I know it's stupid, but FYI, the DF Duel will be decided by the Men's baseball team on May 15-17. Look here for an update.
BYU needs to take one of those three games to win the trophy. That said, how hollow would a Utah victory be in the grand scheme of things? Sure, they won the trophy, but they lost all three games in the only sports that really matter...

I highly doubt that the athletes and coaches on either side care.

Any competition that says womens and mens basketball have equal importance is completely lame. Any competition that says two womens basketball games have equal importance to a single mens football game is completely lame.

What's the correct ratio? 1000:1? Based on attendance it would probably be around that number.

# athletes participating attendance revenue generated TV ratings Any objective measure says that women's sports are not as significant as men's sports and thus shouldn't have equal significance. |

Yeah, but how many of those 420 bought a ticket?

Watching womens sports, in general, is an exercise in frustration & pain. Much like getting your nails pulled off with pliers. I went to the WNBA team in Utah a few times (the Stars?). I enjoyed watching the Lesbo's in the crowd interact more than the game itself.
