One of college women's basketballs best players, if not the best, complains that the NIL endorsement money that female college athletes are getting is less than the men. She complains about an inequity of facilities for women and men at the NCAA tournament.
She fails to grasp that fans prefer to watch a game which is played one foot above the rim, vs the women's game which is played one foot below the rim. Womens basketball gets 80% fewer fans at games, and the tickets price is 20% of the cost of men's basketball. Almost 100% of female college teams must be subsidized by male sports to survive. ESPN might as well start showing the women's ticker scores in pink, so everyone knows right up front to ignore it.
No one watches your games! When women start generating big revenues, then you'll get big time facilities and money. In the meantime, you'd better start jumping higher and running faster, because that's what viewers want. What a stupid and worn out argument this women brings up.
