Because Alleva is a moron who completely gave up on that program. Funny a few years ago he talked about how we need to get the WBB program back to where it once was but it has been the opposite. He was lazy and didn't want to deal with a coaching search.

Her players graduated and aren't in prison, that was a win for him

WBB will never be a money maker no, but it wouldn't be such a money pit if we put a decent product on the floor and competed on a national stage. Pokey days, the PMAC was packed like crazy, there was a lot of merchandise sold, and they Brought a positive buzz to the university nationally. If LSU invests in putting a good product on the floor and commit to being successful, they will show up and invest in it.

WBB doesn’t make a profit on paper, and likely never will at LSU, but one shouldn’t discount the value of 4-6 two-hour commercials for LSU in March.

While those dollars don’t show up on paper, they indeed have a value. And under Fargas, those valuable dollars have been left of the table for our peers to grab.

Anyone that’s ever bought a 30-60 second spot on TV knows the kind of free marketing money I’m talking about here for a two-hour window. And that free marketing benefits more than just the women’s basketball program.

Millions being left on the table in women’s basketball. Many millions. Alleva recognized that in the beginning. Whether he lost sight of that, got distracted, got complacent, or just got lazy, I don’t know. But I expect Woodward will not and that will likely be one of his first big moves outside of expressing clarity on Will Wade’s future at LSU.
