Did that once. Way back in the 90's, men's basketball was sucking sewer water. Women's basketball was flying under Bonnie Henrickson. They were the talk of the town, and, at least by message board standards better than men's bball.

Obviously men's bball board couldn't be eliminated to be replaced by women's bball, so a new board was created.

Then 2 things happened. 1) We had 3 straight good to great men's bball hires were made following a series of horrible men's bball HC hires. Interest in men's bball revived. 2) Bonnie went west for greener pastures, and Weaver made a bad hire, followed by a disastrous hire. Interest in women's bball then plummeted into the depths of the cellar.
