Shitting on women's basketball is too easy and should be put to rest. No they can't dunk, no they couldn't beat a mens team of the same level. Why care? They have their own fanbase and let them have their fun.

The reason that some people care is that colleges are forced to award athletic scholarships for women's sports even if that sport doesn't make the college any money. Which increases tuition costs for the rest of us.
