Not at all. I think in order to keep the true spirit of competitiveness there cant be such large gaps in talent. That can vary from the different sports and different sexes.

This means that sometimes suzy or johnny who love the sport oh so much just arent good enough. And that is ok. They shouldnt be given an opportunity because its there, but instead because they earned it.

I think the main issue with the talent gap is exacerbated because of women's college basketball.

As you said earlier, chalk usually wins in the NCAA which is very true. The issue is that many girls would rather go to UCONN, Tennessee, Duke, UNC, etc. and ride the bench rather than try and be a star at a lower level school. Those teams are extremely deep and bring in ALL the best talent.

There are still tons of competitive games in NCAA Womens ball. The majority are competative. I think you're selling women's sports short.

There are sports that many mens teams perennially dominate as well. College Hockey and Wrestling come to mind.
