What’s the point in paying her what it takes to go to LSU in a sport that is an annual loss in revenue


wasn't that way when Sue Gunter had them as a top power. Hell the women were drawing more than the men sometimes.

Agree w the poster:

"either pay her or get someone to do it for $150,000"

True words!

Yes, it was. Even during its peak run in the early-mid 2000s wbb still lost money every year. Like just about every other wbb program.

Because 90% of the fans got in with a free ticket. They used to give them away at grocery stores. I guess they made ok money on concessions but that’s probably it.

I hate seeing people say go get her Scott. The way that guy hires coaches he’ll end up giving her a guaranteed 20 year contract at $10 million per year.

Wrong, we have always lost money on WBB. It was less under Sue because costs were lower, but we have never taken in near enough in revenues to offset the higher and higher costs.

And yes sometimes the women out drew the men, but tickets were way cheaper. There were giveaways. And the biggest factor by far is there is no TV revenue. The women’s tourney doesn’t in pay.

We need to hire the WBB version of Beth Torina and let her rip.

It’s not the attendance that makes a program profitable it’s the TV revenue. Tv contract for WBB can be much $$$
