    But if one of NDSU's goals is to get more men's games on TV, wouldn't that actually hurt the women? Even less fans going to games because they could go to a bar or stay home to watch the men on TV? I would think the majority of folks would rather watch the Bison men play at Oakland on TV in the middle of January rather than trekking to the BSA for that same women's match-up, no?

    They should just play Thursday-Saturday doubleheaders, now I doubt if I will ever go to another women's conference game. I'd rather follow the men's game.

    Will people want to go have a home game every Thursday and Saturday during conference season? With men's and women's games on at home on the same weekend off weekends can be used for other commitments or activities.

    Those Sat. double headers are going to be missed. Especially at the Dakota Schools, since a good portion of the non-student attendence is coming from up to 4 hours away to watch the action. Getting 4 hours of entertainment is a lot easier to sell 2 to 8 hours of travel, than 1.5 hours of entertainment.

    Women's attendence figures will probably show SDSU #1, USD #2, ORU #3, OU #4 this season. Get back to winning ways, Bison have demonstrated that WBB can be #1 or #2 attendence. If battling the Jacks, for #1, I would not be surprised if Bison crowds at home average higher the Jacks at home.
