You know -- as an educator, I'm all for full, quality participation. There's a pedagogical reason behind having that sort of athletics in our schools. There's also a strong pedagogical reason for having competition and excellence.
What you have here in UConn is excellence. What you've had in Tennessee is excellence (and still have - remember who won two in a row recently?). What you had with LaTech, with Delta State, with the Mighty Macs, with Nashville Business College, with Des Moines American Institute of Business, with Wayland Baptist, with Dallas Cyclones is excellence.
You know what is bad for women's basketball? That so many will find the names mentioned above unfamiliar.

And to extend: pedagogically, there is no better way to encourage growth than setting the standard high and holding everybody accountable to it. It's anti-competitive and detrimental to suggest that there's something wrong with having a high standard.
