[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 791789, member: 789"] The NCAA Men’s basketball program built their brand over many, many years. Talented individuals had a dream and worked hard to accomplish it. Now it’s a billion dollar a year business. The Women’s basketball program had little interest OR it attracted lesser talented individuals trying to build their brand. Take your pick. There’s plenty of women run businesses dominating their markets having achieved success over similar periods. This is a free country or at least it’s supposed to be. If there’s someone preventing women from selling tickets to their games to generate revenue & interest in their programs then “out” them and let those people face the music. Far more people watch women’s gymnastics than men’s, same for figure skating, etc. If women are pissed off at the treatment of their sport then start buying tickets, spend money on women’s basketball jerseys, watch their games on tv, etc. They will then have the revenue to eat lobster, outfit a gym they won’t visit, fly first class or whatever else they want to squander their money on. Oh yeah maybe hire some competent people to run their tournament so they remember to put a logo on their court. Right now we’re taking money the men are EARNING and giving it to the women so we can have equality. Must really feel good to be given something you didn’t EARN and then show your butt in public complaining about the fact it wasn’t good enough. [/QUOTE]
