Funny how hawk fans and media quickly forgot that they blamed bad Iowa MBB attendance not for on court performance but that Iowa City is further from Des Moines. Then CC comes around and Iowa is selling out every home women's game. Iowa fans are fair weather fans at a very minimum. CC was the flash in the pan that had the fans come to Iowa WBB games, there will be residual demand next year but that spike will fall off in the coming 2-3 seasons and they will be back to similar crowds pre-Clark.I'll be interested to see if that is really achievable.
Did fans come to see WBB or Clark the top individual talent in her sport? I am guessing it is the latter.
Tennessee and UCONN WBB maintained decades of success and attendance but that was driven by HOF coaches Pat S and Geno.
