This creates a lot of parity as the barrier of entry to compete isn't astronomical like it is in football or men's basketball. Some mid-major schools that have trouble competing in other sports rally behind their women's team as it's the one sport they are actually "good" at.

So true.

OU spends the money but it's nothing but a drain for the AD and quite frankly even more of a drain becasue fans don't embrace WBB. Haven't even won a CC in a decade yet Sheri is paid near the top in the sport. Attendance is crap with 3k fans at games.

There are some really amazing fan bases in WBB.
ISU draws 6-10k people for games and they aren't very good. South Carolina has a great following.
