AIAW Sports Remembered on TVS Pageant.Com

When the Title IX legislation was passed to give women an equal chance to compete in intercollegiate athletics, the neandrethals at the NCAA were having none of it. Let those women figure it out for themselves. Andy they did! The top women athletic administrators in the country led by Donna Lopiano of Texas brought about the AIAW and the fun began. All of a sudden there were national championships for women in basketball, tennis, swimming, track and field, and other sports. The Mizlou Television Network started telecasting Immaculata's basketball championships and later the TVS Television Network started covering several AIAW championships. Many can be seen here on the TV4U.Com 'Chick' IPTV channel, with is located at TVS Pageant.Com. Of course, once the brush was cleared and the events established, the heavy handed NCAA came in and ripped the AIAW asunder. But the results of these efforts by the AIAW can be felt every day as thousands of deserving , talented collegiate women now have the chance to participate in collegiate sports.
