Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3309717, member: 7492"] Whoa there KnightBridge. WBB IS NOT OFTEN THE STEPCHILD. Look at virtually any other women's sport or any non-revenue men's sport at many schools and especially the state schools. WBB is often the "Star" child, given more coaches, academic advisors, Athletic Department Personnel and Student Managers. Look at all the schools and tell me what Women's program has more than the basketball program? The salaries of the coaches among the Women's sports-Basketball FAR OUTPACES all the others. Heck the schools you reference above treat their Swim Team deplorably Seton Hall has 50 Swimmers for both Men's and Women's with 1 Head coach and 2 assistants, Georgetown has 53 Swimmers with 1 Head Coach and 2 assistants and PC has it even worse, 55 swimmers with 1 Head Coach and 1 Assistant. Never mind none have the full compliment of scholarships. BTW, Rutgers cut the Men's team due to Title IX consideration so they wish they were a "stepchild" instead of put up for adoption. So, while yes, the Memphis women being promised facilities by the AD and then not given them is deplorable, Melissa's behavior was still not good and her salary is 6 times that of the Swim coaches as is the salary for many of the WBB coaches vs. all the other non-revenue sports.
