Quiz:  Name an NCAA sport in which teams from a single state have won more than 1/4 of all the NCAA championship, but the NCAA has never held a championship in that sport in that state.

Women's swimming?  From what I can tell, the championship has never been held in CA

Men's swimming has only been in CA twice in 81 years

Right (WSwim), with 9 championships for Stanford, 4 for Berkeley, 1 for USC (14 in California) of the 36 championships (1982-2017).  The only rationale I can think of is the lack of indoor facilities for a meet in March.  I don't see that an NCAA Women's D-I Swim Championship has ever been west of the Central Time zone.

MSwim D-I championship has been in the Pacific Time zone 6 times in the 81 years (if "Washington" means the school, vs the city), with 2 in California ("Long Beach State", so presumably the Belmont pool).  8 championships for Stanford, 5 for Berkeley, 9 for USC (22 in California).
