My pet pet is my gym planet fitness. Tv's everywhere with only Men's games. What the @#!# More than half of the members are female. I would like to see a little pressure on gym to support Women athletes too!
Something that would be interesting to see - you might already have this data - would be looking at the distribution of conference games, by conference, in tiers: the ones that come to mind for me are national (available on (almost) all providers, so over-the-air ABC/FOX/etc plus ESPN/2/U plus FS1 I think), regional (BTN, Pac12, SECN, ACCN), and premium-only (B1G+, SECN+, ACCNX, BYU, ESPN+).
It would not surprise me to see a (much?) higher percentage of men's games on the wider tiers and a higher percentage of women's games on the lower tiers, e.g. the Big Tenteen might have 10/10/0 in a given week for MBB (I do not believe any MBB conference games are ever on B1G+) and 2/4/14 for WBB. One might think it would be better for conferences with better TV deals, but those seem to be better only for men - again, the Big Tenteen example that I made up but probably isn't very far off the mark.
FWIW, the only reliable source I have found for broadcast location of Pac-12 games is the actual school sites themselves, since they seem to list how both past and future games are/were shown. Pac-12 in particular is an issue since their TV deal is so bad and it's hard to find out what's been on, say, Pac-12 Oregon unless you actually have access to it. ESPN's composite schedule is great for ESPN networks, adequate for national competitors (CBS, BTN) and worthless for premium competitors.
