Not trying to knock, I'm generally interested in how a random UConn's women's game compares to a random UConn men's game (or perhaps exchange the Uconn's men's program for Duke) or a random UD men's game. Is this for certain going to be on national TV? If so, it would give UD the chance to pimp its women's program a bit to alum...I'd tune in.
Med. I was using the word "large" in the context of women's basketball. All UConn games are televised regionally and many nationally. However it turns out, the TV audience will be well above Dayton's average.

Out goal is a nationally prominent women's program. We got a whiff of that in our Elite 8 year. UConn on our schedule has great PR value as regards scheduling other high level opponents and recruiting. Most likely attendance will be higher than usual and the joint will be rockin. Coach Greene will probably have a recruit or two at the Arena.

A competitive game would be a very good thing for our program. And with the unique support of Flyer BB fans I see no reason why Dayton's women's BB cannot be a regular Top 25 program. To get there we've got to recruit good players, schedule top teams, always be among the top few A10 teams, get to the Dance regularly....and, most important, win.
