It’s not a state secret that most (all?) women’s college sports programs lose money for their schools. Because the same can be said for most men’s sports programs. The trick is that at big schools a few men’s programs can pay for everyone else.
So Dan LeBatard isn’t breaking news in general about women’s hoops, but he covers new territory in linking up the insane amounts of money that women’s basketball programs spend, and then putting that in context with how much they lose. For instance: UConn’s iconic women’s program lost $723,900 last year. Why? Because their coach was being paid in an $8M deal.
