Recruiting hasn't been the issue and they landed arguably the 2 hottest candidates in coaching for football and basketball. They are also building a new 200 million dollar facility. The issue was they had an administration that sucked ass. Conferences dont mean much if the folks running the show are ignorant.

They need to, if anything, dump a few of the nonrevenue sports, as those become even bigger money drains due to travel. They need to whack Men’s Golf and swimming and diving, and whack as many women’s sports as that let’s you whack.

I’d honestly try to be as terrible as possible at women’s basketball, because its a huge expense and the better you are, the more it costs you. Also... it’s a terrible sport.

I don’t think the road to being truly elite was any different in the Big 12. DeArmond did a nice breakdown the other day of college football programs. Pretty goddamn hard to ascend to the elite level of programs from outside the bubble and stay there. Especially without huge talent pools available nearby.

The common factors for the programs that HAVE raised their bar are 1) patience with a coach; 2) that coach building a strong system and way of doing things; 3) financial commitment

My JV basketball coach in high school once told us that there are only two things that should be done in the dark, and women’s basketball is the other one. 😂

I’ve tried. Many times. I just can’t.

And I like lots of other women’s sports. Volleyball. Soccer and softball and watchable. Gymnastics is amazing.

Chick ball is the worst. And their fan base is even worst than they are.

I remember laying on the living room floor with my Dad listening to them lose on the radio. Ah, memories.
