Anyone know why Women's BB was left out of 1Oklahoma collective. The three sports included are football, men's BB and softball.

I don't know but the article I read said they want to add other sports in the future.

My belief is backing form the sports alumni base and popularity of the sport. As the article below states, they are looking in the future to add other sports. With WBB if this was back in the Twins time frame WBB would have been in.

In addition, is women's basketball the only women's sport where all the players get full scholarships? That could have played a part in the decision, too.

Only WWB, gymnastics, tennis and volleyball are considered HEAD COUNT sports and a head count sport means the stated limit is absolute, and the number of athletes receiving awards cannot exceed this number, even if the awards are partial.

Hence WBB with 15 allowed scholarships all are generally full scholarships but the school is free to have some of those scholarships be partial. But in reality I think only partials would be given at minor schools with financial issues. Ditto gymnastics, tennis and volleyball.
