Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2066856, member: 5798"] [B]In case you didn't know -[/B] Former Kansas All-American [B]Lynette Woodard[/B] was a four-time All-American who scored more points ([B]3,649[/B]) [U]than any other collegiate women’s player. [/U] The [B]Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women[/B] (AIAW) was founded in 1971 to govern collegiate women's ath[U]l[/U]etics in the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States']United States[/URL] and to administer national championships (see [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIAW_Champions']AIAW Champions[/URL]). Following a one-year overlap in which both organizations staged women's championships in 1982, the AIAW discontinued operation, and most member schools continued their women's athletics programs under the governance of the NCAA. Woodard graduated in 1981. [B]All of her points were scored under the governance of the AIAW.[/B] That is why her record of 3649 is not recognized by the NCAA. A record that has stood for 36 years, and has not come close to being broken. Before Plum, Stiles came the closest, but fell 256 points short.Lynette [B]Woodard is only 5'11" tall. [/B] [B]In 1982[/B] the first [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Women%27s_Division_I_Basketball_Championship']Division I NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament[/URL] was held. The NCAA was able to offer incentives, such as payment of transportation costs, to participating members, something the AIAW was not able to do. When former AIAW powerhouses like [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_Lady_Volunteers_basketball']Tennessee[/URL], [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_Tech_Lady_Techsters_basketball']Louisiana Tech[/URL], and [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Dominion_Lady_Monarchs_basketball']Old Dominion[/URL] decided to participate in the NCAA tournament, the AIAW tournament lost much of its appeal and popularity, and folded.
