Most men notice the cheerleaders on the sidelines when they search for eye candy watching a college basketball game. The women who game also provide some nice looks as well. These women range from coaches to superstars, and from starters to players that hardly get any run.
A few of the teams have players that could moonlight as models. Nebraska, Bowling Green, Michigan State, and Florida State are all extremely attractive teams. The Seminoles have a website devoted to the team in evening gowns (http://www.seminolehoops.com/team1.shtml) and other photos. The Falcons have classy shots of the team in dresses on their site and a blog devoted to the team (http://togetherweattack.blogspot.com/).
All of these women prove you can be attractive and still have game.
