Message: [QUOTE="Dokey, post: 3041882, member: 9636"] Parity. During UConn's dominance since 1995, there was silly talk as to how this was bad for the women's game. Today we are moving closer to parity and UConn helped create that parity by lifting the interest in women's basketball (confession: I am not a basketball fan, I am a fan of WOMENS basketball, my favorite game to watch). We still don't have complete parity. One, sometimes two, teams dominate their conferences. UConn is alone, Baylor has some push from Texas, South Carolina and Miss State currently dominate SEC but Tennessee can move up, Notre Dame and Louisville dominate theirs. PAC12 might have slighter better balance with Oregon, Oregon State, Utah and Stanford but Oregon is likely to be the new UConn. For a few years the polls will show the same 20 teams in top 25 but every year will bring more change as more high school girls choose to play, as more high schools can hire coaches with college experience. No real parity yet but it is coming rapidly for a sport that only requires five players on the court. And UConn deserves credit for this. [/QUOTE]
