Am sitting in an ER examination room, getting poked, prodded, x-rayed etc. With luck will go home, and not conveyed down to Portland for more serious fun and games.


Here’s a bunch of positive energy for the young ladies and
all you fans, including those with whom I have some friendly disagreements.

If the NCAA doesn’t slow down what is going on at LSU and Texas Tech then it doesn’t have much teeth to it. Not all teams will put their resources as heavily into some sports and it will show on the playing field/court.

Fromer USF university women's basketball coach Jose Fernandez and Fromer women's basketball president
Called for disclosure of revenue sharing and NIL support spend on players to be public.
I posted article a while back.
Some have called for a spending cap each sport at university

But players should to sign deals on there own popularity
Example LSU tigers gymnastics girl who getting nil money because her social media and popularity . Doubt LSU tigers had big money booster saying want to give her 4 million dollars because of Twitter Facebook.

Your going need Congress to pass something because anti trust laws. And Congress is the only legal Authority to do so.
Getting something though Congress and president signing the bill into law. Isn't a piece of cake.
in this polarized political divide

I don’t think they will be able to stop but I wasn’t talking about Livvy Dunne or other legitimate NIL deals. I was referring to what they are doing with Lane Kiffin and LSU football. Texas Tech has a billionaire booster that is trying to win a football national championship and a softball national championship.

Not sure why those football donations are less legit. Just because they're bigger and from billionaires doesn't make them illegal.

You think Livvy Dunn wasn't bought? By definition since they're now all being paid something, all players are bought. Football is just on a way bigger scale.

She could have gotten the same deal no matter what school she competed. Schools are still paying to play. The new ruling didn’t change anything. I think we are both on the same side.

True. Dunne's money didn't come from LSU (and she's still getting it - she's as much model as athlete, maybe more). And Arch Manning was the highest paid player on the Texas team without the money coming through the athletic department. We don't know what Olifiyah Edwards deal is with Adidas, but none of that came through or because of any university; it was a bet by Adidas on her future fame. It's a whole new world.

I think we're confusing revenue sharing with NIL again. Livvys primary source of income is NIL donors and deals outside the university . Exactly like the billionaires pumping NIL money into football.

Get what saying about Texas tech softball
LSU tigers football.
But if going to even playing field.
Probably going to have set rules more balanced competition among 64 NCAA field not just limit higher end booster/ business/ Universitys .
To get enough support in Congress for any manifold regulations .
To have the teeth your talking about.
Which I think would to fair playing field if the university's had about the same money to work with.

Billion dollars booster could buy some business and get athletes to promotion advertisement for that business and write it off as a business expenses on there Federal tax return.

Love the optimism but her stats don’t scream one or two wins better. Hope she does well though

A freshman who played meaningful minutes and performed well on a 22-10, 8-8 SEC team?

No, the stats don't scream 1-2 wins better, but they do suggest she has a nice starting point to build from.

If they could just control the transfer portal then at least the opportunity for outlandish $ deals would be limited.

That can't happen unless Congress acts. That would be like telling you you can't leave your employer for more money. There going have to make all these athletes employees with signed contracts.

I am recalibrating and now am very happy with all the signings. Kim is bringing in her type of players, which means they will accept being role players (whose role is to play as hard as they can for whatever time they are on the floor). So a player like Craft might have an occasional big game with say a double double in 30 minutes but will accept that one good game does not guarantee that she becomes a stater or gets a certain # of minutes in others. She is just another worker bee who had a good pollen collection day and then back to the hive mind.

Once you have that team culture established, it just follows that players will have unwavering belief that they can win any game on hustle points and that any loss will be due to a lack of sufficient effort on behalf of the queen bee.

I like that analogy. Fire ants comes to mind. Tennessee Worker Bees? Tennessee Fire Ants? I'm in for either.

Several universities said they front load signed players for Kim Caldwell first year season getting NL before the review board and house settlement. Some universities without boosters strong support now can spend revenue sharing if a University puts it in there revenue sharing plan to share a little of revenue sharing with women's basketball.

More women's basketball universities are at the auction site transfer portal even if there not a 5% + big boosters spending university which the majority isn't.
Even some of big boosters universities have to be more wiser with there dollars.
I say majority universities aren't sharing 5% women's basketball revenue sharing.
But 2/3 % revenue sharing women's basketball universities from the mid class spenders add up.
At least for everyone for isn't spending top dollars which is a smallest amount of universities that are spending highest percentage of women's basketball universities.
On signing/ paying for women's basketball players.

So, you get what you pay for? Well, sometimes. Sometimes not.
