the NCAA is toothless so we just need to play the game as if there are no rules.  which there aren't.  we'd be stupid not to.

the only possible downside to breaking any rules is not being permitted to play in the tournament.  If they did that to Tech, after spending all the money, schools might think twice.  barring that, who cares about a "reduction" in scholarships or anything of the sort.  essentially, scholarships don't really exist anymore.

I'm impressed with how quickly Tech has moved from the ranks of forgettable also-rans to Public Enemy #1. Not quite the same as Jimbo's 2022 auction haul, but some parallels. Back then we had Saban to serve notice, but will anyone other than Weekly do it this time? As noted, Tech's moves aren't illegal per se, just unsavory. A large-scale boycott of scheduling the tortilla tramps seems in order.

So they’ll just play midwestern st, acu, tarleton, and similar and put up ridiculously gaudy numbers the first month.  How does that hurt them?

Not saying it would. For all I know, they aren't looking to play anyone decent before the B12 starts anyway. But maybe it would send some useful message within the greater softball community. Whether or not the donors or administration care is another matter.

I’d argue facing top teams early helps teams that are championship caliber. You don’t think we drew on our 2-1 (9) win over Tech and Canady to help grind out game 1?

Article about Teagan:

Kavan said she’ll spend the summer doing all kinds of work for the agency. She’ll also be attending a USA Camp at the end of June and will play in an international tournament in Canada. But the highlight of the year likely already came, with Kavan and her Texas teammates hoisting the championship trophy.

“A lot of celebrations with our fans and with my family of course,” she said. “But it's been wild.”
