If a donor offers to give the school $10 million on the condition that UC adds softball, the university will make it happen. I'm just guessing, but I suspect that anything less than that won't get it done (someone correct me if you think I'm wrong).

Doss, if you put up $9.995 million, I'll put up the rest.

Because nothing says serious investment like a Go Fund Me account.....

It was sarcasm. One person will not accept that WFPSB is DOA!

After my $1 we are closer!
Sarcasm. WFPSB is DOA and a RDI.

the last I checked, the NCAA only has softball in women's sports. Time to get local girls softball stars a reason to stay home at Cincy.
Cincinnati does not have a big base of softball stars. The South makes them look stupid. I am from Cincinnati living in Georgia. My daughter would not ever made college playing softball if we lived up there still. But, power 5 BIG12.......softball is a must. It is HUGE. For sure as big as baseball

That is probably somewhere in the #50-#60 on their list of priorities. No reason to throw money at a sport with zero identity at the University that would just be a money pit (we're talking 8 figure bill for a stadium, that we don't have land for, and then next to no revenue coming in for a sport that costs quite a bit of operational dollars). Not to mention, we are running a $30M deficit in the department and will be lucky to get that much out of this conference annually. There are WAYYYYYY more important things that money will be going to...not a sport that very few care about in the grand scheme (and yes, I recognize you individually may, but softball doesn't even twitch the needle as far as money in is concerned). Can we stop asking this question until we're consistently funding our AD at a level that doesn't require $30M in general funds and we have supported the sports that pay the bills adequately.

In a vacuum with no feasibility facts or opinions I'd be all for it and would support it. It's the only college women's sport I enjoy watching enough to go to a game or watch on TV. There are a whole lot of sports, both men's and women's, that could go the way of the dodo bird that I wouldn't lose much sleep over if it meant getting B12 softball to town.
