What can be done to grow interest in women's sport?
James Janssen suggests the onus is on sports programs to proactively engage with their local community, make the sport accessible and affordable to attend, and build storylines/connections with fans rather than relying on media coverage alone.
Drawn from the episode transcripts.
James Janssen explains that college football crowds at Wake Forest range from 30,000-35,000 at home games up to 80,000+ at bigger schools like Notre Dame, Florida State, and Clemson, while even a 'small' 4,000-student school's basketball arena is comparable in size to Rod Laver Arena.
From episode 78→No. James Janssen states that NCAA rules prohibit college athletes from signing deals or earning money; they receive scholarships covering tuition, room, board, and a small 'cost of attendance' stipend for incidentals, but nothing beyond that.
From episode 78→James Janssen describes Title IX as US anti-discrimination legislation requiring that for every scholarship dollar given to men's sport, an equivalent must go to women's sport, which shapes funding and resourcing of women's basketball programs.
