    But when the women start to win, will it still be a cash drain?? Used to be better attended than men from some of the reports..

    Keep your expectations low enough and you will always be happy with the results

    Women's attendance grew when the WBB game was on the same night as the men. People would get to games early to get seats for the mens game, and the women's game turned out to be pretty darn good too. The men were good, but the women started winning championships.

    Exception not the rule. And the mens team was terrible when it happened. Ticket prices were very low and bolstered by playoff games. They started counting double header numbers towards women and they were winning D2 National Championships. The odds of winning Division 1 National Championships is .00001%

    Investing more into WBB than mens is delusional

    Although we need to spend more for both programs to take the next step and WBB has the potential to draw very well

    I had season tickets back then and the crowd thinned after the women's game was done. It has been a long fall from grace for the Bison women's bb team.

    NDSU is a women's Basketball school, or at least it used to be. It is a travesty what happened to the program and even greater travesty that SDSU picked up the reins and ran with it.

    I was a student then and I remember one weekend (may have been Bison-Sioux) they played the men's game Friday night and the women's game Saturday to maximize ticket revenue and the women's game was packed. There were plenty of seats the night before for the men's game. They weren't a top team, but they were good and competitive in the conference. I believe they won the conference a couple times in the mid-90s. The women's games were so much fun. They were legit good.

    How many D1 players are there in the conference? As bad as we were we still won some D1 games.

    Anyone that says NDSU wasn't a women's basketball school wasn't around in the late 80's early 90's. I went to almost every game men's and women's during that time and the women's game was where everyone wanted to be.
