Vice President Harris Misstates NCAA Women's Bracket History

Kamala Harris' claim that NCAA Women's basketball brackets were introduced in 2022 corrected; actual practice dates back to the early 1980s.

Vice President Kamala Harris mistakenly claimed that the NCAA Women's basketball tournament was not allowed to have brackets until 2022, sparking widespread correction.
Harris' comment was intended to highlight progress in women's sports but was factually incorrect; women's NCAA tournament brackets have existed since the early 1980s.
The Vice President's office clarified that Harris was referring to the March Madness branding, which was applied to the women's tournament in 2022.
Harris and her husband had previously filled out women's tournament brackets in 2021, contradicting her statement.
Despite the error, Harris emphasized the importance of visibility and support for women's sports, celebrating the attention star athletes are bringing to women's basketball.
