What I like is the ambition behind it all.
couple of questions:
1) Do all NCAA sports make colleges money? If so, why couldn't cycling? It is quickly gaining popularity in the US.
2) Why do you say that cycling can't turn out female participants? I don't think your statement has any merit...
As for racing over the summer, you're right, I don't know how they'd get around that.
