frick spending millions on a money losing sport. Even Baylor and UConn women don't make money.
This 1000x over
No one fricking cares about women’s basketball. As evidence by the millions of dollars it loses every year.
Every sports at UConn lost money. Woman's basketball lost the least.
But, it is important to invest in all your sports because they'll drive the TV deals. People want winners and winners bring in revenue.

That's just reality.

UConn doesn’t have a football team driving national brand exposure. UConn needs the brand exposure it gets from having a great women’s basketball team, thus justifying the bad financials for the sport for them.
LSU has a football team driving national brand exposure. LSU does not need the brand exposure it would get from having a top women’s basketball team, thus making an increase in the bad financials of the sport a horrific decision for them.

The university of Texas is the only school with a tv deal. All other tv deals are with conferences and the ncaa. LSU has nothing to gain in terms of tv revenue by investing more money in its women’s basketball program.

You think ESPN gives 2 shits about women’s basketball? No it’s football and men’s basketball. That’s it.
No one and I mean no one ever has landed a major tv deal because of women’s basketball.
You don’t invest into all sports. That’s why you don’t know who the women’s tennis coach is.
I’m fine if we have to pay our dues and put money to this sinkhole but you don’t actually put millions toward it. It’s an awful investment. And no tv executives care about women’s basketball.
