I would disagree. Look whats going on in Louisville and at UK. I'm certain they are doing very, very well. Louisville ladies are filling up Yum Yum Center and the same with UK at Rupp. It's a very popular sport and a lot of people follow. Many of the traditional male sports fanatics don't understand. Having watched and coached my daughter in high school and grade school, I grew to love the ladies game as well.

I can guess why the athletic department does not want to fire the coach. Because the last coach that was fired, left the city and died of a heart attack months later. His widow sued UC (not sure of the amount and not sure if she won) for some type of wrongful termination. Mike Thomas fired him because he had two really bad loosing seasons. So now UC is afraid (my feelings only) to fire another coach, a minority coach for anything. That's why the mens soccer coach has remained as well even though he is consistently losing. Just my take on things.
