    In a few years it may be different but they were weathering the storm pretty darn well if you ask me.

    More NIL deals being the driving factor to leave for a losing program seems insane.
    I have already posted this, but it bears repeating. Texas Tech has the # 2 recruiting class in the country coming in this fall. They lost only 1 of 8 recruits with the coaching change. Glasco has, at a minimum, $10,000 per player in NIL [with more promised] to throw at recruits and transfers from the portal. He will quickly fill the roster with very good players. Texas and Oklahoma are no longer in the Big XII, giving Tech a window to rise in the conference standings in what will still be the # 2 Softball conference in the country. Within 2 years, Texas Tech will be at or near the top of the Big XII softball standings.

    I am in no way defending Glasco's leaving without notifying his players in advance, if that happened, but he did not leave here for a program that will be a loser after he arrives.

    Checks notes the supreme court itself's pay is limited. ......Scratching my head


    “The job is not worth doing for what they pay,” Thomas would say at a speech the next year, and he pressed repeatedly to lift the ban, imposed in 1989, on justices’ accepting honoraria for speeches.
    The chief justice is earning $298,500 this year, associate justices $285,400. Federal appeals court judges make $246,600.
    Consider that young lawyers fresh off a Supreme Court clerkship can join big law firms and pocket signing bonuses approaching $500,000 — that on top of salaries around $300,000. That doesn’t include year-end bonuses

    I get it now. Yes.

    Like others have said. More to the story.

    I didnt say it was empty, but our actual attendance numbers were nowhere close to reported attendance this year -- in either diamond sport.

    I don't know a single person or family our age that bought season tickets for diamond sports. Everyone who went to games did so because they got tickets from their boss or a family member.

    UL's fanbase is shrinking -- even in the sports once thought to be immune from it -- and because of it the pool of money available to keep us competitive is shrinking as well. On the other hand Texas Tech is exploding

    actual butts in the seats at Russo has pretty much been like Jax has described since Russo opened except for games like the last series this year and LSU where it is better but not nearly as announced even for those games

    The two founders and co-CEOs of Double Eagle are Tech grads, with one of them, Cody Campbell (Cody Campbell Field) having played football there. Either his wife or a daughter played softball at Tech.

    Hence the desire to want to pump some money into the Tech softball program after he’s already put a ton into football.

    Must be nice to receive them oilfield donations!

    that is what you call a money tree

    we don’t have a money tree

    without a money tree it is almost impossible to compete with those that have a money tree now thst there is free transfer without sitting and NIL

    face it, the barriers which existed with one year sit out rules and under the table payments have been removed

    even those barriers allowed us to compete in the diamond sports and at least in football with players that needed development at least until they developed before they are poached

    now they are just taken immediately upon showing talent

    Good but someone new will always be in the process of joining the bench. The more they poach the more the graveyard grows.

    There is a development opportunity in there for the ransacked to find some mighty fine talent.

    Double Eagle is an E&P company that has made out well in the Permian Basin.

    DoubleEagleDevelopment.com

    I have no clue what your ACE question is about or where that comes from.
