redsteve Posted December 9, 2015 Report Posted December 9, 2015 Does anyone know if other D1 programs run men practice squads like the huskers do? UConn does. I heard the men's practice squad traveled with them to a final four playoff (stayed in a Motel 6 or something) so the girls could get "men" style practice. Coaches at most of the country's major Division I women's basketball programs began using male students at about 15 yrs. ago. They did it, the coaches say, in search of a higher level of competition for the starters than their female reserves could provide. The men generally have been accomplished high school players who may have been good enough to play at the Division III level in college. Quote
