"As a committee we are excited that in 2012 our championship will be hosted by institutions from 14 different conferences, with College Station, Little Rock and Kingston hosting for the first time," Marilyn McNeil, vice president and director of athletics at Monmouth University and chair of the Division I Women's Basketball Committee, said in a NCAA release.
