The committee will prioritize enhancement of the student-athlete educational experience (academically and athletically), and in doing so, promote student-athletes’ personal growth and leadership development.
The Women’s Basketball Oversight Committee will supervise qualifications and/or selection procedures for the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship.
