basketball is even competitive is a joke . Look at some of the score differentials between say a number 1 through 4 team and a number 10 through whatever team when they play. Women are not getting rich going to the WNBA so they value a degree more and because of this ND attracts. Watch when the NCAA tourney comes this year there may be 4 games in the mens' that are blowouts whereas the women will have blowouts all the way to the elite 8 and possibly more.
