It might actually end up being a more revenue neutral sport like baseball was.You miss 100% of the shots you don't take....
.....but, statistically speaking, you miss 99% of the shots you do take.

Don't know if this was posted. But confirmation that UCONN is on board (the administration at least)

When I was attending WSU we did a feasibility study in my Sport Marketing class on WSU adding football. The results were not good... the Title 9 issues alone almost kill the plausibility of it. In simple terms, title 9 requires you to have the ratio of athletic scholarships handed out to women equal the ratio of women attending the university. If the university is 60% female, then you must provide 60% of your athletic scholarships to women. Division 1 football has 85 scholarships... WSU would have to add women's swimming, soccer, lacross, ice hockey, gymnastics, equestrian, hockey, and water polo just to make up the difference. All sports that would lose money. And that's just the beginning. I'm not even going to get into the crippling finances of football...

How about adding beach volleyball. I hear our brothers at Missouri State are adding it.
