I don't get the impression that many Texas fans pay attention to WBK, even if it were a successful program. 

The average home attendance at UT-Austin WBB was 3988.  Stanford's WBB home attendance has averaged 4250.
(I did my graduate work at UT in the 70s (and I was a WBB fan there) and came to Silicon Valley in the fall of '81.  Stanford was not such a great team and hardly anyone came to the games.  Fortunately, things changed.)
