[NU Sports] Two responses for the price of one

[johnadeg at comcast.net]

For what ever it is worth, watching the college baseball world series a few years ago, the comment was made that the Mississippi State baseball team draws bigger crowds than the basketball team does. That tells me that the baseball team is a better product, market wise than the BB team; won't ever be able to say that about NU's teams. 

Does anyone know whether NU still have a rifle team? As I recall NROTC sponsored one although it was a letter sport.

Except for the 5 or 6 teams who always make the NCAA's - Maryland, Purdue, 
and others get respectable crowds in for Women's roundball, I think some of 
Maryland's women's games outdraw NU's men's games at times. 

But just like its counterproductive to raise taxes during an economic 
slowdown, it is counterproductive to raise ticket prices on a sport with low 
attendance.

If so, existence should follow demand, which means there would be very 
little women's college sports.
