I don't know for sure, but logically it does not take a giant budget to bring in say three ringers. Suddenly you have a top ten team when combined with some decent traditional recruiting to fill out your roster.

Details on Brantmeier's court win versus the NCAA:
The NCAA will pay her 10K, plus her portion of the class action, plus cover attourney's fees, plus she can apply for the prize money she had to forfeit in the past (likely well over $100K in total.)

This lawsuit will likely place tons more college-age pro tennis players into the NCAA as they no longer have to forfeit prize winnings.

NCAA agrees to change prize money rules, pay $2M settlement in case brought by UNC tennis star
North Carolina women’s tennis star Reese Brantmeier was one of two named plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit against the NCAA in a case that challenged the organization’s rules about accepting prize money.

It is a class action lawsuit so there is a decent chance Scotty is in the class
Brantmeier is not playing to her potential today. Her serve looks good, but most every return and rally are weak, centered shots just waiting for her 9.49 UTR opponent to make a mistake. Similar issues in her doubles match. Hope she heats up soon.
down 1-2 on serve in set 1, but when receiving she did not make a single winning shot: 2-8 on points and both points were unforced errors.

Brian did podcast with cracked racquets.
He gets 10 scholarships.
Wife prefers Americans as does he.
Does not have the same mindset about recruiting as the rest.
Anna Frey has been impressive more than he thought
Wonders what is going on with the rest of American players that he doesn't have room for
Reese is apparently the smartest player off the court

Really looking forward to tomorrow's match, hope lots of folks are there
One quick complaint. It's pretty remarkable that in this era of a lot of schools evaluating the feasibility of their tennis programs that the NCAA forces regionals to be Friday/Saturday and that so many of the Super Regionals are on a Friday before people's workdays are finished. Just a complete own goal that prevents folks from attending some of the most fun matches of the year.
Yeah, it would be understandable if this is what it took to get a slot on ESPNU or something, but it is not even on streaming; in almost all cases it is just court cams and maybe some round-robin from Gruskin who does not care when the hours of operation are.
In that scenario, make it best for attendees.

Reece has been missing corners on kill shots for a couple of weeks now. In a mini slump.
with that said her opponent is pretty great herself.
