  Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Formation of the AIAW was approved by the DGWS Council and the AAHPER Board of Directors in 1971, but the CIAW continued to operate until July 1, 1972, at which time the AIAW officially came into existence, with over 280 schools as members.
The AIAW was not without criticism either though, as many outsiders and some individual members continuously complained that the association devoted too much of time, efforts, and funds securing distinction and independence from the NCAA.
On June 1, 1979, AIAW assumed a separate legal identity and became a nonprofit corporation in the District of Columbia.

With the passing of the plan, AIAW membership quicky declined, and by 1982, the organization ceased its operations.
