I'd most men and woman don't watch it on the format it's on now, is the hope that if it's all centralized it would be seen more?

no one is going to watch, this has been proven over 25 years. I hope i'm wrong as I have a daughter, but no one comes out to support these girls on almost any level except the US women's soccer team. Their pro sports leagues might sell 1,000 tickets to a big game though and I've been to a few. The WNBA is the only study case you need

In general people don't go to games to support individual players. They go because they like to watch the game on the field/pitch/court/ice, and perhaps the atmosphere.

That's fair and true. There is no atmosphere at the games because no one goes and the overall talent level is obviously much lower. If you go to a high level girl's soccer game for 16-18 year olds there is a ton of talent and it is fun to watch. It's just not the same as the 16-18 year old boys playing. It's not their fault or anything, just is what it is
