    IF men's BB and women's BB is going to

    For sure. My point was just that the success of women's basketball isn't doing anything with respect to "buying TnT more time." If anything, the success of men's basketball will put more pressure on TnT. Beth has shown that she can make a shrewd hire that will do well in year one. Of course...

    IF men's BB and women's BB is going to

    Women's basketball is still losing money each year. Definitely still need wrestling to be putting butts in seats.

    No offense is offensive

    I think it's the norm for college wrestling now. The days of guys like Tony Ramos that rack up 10+ takedowns per match is long gone. Everyone seems to be content to get the one shot that's going to win. Look at both sides of the Iowa - Penn State duel. For as much talk as there is about...

    Conditioning?

    Flu bug has been going through the room. Just about everyone looked completely gassed against Wisconsin. They had more stamina Friday night, but still weren't to 100%. They'll look less gassed next week.

    Our program

    Recruiting….

    10,000 fans are 10,000 fans. Carver is a great environment and the meet energy is a huge incentive for recruits.

    The NCAA has adopted a proposal to allow student-athletes & athletic department staff to bet on Pro Sports

    The Iowa wrestlers were betting on Iowa Women's Basketball in addition to pro sports, so they would still be breaking the rules under the new rule.

    Recruiting….

    Or perhaps with the word out that Iowa won't break rules, the rule breaking schools decided it wasn't worth taking on Bassett/Miller and facing more scrutiny. All of the sudden, Bassett/Miller find that their market isn't what they thought and settle for the "best of the rest." Just playing...

    Season tickets renewal time

    I'm not surprised. Season tickets have sold out multiple years in a row. Basic economics of supply and demand. Demand outstrips supply, so raise prices.
