The money generation works the same way in colleges. Women’s sports are a drain. I’m from Tennessee where the UT Lady Vols basketball team are the Big Bertha of female sports. Yet, the women’s basketball team at UT is only a break even proposition while the Tennessee Vol men’s basketball team is a perennial money maker year after year despite some lean seasons. The general public just does not get too excited at women’s sports, even at the highest level and you can’t legislate preferences.

It’s easy to understand why. Most sports spectators are men. Men do not prefer to watch women’s athletics (tennis and beach volleyball excepted).

Don't give them any ideas.
