In the words of Beyoncé, who run the world? It may just be women’s college sports.
ESPN PR announced on Tuesday that the 2021–22 NCAA women’s sports season was a record year across its platforms. Three separate sports championships amassed the best audiences in over a decade—volleyball, basketball and gymnastics.
Volleyball’s 1.2 million was the best on record as Wisconsin took the win, basketball tallied its highest since 2004 (4.85 million) as South Carolina topped UConn and gymnastics saw 922,000 viewers for its team final, its best since 2011, as Oklahoma bested Florida and Auburn.
