Subject: That would be the worst business decision we ever made.
Posted by: Chris Coleman on Fri May 9 2008 11:03:23 AM
Message:

Will used to do women's basketball articles back in the day, including
recaps to every single game. The traffic stats indicated that most
people don't care about women's basketball. And by most, I mean
nearly everyone. And if they don't care about women's basketball,
then they sure aren't going to care anything about women's basketball
recruiting. Getting info on women's basketball recruiting would cost
us more than it would make us.

You've got to remember, this is a business for us. Covering women's
basketball, women's basketball recruiting, or any of the Olympic
Sports would not pay my mortgage for me.
