May I inquire into where all the women’s college basketball coverage is? Because I know for a fact that the UConn WOMEN’S basketball team is doing very very well…and I don’t see you covering any of their victories. And TV is even worse, there’s hardly enough advertising for women’s anything…and the last time I checked it was 2008 and women were allowed to wear pants and play sports.
Hide all the men and children!
It’s a sad commentary
The female college hoops blogs aren’t exactly drawing up huge ComScore ratings, sorry DCasa. But as the ladies’ tournament heats up, I will have some stuff up on the site.
Ratings are all that matter, huh? Well can’t wait for your thoughts buddaayyyy
