If we expand to 7,500 and add a bunch of luxury suites we could turn a profit in baseball like LSU does. Vols games wouldn’t have any trouble getting 7,500 in seats with this product out there. Add in the luxury suites and you have a money maker

I'm sure the convo ended hours ago, I'm just catching up, but just wanted to add this goes beyond college development. Look at this at the largest scale: American women's sports own the rest of the world in almost everything. The reason is that the United States invests in women's sports more than any other country.

Look at football recruiting: Georgia, Texas, California, and Florida don't run the recruiting show because those states magically have better athletes than other states - they have more invested into youth development and higher quality coaches coaching at the youth levels. By the time they're freshmen on campus they've had more professional training than some guys at the NFL combine from Wyoming or something.

I think those concepts make sense to just about everyone here as generally understood rules (I know there are exceptions and nuances - no need to point them out).

What UTProf is saying (I think) is that this rule is applying to the disparity between the amount invested in developing women's basketball players before they get to college versus men's players. There are exceptions for the best of the best players, but from top to bottom there's less opportunities for top notch development in middle and high school for women's basketball players. The Lady Vols of old were the best players in the country with loaded talent, speed, ball handling skills, etc. Whether they had a ton of formal training or not, they had those skills before they came to Knoxville and got better while there. Right now, Kellie's team doesn't have the same caliber athletes - and that's why their games look like U8 AAU at times.

That is all, if you think this is all BS keep it to yourself.

This! You said it so much better than me.
