There is a lot of stupid in this.Whatever revenue sharing universities get for the TV advertising is already baked in the cake, and women's sports are still LOSING MONEY!

How dare you question it. Let's see, $1 Billion split across how many women's teams? Let's underestimate and go with 300 teams (way lower than it really is).

So that means each team is bringing in on average $3.33 Million (again this is way more than reality). Take out the cost of coaching staffs (likely an average of $1,000,000 if you count the small schools), then the costs for the scholarships, tutors, travel, marketing, and everything else, and I guarantee you it is a significant net negative.

It simply is not as entertaining, and that is fine. No one is sitting here telling people to cancel women's sports. They just want people to accept reality that it is a monetary loss and wouldn't exist without the support of other sports being able to fund them.
