He said multi at large bids. Oh wow 3 vs 2…so bad of a conference so glad this poser came back after 6 years of non posting to save us all from what he perceives to be misinformation. |

Well, looks like ISU will be losing a few players. So ISU lets her out of her contract, congratulates her in social media; and she has the gumption to take players from the school with her? Such a bitter take. The simple reality is players do not commit to a school, they commit to a program. If a coach leaves, why should the player be forced to stay? I work in academia and I followed my boss to another university. My program left when he did so there was no reason to stay. Why should athletics be any different? I do wish George would have made her decision sooner before the coaching carousel had largely stopped and many portal transfers had already found new homes. It handcuffs Leah in keeping/finding new players, a problem magnified at ISU. (Still annoyed with Dantonio waiting until he hit a contract escalator before retiring leading to a scramble to find a new coach. Surely he could have negotiated an earlier exit) |

Still feeling those "different standards" vibe. Idk. At the majority of schools now, athletes cannot have their scholarships pulled for athletic reasons. I think that being true changes the equation. Just like there are certainly different buyout situations for a coach who has 4 years left on their contract. You can say they deserve it, but a guarantee to not lose their scholarship at the current school AND the ability to find a new school with no penalty is a pretty powerful position. |

A very powerful position. Leah will definitely have to use the transfer portal but she will have to find players that are Big Ten quality. I would be a little bit afraid to transfer there from say ISU…you might be just filling avoid at this time and moment. |

ISU has beaten Big Ten teams in the past, so it isn't some huge talent level gulf between the two conferences. |

Well this year there is a talent drop off- 19-14 record- needed the upset in conference tourney to make ncaa’s: Yes there are players at schools not in big ten can play in big ten: but biggest adjustment for Leah isn’t getting kids to say yes to MSU because more kids will say yes to MSU then would say yes to her at ISU : the real issue for her; will be can she say “NO” to kids who cant play night in and night out in the big 10. |

ISU has beaten Big Ten teams in the past, so it isn't some huge talent level gulf between the two conferences. The difference isn’t in fielding a team that can shock a B1G team once. A team that has momentum and confidence can show out and beat a really good opponent once. When you throw that same team in a 20-match B1G frenzy where momentum is hard to come by and confidence is tested nightly, it’s a whole different ballgame. |

It is a huge gulf…an ocean of difference between the talent of the players in the Valley or at ISU and the top 8 teams in the B1G. . . Coaches have to do what they have to do when they take over a program, but filling a B1G roster with ISU or Tulane players may not be the way to go if you want to be competitive. . . We’ll see how it goes… |

and just how many "Big Ten level talent" players are sitting around unsigned in mid-February for a coach new to the P5 level to scoop up?

But that raises the question of whether she is capable of "coaching up" talent to be competitive in the Big 10. That's not a certainty by any means as yet. |

Is it certain that Tyler Hildebrand will be a good head coach either? |
