Washington Post - Mulkey rant

quote:

“The answer is this: The season will continue on. It’s called the almighty dollar,” Mulkey said after her team’s 75-71 loss to Iowa State in Waco, Texas. “The NCAA has to have the almighty dollar from the men’s tournament. The almighty dollar is more important than the health and welfare of me, the players or anybody else.

I’m sure she was ready to forego her salary and see her athletics department get gutted.

Is she being forced to coach with her life at stake?

Why doesn't she forfeit her salary for the year then and get her players to sit out?

Stupid bitch

1. Of course the NCAA prioritizes money

2. In our world, everyone should

3. Kind people should be able to prioritize human health and happiness over their ridiculous profits

4. Democrats like shel and Dawg will be the end of us

She's protected by the titles.

Which makes her whines even more pathetic. Other sports were cancelled, especially male sports, and she is still able to cash a nice pay check, and lose to ISU, LOL

she doesn't make the ncaa or Baylor money so why does she thinks she has authority over this matter?

Like I said in the last thread, players are at virtually 0 risk to Covid.

She is right that the NCAA cares more about getting as much money as possible than the wellbeing of the players. I would not focus my argument on coronavirus though since a lot of NCAA teams have been playing and nobody has died from it. I would talk more about how the NCAA and the schools set up players to fail after college with joke classes and no chance to make NIL money

Uhhhmmm, almost all schools lose MILLIONS on women’s basketball. I can’t imagine that the NCAA makes any money off of women’s basketball. It’s a loser. Yet they want to try to act like women's sports have any fricking relevance. Basically, every woman’s college team in every f*cking sport is a complete fricking joke.

Congrats mulkey
Football players and basketball players are sacrificing their health for your ridiculous salary
Stay home and donate your salary to the men’s sports players that allow you to make that much money

That statement comes off as selfish and not very educated.

The NCAA wouldn't sponsor women's sports if they placed all emphasis on the "almighty dollar"

Funny how these kind of statements always come after a loss.
