Re: The difficulty of achieving parity with Tennessee, Connecticut



Did you even think before you wrote that comment? Don't you think you're
being a bit naive when you say that after UCONN and TN get their players,
there are enough good players for other schools so that they can be
competitive? There is a reason why in professional sports, the worst teams
get to draft first and that is to achieve parity. What the article points
out that there is no such mechanism in women's college bball. The rich get
richer and though the poor don't necessarity get poorer, it's just hard to
catch up. So you may choose to call it whining but they have something to
whine about. Having the same teams winning the prize year in and year out
makes it somewhat boring and stale for all except for those fans of these
elite teams.
