Which begs the question raised in a previous thread, why have the tournament anywhere but California.

Perhaps to encourage a situation where this is no longer the case?


There are 32 women's water polo teams in division 1, and 26 in divisions 2 and 3.
Not exactly the most commonly played sport, but certainly not the least. There are several NCAA sports that are struggling to have enough teams to make them truly national and competitive.

For example, there are 15 schools with division 1 mens gymnastics programs and one division 3 team that competes with division 1.
There are 22 men's division 1 water polo teams - so the women have that beat.
There's 27 division 1 fencing teams, 22 with men.
There's about 30 mens volleyball division 1 teams, but I think they compete with a handful of division 2 teams.
There's 35 womens ice hockey NCAA division 1 teams.
etc.
