00:03 - By the way, new eyes in different sports here

00:05 always means better dollar figures down the line.

00:08 We're talking about women's college basketball,

00:09 which basically for years it felt like

00:11 it was UConn and nobody else.

00:12 Multiple great teams, multiple superstars.

00:15 Rick, what's the future of women's college basketball here?

00:17 We're looking for a great charge here down the stretch.

00:20 - Off the charts.

00:21 I had a choice of watching the PGA Tour in my backyard

00:25 that I've been on the board of,

00:26 or watching Caitlin Clark become

00:28 the all time scoring leader.

00:30 No contest.

00:32 I love watching her.

00:34 There's the graphic.

00:36 The fact that Iowa is now up in the same level

00:40 as in Ohio State and that place was rocking.

00:43 And it's not just them.

00:44 It's obviously, it's LSU, it's South Carolina,

00:47 it's everybody else.

00:48 And it's not just the women's basketball quality,

00:51 but the sponsors are paying on,

00:53 they're paying top dollar, the final four and lead up.

00:58 How about if you had, for example,

01:00 you know, Iowa, South Carolina, LSU,

01:03 pick a fourth in the final four.

01:05 They better look at the brackets

01:07 and maybe manipulate the brackets

01:08 to make sure that South Carolina

01:10 and Caitlin Clark are on the opposite side.

01:12 But we'll have to see how that all shakes out.

01:15 It's nothing but better.

01:16 And by the way, women's basketball,

01:19 the Olympics just five months away,

01:21 four months away in London.

01:22 We can't wait for that either.
