My wife asked me about that earlier... I was trying to explain these "circumstances"...I must have done a crappy job.
I’m so proud of the MSU softball program. It truly is, in my view, the only team worth pulling for at MSU. As amazing as the run was… we are not close to these teams in terms of talent level. If we played Oklahoma 50 times we would be lucky to win 5 of those.
That's different. I've got no problem with players transferring TO Mississippi State. And no, I don't apologize for the double standard.
How many just P4 All Americans did baseball bring in? And how many didn't come with the coach from his previous school? Big difference here because nobody is talking Juco and lower level players, we're talking top shelf players from P4 schools.
-Did you notice that I said in the original post, "our situation did involve a NEW COACH"?
My question would be how many of those 8 came from other P4 conference teams? Pilfering from other teams already playing at the same level to me is a bigger deal than players than come from smaller conferences or other divisions. Those players are always looking for a chance to prove themselves at a higher level so nothing wrong with that even if they are getting some NIL. I guess I have a much more negative feeling about players already playing at the highest level but just jumping from one school to the other.
And this will continue until some type of salary cap is put on each school's "NIL". How much would TT spend on women's softball players if they knew it meant less money could be spent on football players? Its all about who has the billionaires that are interested in sports when there is no limit on pay for play.
