I think the question is, given that Liz Kritza, Beth Luniere, Christy Johnson Lynch and Mary Wise had to build bad programs into good ones, when will a top 25 program be handed to a female coach?
As they said about black quarterbacks, Randall Cunningham and Warren Moon didn't prove quarterback equality... its easy to take a chance when you aren't taking a chance. The measure of equality comes when Akili Smith, Geno Smith and other terrible quarterbacks of a minority race are given opportunities. Lets see more than a handfull of women crash and burn like Lee Maes, or struggle for a decade like Terry Liskeyvitch. When that happens we can start to a case for equality.

Who would be the top women candidates for a Top 25 job? Salima, Corlett, Johnson-Lynch... are opportunities not getting "handed" to them or are they not taking them? Tui at UW? As they said about black quarterbacks, Randall Cunningham and Warren Moon didn't prove quarterback equality... its easy to take a chance when you aren't taking a chance. The measure of equality comes when Akili Smith, Geno Smith and other terrible quarterbacks of a minority race are given opportunities.

Are you saying women aren't getting opportunities like Virginia and Oregon St.? They most certainly are.

This hire is very accurate to the situation at Blinn. Take the knowledge of two coaches in the same area leaving top programs and put it with this hire. That's really good math. Only top coach left standing in that region is the AD at their school. Did anyone hear anything about Blinn making some changes that might change their ability to be competitive in the near future? Like the program turning JUCO D2? I am not meaning to start rumors, but I heard something very faintly and with Erin leaving, then this hire it all starts to fit a little more. I have a hard time believing she won back to back national championships and decides to call it quits. I would speculate that Mader got an assist from a former coach. Still, I don't agree with 1wvb that this hire "fits." Three national championships in four years? Pratt hasn't been out of the region tournament since god knows when and they take a coach that is 29-34? Nope. I am not saying that Kalie isn't a good coach, but she hasn't proven herself to be worthy of this role without some change coming to Blinn's infrastructure or resources. With that said, I wish her the best of luck and hope Blinn give her a chance to grow. Pratt is definitely not Blinn.

Lets see more than a handfull of women crash and burn like Lee Maes, or struggle for a decade like Terry Liskeyvitch. When that happens we can start to a case for equality. You're on the right track with Akili and Geno. There have been ten QB's in NFL history with a Smith surname. See the data below. Akili Smith (1999-2002) 2,212 yards, 5 TD, 13 INT, 52.8 rating Alex Smith (2005-present) 20,858 yards, 122 TD, 76 INT, 82.8 rating Geno Smith (2013-present) 5,571 yards, 25 TD, 34 INT, 71.5 rating Jeff Smith (2007) No stats Kent Smith (2006) No stats Milt Smith (1945) No stats Paul Smith (2008-2009) No stats Ron Smith (1965-1966) 1,249 yards, 8 TD, 12 INT, 54.3 rating Rusty Smith (2010-2013) 234 yards, 0 TD, 4 INT, 29.3 rating Troy Smith (2007-2010) 1,734 yards, 8 TD, 5 INT, 78.5 rating Clearly, no one should ever draft a QB with the last name Smith. For those counting, the 10 Smith's are only surpassed by the 11 Johnson's. www.nfl.com/players/search?category=position&playerType=historical&conference=ALL&d-447263-p=7&filter=quarterback

Due to what you said, most coaches stayed away from the job. I know of several coaches who sought the job and after initial contact removed themselves. Kalie was willing to take the risk and for other things you said you cannot blame her. TX 2-years are getting pinched by the state financially and some changes are coming.

Yeah sorry 1wvb, I didn't mean to be combative. I meant it doesn't fit unless something is changing as opposed to it fits because they are Blinn and this was the best choice. If changes are coming, then it does make sense they make this hire. Thanks for clarifying.

It's everywhere. Depending on the school--it could be travel money, money for housing (or books), gear, etc. And also to be fair--it's not a volleyball thing...cuts are hitting across sports and elsewhere, there are two-year schools suspending sports teams. I know a couple in the Midwest who have debated dropping to NJCAA D-III to eliminate all scholarship money given out (which is silly to me since that's only theoretical money anyways...)

Their inaugural volleyball year in 2014 was their only volleyball year. I hear their remaining two programs, softball and men's basketball, are next.

I know a couple in the Midwest who have debated dropping to NJCAA D-III to eliminate all scholarship money given out (which is silly to me since that's only theoretical money anyways...) I agree with you on the theoretical money. But schools have this thing called "discount rate". This applies to all forms of aid that discount the dollars coming in. Like an airline needs to make a certain amount per seat on a plane, colleges measure their profitability and revenue against their discount rate. If too much academic and/or athletic aid is given versus the hard dollars coming in, a school becomes unable to afford its expenditures. So each school knows the maximum discount rate that they can afford before it affects the school and covering it's operational expenses. Schools with large endowments can afford higher discount rates and therefore more aid(academic or athletic). That concludes our lesson in Higher Education Finances (FIN 425). We will have a pop quiz next class, and don't forget to keep working on your group project. First draft due in a week.
