You know it rustles the shite out of this board that WBB brings in more revenue than college baseball.


That seems odd. Do you have a link?

the truth that women's basketball is actually much more popular nationally than college baseball.

In the SEC? Or nationwide?

I'm not sure nationwide would be a fair comparison, because due to Title 9 basically every college with an athletics program has a women's basketball program.

ETA: There are 299 d1 baseball programs, and more than 350 d1 women's basketball programs.

There are 1,150 baseball programs at 4-year colleges, and over 1,300 women's basketball programs at 4-year colleges.

It's ok guys, with the way UGA is recruiting you will probably get to experience an undefeated title at some point in the future.

We have one already. And a legit title won during the playoffs. Hopefully UGA never makes rings for a phantom championship a la UCF and Auburn.

I hope you’re sitting down because what I’m about to tell you is shocking; that’s not the reason nobody watches women’s basketball.

Difference is, tens of millions of people tune in for football, dozens for womens basketball.


so you agree the premise of your op argument - that women's basketball is boring and not watched due to the sport being dominated by a small number of programs that hoard all the talent, is not correct?

South Carolina is where they are in WBB because Dawn is a strong recruiter and a good HC.

I can assure you of one thing: LSUWBB is coming up fast. As soon as Kim Mulkey recruits an entire squad, all SEC WBB teams better look out and that includes South Carolina.
