Argumentative Analysis: The Women's Basketball Team
The University of Connecticut’s Women’s Basketball team has become an icon for collegiate women’s basketball, and collegiate women’s sports in general. Since Geno Auriemma became head coach in 1994, the team has won eleven national championships, including the ones from the last four years. They won eleven in twenty-one years. The women’s basketball team has the record for most consecutive wins in college basketball, with ninety wins. They have won over twenty regular season championships. Still, the tickets to see this legendary team play cost less than tickets to see a pretty good, but not iconic, UCONN Men’s Basketball team play.
The team has dominated so much over the past couple of years, that you know the UCONN women huskies will win …show more content…
in a blowout of usually more than thirty points. although the games might get predictable, you know that whenever you watch the women’s team play that you’re going to see great basketball.
The UCONN Men have won four NCAA championships, which is impressive, however, it is less than half the amount of championship that the women’s team has won. People who don’t know basketball, know the Women Huskies. They are a nationally recognized team, and few other teams, both men and women, have accomplished what they have in the past twenty-one years.
For one ticket, the price for women basketball games at UCONN range from ten dollars to twenty-six dollars.
The tickets for the men’s basketball games range from fifteen dollars to thirty-six dollars.Honestly, the fact that the most expensive women’s tickets are ten dollars less than the most expensive men’s tickets, is insulting.
The women’s team has won more games than the men’s team for years. They have won more championships, and have more national recognition. I am not asking for the women’s team to have more expensive tickets, Although I believe that the UCONN women’s program is better than the men’s. I just want the tickets to be equal. There is no good reason that a good men’s team should cost more than an iconic women’s basketball team.
The UCONN women have some of the top attendance in women’s college basketball. Connecticut is known for its support of the team, and girl’s basketball in general, so if there is an issue in ticket prices in Connecticut, a state that has consistently gone to UCONN women’s games, then it must be a problem somewhere else.
Both the men and the women's basketball teams have proven themselves to being a strong program. Having expensive tickets shows the prestige of the team, and there are few college teams more prestigious than the UCONN women’s basketball team, therefore at the least they deserve to have the same ticket prices as the
men.
