Is women's college basketball so deep that just making the tournament is a big deal? The season record sort of fell off a cliff.

If Dolson has some great chops he should be able to raise the NIL they need?

It fell off of a cliff last year.  That's one year.  Not 'a couple years', as he stated. They were a 9-seed.  Beat the 8-seed.  Lost to the defending champ/national runner-up in close fashion to end 2025.  They were far from mediocre.  Were they as good as they had been the 2-3 years prior? No.  Did they lose their two best players in the history of the program during that span? Yes.  And do they have a top ten recruiting class this year?  Yes, they do.

This makes me sick to my stomach.  I hope it absolutely blows up in their faces. 3x-4x increases in prices, plus forced gifts and licensing fees.

Sporting events are becoming a rich mans game if you want to attend either that or you go into debt to see games. What does it cost to see an nfl game like 300 a game for crap seats now? Pretty much why I rarely attend events live anymore I just watch on tv.

With Rev share being such a big thing, I assume an AD has to figure out how to maximize every opportunity to make $$.  The other option is cutting non-revenue programs.  Probably only gets worse from here.
