Good point. I only was thinking football in my equation. Maybe they could just go to football and female Hula for Title 9 requirements.

Do away with football out there and just start recruiting Rugby players - could play thoughout SE Asia, Aussie's and New Zealand. Would be less expensive because it's not as much equipment
What we obtain too cheap.. we esteem too lightly. It is persistence alone that gives everything its value.

Play it up right and maybe find a way to get the visitors to pay for the right to play there. Promoted properly I bet they could have a successful and profitable program. If necessary play 1 or 2 games a year in the States for large payouts. If feasible, travel to different Islands for home games to draw more fan support. They could probably get concessions from the NCAA for certain benefits if there was anything to be had.

Maybe it's cheaper by boat.

um....don't say that too loudly. their women's volleyball team consistently ranks in the upper tier in the country -- say, top 10 or so.
