Examples of things that changed, but didn't necessarily pan out for better. In some cases, good "change" may in fact be "change back to."

Another interesting thing about Ackerman report is suggestion of return to things like top 16 teams hosting and Friday/Sunday FF format.

But evolution/innovation are what growth is all about. WBB doesn't need to apologize for what it "isn't." It needs to promote what it is.

We are never all going to agree on what changes are best, which are wrong turns. With some ideas, only time and experience shows us that.

But this decades-long path of WBB finding its own way and being proud of itself continues. And those who love the sport continue the trek.

It's always been hard for NCAA WBB to forge its own identity, not constantly measure itself against MBB. Some folks will NEVER be WBB fans.
