Does anyone know if Tali Hakas, has arrived in Hawaii yet? If not, that is 1 week of two-a-days missed. Valuable practice time missed. Only two weeks of practice time left. Expect the Wahine go another week of two-a-days, then one practice a day, the last week, prior to the start of the season.

Wahine fans need to start going to church on Sunday's and pray that the injury bug does not hit this Wahine Team. Cause if it does, it will become a disaster really, really fast. The only ones to blame are Robyn and her staff if this were to occur.

One thing I am very sure of, Robyn will not do what Charlie Wade has done to make a Hawaii Volleyball Team better. For one thing, Robyn and staff are to lazy to do so, and another, Robyn and staff are okay with the Volleyball Team just being average, at best.

Thanks for doing a bit of math, always appreciate that. As for a $50 million budget, I wasn't sure if it had gotten there yet, but assumed with inflation it was getting close. When I was doing a little research on where the UH Manoa budget was in comparison to other FBS schools, it wasn't a fair fight with the Tier-1 group. The top of Tier-1 have been north of $200 million/year for a while. I assume they'll be knocking down the $250 million mark soon. Filling out the Tier-1 are schools spending north of $100 million/year, about 60 altogether. Assuming all football programs consume about a quarter of their athletic budget as does UH Manoa, the Tier-1 range of football programs expend from around $25 to $50 million/year on their football programs. About 2x - 4x times UH Manoa per year. And I'd guess an outlier at the top expending close to 5x. We see that UH Manoa is already priced out of recruiting five and four star athletes, and they get maybe a dozen three stars in a good recruiting year. Do the consideration projections, and UH Manoa won't compete with Tier-1 FBS except by the luckiest of accidental years. Their monetary harmonic will put them somewhere near the middle of the bottom 74 of the 134 D1 FBS — about #97 of 134. So is that good enough for fanbase expectations? Will that level be enough to keep the fans and media happy, will it keep a new stadium afloat, will it support excess cash flow to fund the other UH Manoa sports programs and the Title IX burdens that football brings? My hope is that it does, but hope isn't a plan. It will be interesting to see what Angelos comes up with, and what actually unfolds. And where ultimately volleyball falls in priority — Promoted, or Relegated? All fair points. I'm hopeful that competing in a conference of peers with which UH has shared history and having some success there will be enough to sustain fan and media interest in UH football. Moreover the MWC has a reasonable chance going forward of securing its 2023 status as the top non-power college football conference, and even though that won't spare the MWC from falling ever-further behind the power conferences, having a path into the College Football Playoff will at least give its members something more exciting to compete for than a second-tier bowl berth against a mediocre power conference team. We shall see. Also just for reference, here's a link to a list of the 232 public D1 athletic programs ranked by revenue in 2022-23 (the most recent period for which data is available): sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/financesOhio State was first with over $251 million in revenue, the University of New Orleans was last with under $3 million, and UH was 70th with $49 million. I figure that with inflation it's fairly safe to assume UH's 2023-24 figure will exceed $50 million. For info, if you drill down on the schools and Methodology in the USA Today link, the latest figures shown are for FY 2021-22 , not FY 2022- 2023

Robyn Ah Mow Head Coach robynma@hawaii.edu Kaleo Baxter Associate Coach gkbaxter@hawaii.edu Nick Castello Assistant Coach ncastell@hawaii.edu Well, for one thing, go on recruiting trips, instead of just putting their feet up on their desk, or just coaching club volleyball, hoping a player would come calling. From what I understand, the last time Robyn went on a recruiting trip was when Coach Ang was her assistant coach. Could be the main reason Coach Ang left, cause Robyn never ever wanted to go on Recruiting trips. You think Head Coach Charlie Wade could have gotten the players he did, if he just stayed in Hawaii, and never went on recruiting trips.

If the Wahine Team can enter BWC play at 2-8, I would call it a win for the Wahine Team. Cause I am expecting a record much worse.

Are you dumb, or do you not understand that every club tournament weekend is a recruiting trip? Only thing is that the club Robyn coaches for will foot the bill. Opens up the possibility to send Kaleo elsewhere within the budget allotted from the University. Like you keep squawking about Robyn coaching club and I am shocked, but not surprised that this obvious realization hasn’t occurred to you yet.
