Co-Ed championship meets ......... No thanks.
Keep the NCAA championships separate. It's part of what makes the NCAAs exciting.

Co-Ed ChampionshipsThe prospect of co-ed meets took two steps forward – one large, and one small. The small step was made in Division I where the committee endorsed the concept of a co-ed swimming and diving championship. The committee stopped short of fully sponsoring a proposal until such time as a suitable facility could come online. There have been discussions that the NCAA, the Indiana Sports Commission, and Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI) could work together towards renovations to the storied IUPUI facility.
The big step forward came in Division III where a combined meet will be held in 2009. A shortage of bids for two consecutive weekends, combined with the availability of the University of Minnesota for a combined meet, led the committee to the decision.

I think it's the comraderie that men only or women only have at meets like this. When you put men and women together - it changes things!!! It's not a bad thing, but there's tons of wonderful tradition (currently)... don't fix it if it ain't broken.
Good call on banning the suits for another year - the suits are too darn expensive.
