Most people on this board don’t realize that even the most successful women’s basketball teams will rarely ever break even. The thought of being in the black with this hire is not even an expectation. From a business standpoint this hire makes no sense. However, I look forward to watching a good product on the court again. The Mulkey deal will be final by mid week.

While you are correct, some of these folks aren't taking into consideration that Woody has access to the financial books. He knows the potential of the program and knows how much of a financial risk we can afford. He's not going to blindly throw a number at anyone just to get them here. Even if it doesn't make sense in a basketball revenue perspective, it will make sense from an overall perspective.

Correct. It’s about bringing the best for the fans, creating interest and pushing a positive brand.
