It's a women's event. To me, when we give young girls an opportunity, like their brothers, to participate in sports at a young age, it helps in the development process. It's so important for young girls, the concept of teamwork. That's some of the benefit of this tournment. When I go to sponsors, to sell them a package, I tell them that when they buy a package, they're sending a message to their women employees, to their young women customers.
People say women's sports are hot now.
Andruzzi found out the hard way about the perception versus the reality of women's sports. She left her job as general manager of the American Basketball League's Philadelphia Rage in 1997, one year before the entire league went under. Until recently, she always had Domino's to fall back on. She got into franchising back in the early 1980s, when Domino's had only two female franchisees, and ended up with five restaurants in the Freehold, N.J., area. She sold the last of those a year ago.
