It seemed like a good investment at the time, but it was still double what anybody else, including Tennessee, was offering. That said, I think Herstad would have been a lot better on a winning team, rather than on a South Carolina team that wasn’t going anywhere from the get-go.Obviously if she wants to win a championship, she won't stay at Stanford. WTBS, I would think going to Stanford would entail that she takes education quite seriously. She would be closer to home at OU, but then there's the question of atmosphere. Not everyone is cut out for OU. Just like with every other program, not everyone fits in there. But OU softball has a pretty specific vibe.
Whoever paid $125k for Vawter must have a ton of money to burn because that was a horrible investment.
It will be interesting to see how long Dawn Staley can keep Bev employed there. She vouched for her in the NIL space last year, and it got them nowhere. I don’t think her basketball donors are going to be willing to make that kind of deal again.
