Moved to 0-8 in conference play with tonight's loss. Absolutely unacceptable for Williams-Flournoy to let this happen to women's hoops.
I realize they lost a lot last year and they're extremely young this year but it's her 3rd year. She's destroying what Fortner had built up at the end of her tenure

They're gonna get killed by Jimmy Dykes team next to move to 0-9.
I don't see where this losing streak stops

Good guy.
Not much of a Women's hoop fan, but that is pathetic.

Would anyone outside of the player's families care if they just ended the program?

When Fortner had that good run 4-5 years ago the Cattle Arena was packed out.

Per Title IX Auburn would have to tank a men's program along with it.

I would do it.

Or the equivalent number of scholarships from football or total amount of scholarships divided up between the baseball players

Would we have to cut a men's sport though? Right now, there are more women's sports than men at Auburn (equestrian, soccer, gymnastics).

The number of scholarships has to be even on each side.

We're a long way from Ciampi's glory years, but it's hardly reset-button time. You forget we were made it to the 3rd round of the WNIT last year.

Nope. Meeting the criteria of any of the following "prongs" will get you Title IX compliant
quote:
Prong 1: The percentages of male and female athletes are substantially proportionate to the percentages of male and female students enrolled; or
Prong 2: It has a history and continuing practice of expanding athletic opportunities for the underrepresented sex; or
Prong 3: Its athletics program fully and effectively accommodates the interests and abilities of the underrepresented sex.

Hmmm wow the more ya know.

I freely admit I don't follow the sport closely enough to be an adequate judge of the program. Clearly we're having a shitty season, but I don't know if firing W-F and starting over is the answer (I'm assuming the calls to disband the team are hyperbolic).
I'm interested in your opinion as to what is wrong, and what our options might be. TIA.

Remember that time the women's team played in 3 straight national championship games? That will never happen again.
