Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4319027, member: 44"] Nope. The link you provided said the cheapest price for this year was $289 as has been pointed out to you numerous times. Do you understand that ticket price does not equal net profit, right? As we’ve talked about regarding UConn’s deal with the XL Center, sometimes, renting a venue can trigger a loss, rather than a profit. As you have pointed out the vast majority of games for the NCAA tournament are played in largely empty venues. All of those venues still need to be paid for. “But, but, but $690!” really isn’t an answer. In any event, your core point, I think, was if the woman’s game actually makes a profit, then revenue should be shared. I don’t think anyone disagrees with that. It just shouldn’t look like the men’s profit distribution because even the rosiest of predictions indicate that the value of the women’s tournament is pennies on the dollar compared to the men’s tournament. Your “but but but $690“ here doesn’t really advance that argument, but it is entertaining wheel spinning. You’re welcome. [/QUOTE]
