Pittsburgh i(19 wins) is basically the same as Minnesota. The home team beat the visitor. Neither are good and are at the bottom of their conference. North Dakota has 25 wins but SOS is in the 175-200 range. Basically weak team playing weak teams. The Gophers finally got the chance to play...
I think a coaching change is more likely than dropping the program. I do not think dropping Softball is an option due to title IX but the next few years will be wide with revenue sharing cutting into overall income. At some point the Big Ten will be forced into dictating which sports or a...

Scary thought. Could be Tuesday for many schools such as Minnesota and Wisconsin since Spring Semester starts then. Someone could enroll and play basketball or hockey immediately. I think there is a late fee to enroll once the semester starts but it is very small ($50?). Football would be...

I suspect football, basketball, hockey, and other major sports with NIL and potential payment issues will want to have a general manager to handle money issues.
I think it is two different issues for Nebraska and Wisconsin. For Nebraska it is likely more related to roster size and the 105 limit next year. I read the they had around 150 on their roster last year with a lot of walk-on players. Next year they can only have 105 total. The coach likely...
Perhaps related to wanting to get a degree from a top 10 University academically. I saw some reports she will need to sit out this year and will then still have two years eligibility left. Seems like something other than just softball.
Major plus that is not to Texas, Oklahoma, or a...
