I think the bigger news is Hailey Van Lith entering the portal. does she go to Stanford since they need a new scoring point guard now that Haley Jones is gone? or maybe to LSU to replace Alexis Morris since she was recruited hard by Mulkey when she was coach at Baylor before she chose Louisville? or does she go back home to Washington? whoever gets her will definitely have their stock jump.

I don't usually watch basketball at all so asking about women's basketball is misleading. Serious free agency tends to ruin team attachment in my opinion. Baseball and football are well served by keeping a core for 4-5 years if not longer. But, anyway, I watch a lot of soccer, and women's soccer is very compelling. The European clubs in particular have done a great job of developing talent and putting a great product on the pitch. The women's game could be improved if the ball were smaller, but that's another issue.

HVL is graduating with a finance degree next month. So she might be looking for an MBA program. I know she is an excellent student, but Stanford Business School is very tough to get in. There is a reason Stanford has had so few transfers. (Jordan Hamilton transferred from Northwestern a few years ago.) Is there an easier graduate program at Stanford that she might be interested in?
I think it would be interesting if she ended up replacing Grace Berger at Indiana. They would be a contender. Imagine a Final Four featuring teams with Clark, Bueckers, Reese and HVL. That will blow away this year's tv ratings.
Enough people watch to justify an American NCAA Women's basketball game in Paris next year apparently. Talk about getting recognized everywhere. This surprises even me. Remind me how many college track meets they hold in Paris? And I assume most Parisians will be Notre Dame fans?

It is official. HVL is going to LSU. They are also one of the three finalists for Aneesah Morrow.

She should fit right into that hole Morris left. She really burns for a title clearly... It sure will be an interesting collection of personalities there but I guess if anyone can make that work its Mulkey. With Reese on the same team, NIL valuations for these two is going to be nuts.
Jenny Nguyen, founder of Portland, Oregon-based The Sports Bra, says she never wanted to start her own bar or restaurant. Here's what changed her mind.
Nebraska’s goal was to set the NCAA volleyball attendance record when it announced the “Volleyball Day in Nebraska” outdoor event at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln this summer, and they’ve sold nearly 83,000 tickets.
83,000 tickets sold to a women's volleyball game in 48 hours! For a game in August! That breaks the all time volleyball record by like 64,000!! They want to see if they can wedge in 10,000 more folks to break the all time womens sporting event record which they might be able to because they havent yet sold any of the field-level seating or indoor club seating.
Yet letsrun users, fingers in ears, will still make threads declaring no one cares about women's sports.
If I got stoopid drunk some night, then woke up the next day all zombied out and groggy, and I wanted to watch some basketball but the NBA version would be too faced-paced, compelling and exciting for my compromised central nervous system to process, I might watch women's basketball.
Yes, global soccer governing bodies are (finally) starting to realize they shouldn't be giving away streaming/sponsorship rights for pennies on the dollar given the ratings of women's games.
They got tired of being proven wrong here so they created a new safe thread where they could ask if toddlers could beat an WNBA team to avoid the facts here.

Just saw that. Absolutely hilarious. The "oh yeah? well we can beat them up!" response to undeniable female athletic success is so pathetic to watch. Do they also go to kids T Ball games and announce how terrible the players are because they are short and young and half a team of grown men could beat them easily? Maybe they will if those kids start making bank as well.
My guess is no! The stands are all empty. It’s comical. Yet espn wants to promote womens basketball to no end. Kinda sad. Women play inferior basketball to men and the games are boring
booooo
Yes. 9.9 million viewers for the NCAA title game. Any more sexist or stupid questions?
