Agreement in Principle, but details to be worked out.

Even if there is a verbal commit, would all the paperwork need to be done before an announcement is made? I don't know the process.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. Courage to change the things I can. And wisdom to know the difference.

100% agreement!

If memory serves me correctly, Gov Jesse Ventura proposed the following: 1. Four years pay-to-play. No classroom, only playing sports preparing them for professional sports. 2. If the athlete wasn't good enough to turn pro, then Plan B. Universities should then offer scholarships. He had many...

If I am a player on a team and a portal kid comes in and makes $1.5mil... I'm giving them the ball... tell to play all the positions... go sit on the bench, collect my $50000 in NIL and watch her play. Heck, I might even tell her to 'spin her head'!

Nice plan!!!

I also like 2 years of eligibility allowing Kuot to develop. Zoey getting minutes similar to Tonga.

Not either/or, but both/and...

Agree about different time/era. What I could track about Grace with AI: 1. Oral commitment to Arizona St. Withdrew the commitment when coach retired. Never enrolled. 2. Coach O had briefly recruited her while at South Dakota. 3. Signed NLI at West Virginia when Coach P was there, but never...

Grace followed Coach P... no idea about $$$ following.

"Make hay while the sun shines." The weather always changes...

...and one from Minnesota, I guess two if Bershers is counted. Again, Minnesota is below average... unlike the children from Lake Wobegon.

... and so it begins.

It was our undeserving NET, not the AP or Coaches poll that got us into the Top 16 in the NCAA and deserving of a 4 seed and hosting. OSU, Michigan, UCLA, and Michigan also hosted... only UCLA, Michigan and Minnesota advanced... we deserved everything we got... so did OSU and Iowa. Could we...

Yes, way-too-early. But... I remember last year being at 15 and then quickly fading to 'Others receiving votes' and then nothing. Don't think 2026-2027 will be like that. Starting way-too-early at #19 is close to hosting again.

I believe it has a lot to do with legacy and brand recognition... Iowa, OSU, and Maryland all have it. Look at Maryland during Selection Sunday with all the trophies lined up in front... Brenda has always been good at marketing Maryland. Lisa Bluder established Iowa as a powerhouse in Women's...

Whether it's 5 or 2 in 2500 is statistically insignificant. IMO, what is important and significant is the ability of Coach P and her staff to retain players. Players that value team and culture over perhaps more $$.

Suggestion? Replacing Ode I would guess. Create a roster.

I posted as a point-of-discussion... what would be your lineup?
