Old fart,
How many women soccer games have you or any of the guys you drink coffee with been too?
I doubt you could name 4 out of the team by name let alone a photo or position.
The bottom line is we have consistently placed in the top 5 of women's soccer attendance and ultimately that is all that matters. Women's and most men's sports are a revenue drain so if we keep a packed stadium then we are lowering the revenue loss and that is a major win for the AD.
If the coach is here 25 more years and we keep the stadium packed and make the tournament no one is going to blink an eye. Softball has been sitting in the bottom of the top 25 of attendance so I think that one is a bit more pressing, but again not by much.
They just are not a big deal for big money to get excited about.
