The NCAA is providing an exciting opportunity to fans to purchase autographed commemorative basketball not available to the general public.
The "Home Team" partnership was formed to raise funds and provide volunteer labor to assist in the long-term rebuilding efforts in the Gulf coast areas devastated by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) was one of the first to join the NCAA's fundraising and rebuilding efforts. The NCAA and the national office have pledged a total of $2.5 million to the "Home Team" Partnership.
