NEW YORK -- College womens basketball is exploring ways to change the format of the NCAA tournament, including moving the Final Four back a week to avoid overlap with the end of the mens tournament.In a survey given to the conferences and obtained by The Associated Press, the womens basketball oversight committee laid out a few potential changes that wouldnt take place until 2019, at the earliest. The date change would put the womens Final Four on the same weekend as the Masters.The committee is asking the schools and conferences for feedback on several alterations, including having the opening round at 32 sites and having the second round and regionals played at the same location. Moving the Final Four back would add a bye week to the tournament schedule.The survey has a variety of implications, NCAA vice president for womens basketball Anucha Browne said in a phone interview with the AP on Tuesday. Its an opportunity to see if the current format is where we should stay or look into doing something different. We want to talk to the practitioners on campus -- the senior womens associates, the coaches, we hope there is some feedback from the student-athletes. Student-athlete input is pretty important.The surveys are due on Dec. 2, and oversight committee chair Jean Lenti Ponsetto, who is the athletic director at DePaul, said that it would take a while to digest the information.For sure, its going to take us a couple meetings to work through all the details without having a good idea what the results are going to look like, she said.Browne and Ponsetto both stressed that it would be nearly impossible for anything to change in the immediate future, because regional sites and Final Four locations are already locked in through 2018, including with a new Friday-Sunday setup for the Final Four beginning in 2017.I think there seems to be a perspective in membership that we need to do something in womens basketball. The championship isnt broken and womens basketball is in a good place, Browne said. We want to deliver a strong crowd, and going to a Friday-Sunday format this year will be an opportunity to see how that plays out.Shifting the entire tournament back to avoid a bye week wasnt discussed on the survey. Thats not a proposition that coaches would enjoy.I like playing the following weekend, Louisville coach Jeff Walz said of the current format. At the same time, I see what were trying to do. Whats best for womens basketball for attendance? Thats my only issue with that move. Its a big break. That would be the biggest break in the entire season, including Christmas. We dont have a break that long at any time when the season starts up. It would be something completely different.Expanding to 32 teams hosting in the first round would potentially help expand the womens basketball fan base by allowing more schools to have tournament games on campus.If youre right on that bubble line, thats a great opportunity to host games, Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference commissioner Rich Ensor said. Thats a good way of growing the game.The downside of having 32 first-round sites would be the travel cost. Thats are a big reason why the womens NCAA tournament is operating at a deficit, according to Browne.Its the highest revenue-producing sport for women. If you take travel out of it, its doing extremely well, Browne said.The womens tournament travel party, including the band and cheerleaders, is the same size as that of the mens NCAA tournament. The NCAA is estimating on the survey that going to 32 first-round sites and the revised regional format would increase costs between $1.2 million and $1.4 million.ESPN, which broadcasts the NCAA tournament, was opposed to most of the changes in the survey because of costs and feasibility.Our research has shown that moving the NCAA womens Final Four to Masters weekend would negatively impact ratings and would cause a loss of the cross-promotional benefits of the mens Final Four, said Carol Stiff, ESPNs vice president of womens sports programming.According to the survey, ESPN estimates that viewership could drop 30 percent if the Final Four is moved back. The network, which has been the exclusive home to the championship since 1996, also was against the idea of having 32 first-round sites.With the bracket being released on selection Monday, we expressed to the NCAA that it would be extremely challenging, if not impossible, for us to secure all the necessary resources in such a short time frame if the first-round games were expanded to 32 sites, Stiff said.Most of the ideas were originally discussed in a White Paper put together by Big East commissioner Val Ackerman in 2013 on the state of womens basketball.The Associated Press contributed to this report.?

Former Collingwood star Dane Swan has admitted taking illegal drugs during his AFL career at the Magpies.You show me someone who doesnt know someone who has experimented or tried social drugs, and I will show you a liar, Swan told the Sunday Herald Sun.I have experimented with what some people call recreational drugs, but have never taken performance-enhancing drugs or what you might call heavy drugs.Swan, who won the Brownlow Medal in 2011, revealed that he never failed a drug test during his career which started at Collingwood in 2003.Not one positive test under the AFLs illicit drugs policy, which, given the amount of times I was tested, proves that drugs have never been an issue through my career, despite what some people have implied, the 32-year-old said.ddddddddddddI am not promoting it, or encouraging it, or glorifying it ... of course I have tried drugs, but it doesnt mean that I have a habit or a problem, it doesnt mean that I do it every single weekend or to the extent that people have speculated about it.Swan retired after suffering a foot injury in the opening minutes of the 2016 season, bringing an end to his 258-game career which included winning a premiership in 2010.
