The Experiment

Description

It’s 1996, more than a decade since the NCAA has taken over women’s college sports. Many of the association’s brightest basketball stars are on Team USA, hoping to take home gold at the Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. But this team is more than just a team. They’re an experiment to see whether it’s worth bankrolling a professional women’s league. While this is happening, women on the collegiate level are still fighting for equal standing for their programs and players. Some believe the NCAA is partly to blame for the rapid decline in women leaders and coaches in basketball.
