Think about This, when watching WBB (No Men were allowed in the audience)

[Red Don]

This Post got me to thinking (always dangerous ) about Women's Basketball. (Since 1927 when the NSAA Schools allowed it - again)

Women's basketball - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Women's basketball began in the fall of 1892 at Smith College. Senda Berenson, recently hired as a young "physical culture" director at Smith, taught basketball to her students, hoping the activity would improve their physical health....... basketball became the first women's team sport, followed shortly after by hockey.

Despite participating in the first intercollegiate women's basketball game, Stanford's faculty athletic committee banned intercollegiate competition for women, first in team sports like basketball and later extending to all sports, and Cal (as well as many other prestigious colleges at the time) followed suit. In many cases, such bans were not lifted until the 1970s and the introduction ot Title IX.

Oh, and then there is this tidbit:

Despite men being forbidden from watching these collegiate games, the attire (bloomers over stockings) still drew public ridicule.
