"Give me the women’s tournament over the men’s any day.

I'm going to get flamed for this, but what is this woman smoking?

I'm the father of two girls who both participate in scholastic sports and I'm happy that they can. But, to think for a moment that the NCAA women's basketball games are "entertaining", let alone more entertaining than the mens is ridiculous.

Women just aren't athletic enough to make watching them play basketball entertaining - golf, yep, tennis, sure, swimming, you bet, gymnastic - ok. But basketball - no way. Whomever ends u winning the Women's NCAA tourny, could not beat a city men's all-star team comprised of 15 year-old boys - they just couldn't. Sorry.

As the mother of 4 girls who play 4 sports (competively), I agree with you. As a former “athlete” and current coach, I agree with you.

The best female can’t hold a candle to the best male athlete.

Title IX made colleges, Division I anyway, provide money/scholarships for womens’ sports. They don’t generate the profit but have to provide the same scholarship money (if I recall correctly). Certain Universities have sports teams that provide most of the profit but they have to financially support other sports programs, most that don’t generate any profit.
