i’d take rickea jackson, “some else’s castoff,” over anyone in women’s college basketball right now. you can successfully fill a team with portal pick ups. it’s part of the game now. ITS RECRUITING.

life after Rickea will be hard for some.

I understand Tennessee is coming off a disheartening loss, still yet Winner Circle should post the SEC Power Rankings ..

LOL never stop.

LSU game tonight should be interesting, I’m going to watch and see how they respond after their last loss. Not sure if MSU is up to it, but they have the pieces to make a game out of it if they play to their potential.

 

[Rooster1]

I’m guessing LSU by 14, but hoping MSU makes it a good contest.

Massey has it 77-70, Bayou Barbies.

Damn, LSU WBB lost 7.8 million dollars last year.

LSU athletics operated with a deficit last year

An audit of LSU’s Athletic Department found that the organization operated with a nearly $4 million deficit last year.

www.businessreport.com

The new TV contract will help WBB going fwd, it has more money, but it still bundles WBB with the other non revenue sports this go around and until they get their own deal like MBB where they can reap the rewards of their tourney and regular season TV viewership it will still be a struggle at most schools for WBB.

Which may actually work to the LVs advantage.

Mulkey makes around 3.2 million if I am not mistaken. Geno is second at 2.9m. Dawn is around 2.7m. That article said Mulkey and her staff made 4.4m, so her staff is earning around 1.2m I suppose, not sure how that compares with other programs, I don’t have any of those figures.

But that article also says LSU WBB had a little over 2m in revenues. That is just wrong. They won a NC and were part of a NC game (let alone all the other NCAA games) that had over 10 m viewers, imagine the ad revenue the TV providers made off of that game and the tourney in total with record breaking viewership. WBB needs its own NCAA/TV deal separate from other non revenue sports and one which rewards them for the growth in the sport, others are making $ off these ladies and the schools are footing the bill. MBB has its own deal, it’s time now for WBB to also.

No their deal should not be anywhere near the MBB deal, March madness for MBB trumps them by a large margin, but if the ladies were given their own separate deal commiserate with their own TV ratings, it would pay them what they are worth finally. And it would help Universities that place an emphasis on the sport. This last contract just signed helped a little, but until they unbundle WBB with the other non revenue sports it won’t make a big difference. It’s time. Just a few nights ago WBB outdrew the NBA for a weeknight telecast. Let that sink in.

Sounds about right…

Boom!

Who Is The Highest-Paid Women’s College Basketball Coach

Who Is the highest-paid women's college basketball coach? It is LSU's Kim Mulkey, who has won four national titles, including in 2023.

I sometimes get into it with the two Uconn posters on this site, @NeedOrange and @StorrsCentral , but tbh I have much respect for their coach, program and history. I think it is just sad that their school is not in a P5 conference for MBB or WBB, though I understand it’s all FB related. Their school just never figured out early enough that CFB drives revenue.

But like UT, Uconn is responsible for the game of WBB being where it is today and Uconn seems destined to never see the revenue from being in a true P5/P4 conference. It will erode their competitiveness over time as other schools bring in 30-40 million per year more than they can get. After Geno, Uconn may slide into mediocrity. A worthy NCAA TV deal for WBB would help this situation for schools like UConn that have done so much for the sport and continue to emphasize the game of WBB. Way past time to financially reward WBB teams that get to the tourney and draw viewership like they do in MBB. UT and Uconn still draw huge for TV ratings as they should. Now that the rest of the nation is catching up, the sport as a whole is stronger and more viable, it deserves its own TV contract.

I for one want a program like Uconn to always be at the forefront, they have earned it. Just don’t let them beat my Gamecocks

Before trying to be funny.. first make sense “still yet”

Disheartening? You sick in the head if you think a sport had me losing any sleep.
Spear proved my point. Twitter is in a frenzy. Tennessee dominated the portal. Spear comeback for Part 2? Talayasia Cooper 2024 get back? We up the scoe goofy!
Lets GBO

Get this through your head NVs, watching any sport win, lose, or draw is first a blessing and second recreation to me.

Sitting behind a keyboard thinking you and these group of lames posts on a forum actually carries weight is what I get a thrill out of… I’m one of one in real life.

WC, peace and love man. I know you love your team as we all do. I’m rooting for the game of WBB, it’s growing and hopefully those in charge will soon reward WBB programs financially that are making a commitment to the sport like they do in MBB.

No negative waves between us anymore man…(Oddball)(Kellie’s Heroes)….promise. “ Nobody said nothing bout locking horns with no Tigers man”.

Back to business MSU up by 2 points after 1st Quarter vs LSU..

 

[glv98]

Miss St gets out early, but starts missing shots. Then Carter gets a second foul on a terrible call, shown to be a nonfoul on replay and in the opinion of Carolyn Peck. Probably changes everything. Miss St still up by 2 end of first.

 

[creekdipper]

Yeah, that Carter bad call was huge.

 

[creekdipper]

Ugh. Refs really helping LSU.

No-call on Reese charge followed shortly thereafter with a touch foul called on a layup. Even the shooter looked shocked.

 

[djtee]

LSU Poa get's less the 2mins then Kim pulls her after she turns the ball over. LSU will only play 5 -6 players

 

[knoxvol52]

Auburn leading Georgia 23-14 midway thru 2nd quarter..

 

[Rooster1]

MSU is battling, not sure if they have enough, but effort is there.
