Regional Glasco will always be Regional Glasco.

He did get to a super.

Did he talk to them before they were in the portal or not? Seems the ncaa reg was clear.

I cannot argue with any of this. I am a little disappointed in some of the girls, but it is certainly understandable to go after the money. As well as the girls who left here for Tech are doing, it is hard to believe that Canady doesn't get run support.

"Certainly understandable" only if they dont teach economics anymore...... lets say someone got a million, after taxes that is now below 700,000. Hopefully all of them plan on living 70 more years.... so now we are down to less than 10k a year. Then factor in inflation and todays 10k may be down to 5k or less by year 70. Seems focusing on a good degree and career prospects would lead to a much better situation..... And most arent getting a million....

So my question is are we inferring he did something wrong or unethical? This is college athletics 2025. I despise it, but it is reality.

Tell me you know nothing about softball without telling me you know nothing. Aly has been asked to bake a cake this season. But when Glasco left, the flour, the eggs, the milk and even the oven followed him over to Lubbock or left to go somewhere else. Aly is doing her best to bake the cake but it is hard to do not having the ingredients to do it. I do not want anyone to interpret this post as me throwing any shade on any of the young ladies on this years' roster. They compete on a daily basis and play their hearts out every game, but the reality is we just don't have the pitching depth or the power hitting that we have had in the past years. It's not Aly's fault nor is it any of the current players fault. NIL has absolutely ruined collegiate sports and in my opinion, you will never see UL be a consistent force on the national scene ever again. Because once a mid-major develops a player who becomes a force in the line-up, the P5 schools will take notice and come calling with an NIL offer that is too good for the player to pass up. I can't blame the player for leaving but its sucks for the UL's and Coach Aly's who suffer from not having the resources to retain the players that they developed.

No way you can judge Coach Habetz this year. Heck even next year is still a grace period in my estimation.

Economics 101: $700,000 invested in a very conservative stock fund would yield at a minimum 5% annually: That is $35,000 per yr without touching the principal. Alternatively, leaving the entire amount invested would give you [assuming age 20 when you got the after tax 700k] a bit over $3,000,000 at age 50. Assuming 3% inflation, that $3 mil would have a value equivalent to roughly $1.4 mil in 2025 dollars.

A. You think 5 percent rates will last
B. You think they will invest?
C. What do they do the first couple years after school, waiting for it to build, with their millionaire mindset

A. I have been averaging over 10% for 20 years. I think 5% is a very reasonable number.
B. The smart ones will invest most of it. The not-so-smart will blow it in year 1.
C. The smart ones will get a job and manage their windfall for retirement. The not-so-smart will have to get a job, since they blew their money when they got it.

True, yet UL can’t afford to stay irrelevant as this season has become. Otherwise, MH’s post quickly become the new reality, as noted below.
