Maybe someone else more versed can chime in on how the Tuohy deal differed from a typical pro contract. IIRC, she wasn’t beholden to typical pay-for-performance stipulations (or other). (Sorry, too busy right now to investigate.)

If Valby doesn’t follow Solinsky, I think OK State would make sense.
Natalie Cook and Valby training together as low mileage runners.

There's a difference between low mileage and injured cross training half of the week. They likely wouldn't be training together.

They both do a lot of elliptical training. So if you consider 2 people using elliptical machines side by side as training partners, then yes they would be training partners.

I know that Cook and Valby communicate regarding their training so if they aren't friends by now they are at the very least acquaintances.
And the OK State coach is a good coach and a nice guy. I happened to run into him a week ago and he was very pleasant to talk to.
If Valby isn't in the portal then the OK State coach can't reach out to her, but Natalie Cook can.

Perhaps this is the start of the BTC rebuild?
Maybe Valby signs nil deal with Nike as part of this?
If Valby is smart that's exactly what she would push for. "I'll transfer to Oregon only if I get a NIL deal like Touhy just got."
And I bet Nike would give it to her.
Sadly, Nike does not have a NIL program like Adidas.

But many college football teams are sponsored by Nike, and NIL is all over the place in college football. How is it possible that Nike doesn't do NIL?

Hmmm, Nike NIL deal with HS kids:There were have been rumors on this board over the years about Nike’s low-balling. I wonder how long PV has been made aware of this potential Coach move.
Who knows? Maybe she will stay in FL for now, and maybe entertain other offers later.

If Valby is just finding out Christmas week that her coach is leaving, that's a lot to think about between now and when the semester starts about where to transfer.
In that case she might stay at Florida until June just because she wants more time to make the correct decision.
It's also possible that Solinsky had already worked out a deal with Oregon well before the job opening was publically announced, so it's possible that Valby has known for a while.

Funny you say that because Brosnan is working like crazy right now to get transfers. Don't think he'll get Valby but I would love to see everyone's reaction if that happened.

So is he officially going to Oregon or not!??

If Brosnan can get a Big Bear training camp for UCLA distance athletes, where the athletes would live and take online classes, then Valby should definitely take that into consideration. 😁

Solinsky needs the attention he will only get in Oregon. I knew he would make his way back.

Give up already on your rediculous idea that Brosnan will move his entire team away from UCLA for a semester and stick them up in the mountains.
Aren't you aware that some majors have classes that must be done in person? The runners are in fact STUDENT athletes who have a lot of other things they are doing on campus besides running.
UCLA simply wouldn't allow a move to a mountain camp.

Patience, patience…the landscape is changing. A lot can happen by LA ‘28.

You're all wrong. It's going to be Jerry's right-hand man & Bowerman assistant, Pascal Dobert.

I don't really think he would take a pay cut but based on the fact that he didn't respond to my daughter, it seems likely that he is leaving. That is unless he is a terrible recruiter.
