Working Overtime Before The Game Even Begins.
This latest report reiterates what college officials have known for a very long time: which is that college sports are spiraling out of control. Major earning sports like men's football and basketball have long functioned as veiled minor leagues for their professional counterparts, and over the last three decades universities such as Tennessee and Connecticut have developed women's basketball franchises rivaling the top football programs. Another team that belongs on this list is the Rutgers Women's basketball team who before being sideswiped by Don Imus in a RUI (Racism Under the Influence) incident last year, was long the cornerstone of that university's academic department, and whose success paved paid the way for their football team's recent renaissance. As schools try branding their softball, baseball and hockey teams in hopes that they can replicate the success of women's basketball, and sports such as golf, gymnastics and tennis are called on to generate revenue in order to legitimate their existences, collegiate athletes are enduring a hitherto unimagined workload.
Women's hoops, and nothin' but the hoops.
