I know there was talk on the thread earlier about NiJaree Canady. It was just announced yesterday she's going to Texas Tech for $1 million per year in NIL money. She has two years of eligibility. lol... one million dollars for a college player in a sport that brings in no revenue, has no upside in a professional capacity, and for a team that has never even made the college world series? Tell me you are setting money on fire without telling me you are setting money on fire. Rich people in Texas need to find better things to do with their money. Republicans want to complain about the price of oil and gas and for whatever reason blame Biden, meanwhile all these private companies and people with interest in them have so much money that they are literally giving it away to 20 year olds to play college sports. I mean softball has been gaining popularity television wise. But one million is extremely excessive lol

[Canady signed a one-year, $1,050,024 deal with Texas Tech’s collective Matador Club for signing with the Red Raiders, according to a person familiar with the deal.” hope she has fun in lubbock

People think that the NIL market will make sense at some point, but it’s never going to make sense. It’s just going to continue to show explosive growth. Until it collapses. Like the Amsterdam tulip market at the beginning of capitalist stock exchanges. Or housing debt in 2008. Or the dot com collapse. Or any other boom/bust cycle.
There’s no transparency. There’s no real profit/loss consideration. A lot of the value added is in terms of ego gratification and tribal affiliation. How do you put a value on that?

There's 2 players that will be on the roster but aren't on the website yet (Ramirez and Binney), so the roster is at 20. 5 graduate after this season and 5 new players are currently slated to come in, so 2025 is projected to still be 20. That could present a problem for Jerritt if the NCAA doesn't give a transition period to respect verbal commitments.What problem? He simply has to tell two walk-ons at the conclusion of the 2024-25 academic year that he has no choice but to adhere to the new roster limit of 18 players set by the NCAA, and they won't be allowed to remain with the program. And, he won't even have to do that if 2 players (regardess of their scholarship status) voluntarily decide to transfer. I think this is likely to occur come winter break. IF 2 players transfer, which is exactly why I said "could." And regardless of the fact someone's hands are tied, public perception of kicking committed players of a team simply isn't going to be positive, as illogical as it may be.

This isn't a "Texas rule" it is an NCAA rule which Texas and other programs must follow. This rule surfaced after the projected roster for 2025 was already in place.

those jerseys have already been wore for 3 seasons ('21, '22 & '23)...some of those jerseys look so rough with all the holes...i thought they usually change jerseys every 2 years...if they keep those old things it's for good luck to go back to back to back...i'm also excited about faucette johnson & buechler joining the staff

They hired her as a “consultant.” That doesn’t sound like a full time gig, I’m with you, though. So excited to see her as part of the staff regardless of her role.

They have been very lucky for our program. Much better than the 2017-19 jerseys.

Southern Cal's (new?) jerseys still look similar to ours. Their sleeveless version has the same wrist detail and front. There is a different trim on the sides which appears to be a Greek key. www.instagram.com/uscwomensvolley/

Looks like Madi's in Paris. No doubt to cheer her sister on, and possibly as a practice player for the WNT too
