Whose expectations have changed? Beth's, the fans? The expectations are changing because we had success and now if any volatility occurs we will burn it down?

We have based our programs on consistency like Pittsburg Steelers. Having consistent quality coaching and messaging is your best opportunity for consistent success. Iowa fires coaches at one of the lowest rates of any college.



The budget comes from ticket sales - $3.5 million is what Iowa did for wbb in 2023/2024. This is 2 million more than most schools By all accounts those numbers are slightly up. You then add in the revenue share component. The B1G gives out the highest amount of any conference. The hawkeyes are also one of the more popular teams due to Caitlin so they have had more donations and more money into the collective tagged for WBB.

So in the big picture Iowa WBB does have a financial tailwind that should allow it to continue to be competitive in recruiting top talent to Iowa, and filling in any holes in the portal. If my accountant math still works we were willing to give approximately 1 million to Bjorn, we were at about 1 million a year on Deal, 300k on Rodriguez. We have nearly $2.5 million in rough calculations to use in the portal or for recruits next year.

I understand that ticket sales do matter. My point was ( at least my understanding was) Iowa is allocating more rev share $$ to women's basketball then many of their peers. No doubt, trying to continue trying to push that ball up the hill from the CC22 years, and not let it roll back down. As for available $ I believe MW will be taking up pretty much all of what Deal was getting. The numbers being thrown around here were 8-900,000 I believe. I'd also imagine that Ava will be getting a significant bump, or at least you'd not be surprised to see that happen as well.

Year 3, btw, is gonna be the make or break year for Jan.

Remember, JuJu Watkins is returning next year and USC will become this year's UCLA in the Big Ten, so everyone will be playing for 2nd place again.

UCLA will have to replace a ton of their roster, and if Deal got paid to go there so she could have the 5 star glam and be a part of an actual winning team, then that's gonna put massive pressure on Jan and Iowa to win that matchup next year regardless of what the roster looks like.

She could have the remaining handful of players we do have and fill it out with 8 other women from the Iowa School for the Blind and she would still need to find a way to beat UCLA if Deal goes there, or she'll be (and by extension the Iowa women's basketball program, as well) in deep f***ing sh**.................

UCLA may be willing to pay $100k for Deal.

MW math is not baked into Deals. Those were all separate deals.

I understand that. My point being is we have valued women’s basketball as long as since I was in college with C Vivian. So while NIL has obviously changed the game for all sports we’ve always had a culture ahead of almost all Big Ten teams in women’s basketball.

Come on. By your Logic we never would have paid the Price to break the Law and steal everything in sight.

Well said. Its pretty hard to project next season, when you don't really know what your roster will look like, or how new players will mesh with the few you hold onto...

If they can hold on to their young core and pick up a quality piece or 2, Michigan looks to be very strong next year.

I was saying of the allotment for next season. So your saying besides the money saved from Deal, Erod etc.. there's still basically a million for MW and then a few million to go after OTHER portal players? And as I mentioned, I'd imagine whatever compensation Ava was getting has to be reworked, NO?

Addie is headed to South Carolina, didn’t expect that to be where she lands!

Where are you seeing that? Just googled it, and there's no mention of that. Says her most logical five are UCLA, USC, Stanford, Notre Dame, and Nebraska based on needs of their rosters and her being a Cali girl, but USC makes no Sense. Was something said about USC, as in Univ os Southern California, and you tool that as University of South Carolina?

Yes I do think some deals are being worked- chit chat and Ava. Even still I think they have a player budget per a year in the 5 million range and growing.

So what I find interesting is when we finish in 6th or 7th in football everyone applauds like we have slain Goliath because we are just little old Iowa. But you’re saying 2nd place for us should be an expectation in basketball?
