A home softball game probably averages 500 fans, more for bigger teams. Similar for soccer. I think baseball would attract more, and the AAC is a quality league. Say 1000 attend. That's 1000 more per contest than attend golf, swimming, or track events. Those fans and alums are potential donors, and potential sponsors for advertising, or other sports attendance. Anything to get an alum back on campus supporting the school is a positive.
The non-rev sports? Why do we even fund them or need them? Title IX? Check the sports offerings at schools with baseball and Title IX is not a consideration. I say re-allocate resources to revenue sports.
UIW....no one cares! None of this made him the most qualified candidate to be the head coach at UNT, but here we are. We've regressed significantly under his leadership. He has had no role in developing Rogers or Morris. They were already proven and developed by others. It's not like he discovered a QB no one ever heard of. And for all his ability to identify QB talent, he picked the wrong one for the first two games last year. He is incredibly lucky that Morris ended up here this year. If he's not our QB this season, we'd probably be 1-10 instead of 5-6. Fortunately SMU left the conference and we got to play both Tulsa and Temple twice these last two seasons. He's 0-2 against Vito's "premier rival" and now has us sitting at #97. We took a risk with this hire and it's blown up in our face.
This also roughly coincides with the explosion of the popularity of 7on7 football.
BTW, here's an interesting article on it with a lot of local ties:

Very few people care about it anywhere. I'm glad when our ladies win, but WBB matters about a third of what MBB matters, and MBB matters about a third of what football matters.
Not sure why this thread had to turn into an embarrassing attempt to troll a troll.
