Tori Edwards has entered the transfer portal according to her X account.

Until they met up with "the best ncaa softball team money can buy"


The Matador Club (Texas Tech's NIL collective) has taken this to a whole new level, investing millions of dollars in a non-revenue sport. On the bright side, they only have so many roster spots to fill with an unlimited checkbook.

With over 1,600 softball players entering the portal and only about 58% landing somewhere new, there’s a growing middle class of athletes discovering that the market isn’t always as life-changing as social media makes it seem. Some players cash in with NIL opportunities and bigger programs, but many others end up without a roster spot at all.

At the same time, coaches are treating roster management more like professional front offices with evaluating, filling needs, and rebuilding an entire team from year to year. Here today, gone tomorrow.

NIL has changed the landscape of softball, not all for the better.

In an interview with The Louisiana Illuminator on Wednesday Rousse said that his comments about removing Ausberry’s interim tag may have been premature. “I can’t make a very good decision after being on the job for eight hours,” Rousse said. “I don’t know what permanent means versus removing the interim.”
I have only been on the job for 8 hours, you can not expect me to make good decisions.
Any discussion on the Tiger Draft?
Carr is lucky he has guaranteed money, he would take a pay cut if he only got paid for games he played this year. But at $30M he is low in QB salary among other starters with new contracts.

If true, not surprised Loomis will micromanage new coaching hire and not rebuild the team.

Jets and Saints both near or the bottom of the NFL coaching openings. Interesting how teams are saying they are not firing their GM and Head Coach, new one on me.
With pick 1.1 Clams select Anthony Edwards - MIN
I will give it a shot, if you guys have still have a spot open.
It would have been a great season for the Saints to be on. Especially being in California and not fans not attending training camp.
In case you missed this it was covered in this article: Saints’ explanations for lack of fans at California practices don’t add up

It seems that you would want support from the fans. Especially with the win total between 7-8 in most places. Not much positive news coming out of training camp.

Looks like a long season ahead for Loomis and Allen.
