Re: NCAA D1 and D2, that's actually pretty far from being true across all conferences in the majority of games. It varies widely by what the gender breakdown of the conference's staff is, as well as the conference supervisor's philosophy and/or directive from her/his conference commissioner. (Unless you're talking about the NCAA D1 Tournament. Which I have no insight into. Except I do know that the 2012, 2013, and 2014 games were all-women crews on the Championship Games.)
