I get the minutes they get to play, but now the "top dog" at Iowa State has entered the portal. I don't follow Iowa or Iowa State, but these defections have made a lot of news - and my understanding is that Addy had tons of playing time, so it has to be more than just that, I would think.

I'm ...

I know we are all less than thrilled with the transfer portal and NIL in sports, but what is going on with Iowa and Iowa State? Particularly in women's basketball - several players hitting the portal (and I figured these would be schools with bigger budgets than most). Are coaches leaving, do the ...

Raegan cant figure out what she wants to do stay, transfer? I guess if she thinks going bigger is better do that. Last time she looked at Ok St and Wisconsin. Wisconsin is a weak team in the Big Ten. Don't like players transferring so easily think it hurts the game. How about one transfer and ...

Glad they got a chance to play in front of ...

Also i remember a post game show where Coach explained how Ryan Myers got poached from us by Western Kentucky because we couldn’t offer what they could..so obviously some people can pay and some can’t..(yes I know that’s a whole different conference)..just another excuse on my part I guess ...

I'm not a coach, never was one, but I have to wonder how much of Western's struggle has been because of the coach or because of the NIL, transfer portal, and all the junk that wasn't necessary to be dealt with back in the day. As long as "we" have to rebuild teams every year due to no ...
