Tell the best visual story about women’s college basketball attendance. Using the provided NCAA attendance dataset, students will design a data visualization that answers the central question: What story does the data reveal about women’s basketball attendance, and what factors appear to influence it?

Examples of story angles may include:

• Attendance trends over time
• Impact of conference strength or rivalry
• Relationship between wins and attendance
• Geographic patterns and fan engagement
• Tournament vs regular season dynamics

While instructional support and mentorship sessions will be provided via Tableau, students may use any visualization platform of their choice.

• Visualization must be original student work
• Must clearly communicate a data-driven story
• Should include clear narrative framing, effective design, and explanation of insights

Submissions should be emailed to an IU Indy email address (forthcoming) as a png file embedded in a Word document with a 150–250 word description.

A panel of NCAA representatives and IU Indy sport analytics faculty and students will judge submissions.

Winner Prize:

• Four free tickets to the March Madness Fan Fest
• Visualization promoted via NCAA outlets
