The NCAA announced a wide range of NCAA championships sites on Wednesday, including men's basketball sites through 2017-18 and three of the next women's basketball sites.

Men's basketball will remain in Salem, Va., at the Salem Civic Center, through the 2017-18 Final Four. The championship game will have been held in Salem for 23 times in 24 seasons by the end of this contract, with last year's game in conjunction with the Division I Final Four in Atlanta the only exception.

The NCAA revealed that Calvin College's Van Noord Arena will host the 2015 and 2017 Division III women's Final Four, while the 2018 event will be held at the Mayo Civic Center in Rochester, Minn.

Women's basketball is being played at Quandt Fieldhouse at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point this season, which was previously announced. 

The 2016 site was not announced, leaving open the possibility that all three divisions of women's basketball will hold one joint championship in Indianapolis, the site of the Division I women's Final Four. 

The announcement of men's basketball sites seems to not automatically rule out a future combined championship with D-I and D-II, as the 2013 game was shifted to Atlanta despite a previous announcement that it would be held in Salem.
