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.

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.

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
