I would too, but with Title IX going away I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Since the UA picked up Triathlon, I really don't seeing that happening, although it would probably be more popular.

I think women's flag football would do very well. If they have a competitive team, I could see attendance being in the thousands.

As a woman I've been dying to see this happen for a looooooong time. Even if Arizona doesn't pick it up right away I can see it quickly becoming a popular sport as far as women's athletics go.

there will be money backing ff, so i think it'll gain traction - just hopefully not to the detriment of non-revenue sports. the nfl's commissioner has said in the past that "the future is flag football" and sees it as a worthy investment. with CTE and such, it's probably where he envisions preservation and even global expansion of football.

I'll make a guess that the only ones that see the games are family and friends of the team. I do hope I'm wrong but I don't think it will draw a lot of interest

Exactly. Nobody will go and it would just be a funding suck on the AD.

Like every other sport not named football or basketball.
