Covering Women's Basketball

I enjoy covering women's basketball. That's no secret. I enjoy promoting women's hoops -- especially in the Houston area -- because not many media outlets promote the high school and college athletes, teams, and coaches as opposed to just covering the Houston Comets. However, for me to continue covering the sport I love, a few options are open to me:

1. win the Lottery (Texas) or the MegaBall.
2. continue working 8 to 5 (which is a good thing because it provides steady income); but, unfortunately, it also limits my coverage to just night games. Working a day job means I can't attend practices; press conferences held during the day; tele-conferences; or events like Media Day.
3. generate more paying sponsors to help cover expenses.
4. generate more subscribers / HRR Members to help cover expenses.
5. work for a women's basketbll publication / magazine.

The Houston Roundball Review is not the only source of information for Houston area women's hoops; but, "it doesn't take a long time to call the roll" for the media that does cover women's hoops in Houston.
