I tend to disagree with @cmack but he has some valid points. A team gets better with better competition and not with warm fuzzy wins over ham and eggers. This is analogous to my years as a dance dad, where dancers feel great for top rankings from the a lame competition. But as long as we feel we are on the top of world - who cares!
regarding more payout being in the MVC in the NCAA tournament - after you split it, the delta is no more than an extra $200k to Valpo. In the great scheme of things, that’s insignificant.
@usc4valpo Are you on the right string? This is women’s BB not NIL/portal stuff.
I honestly thought we would have the new coach in place by now...The Victory Bell had some interesting possibilities and a few non starters. Castator has left but she took a leave late in the season so no surprise.
The current coach at Purdue-FW, Maria Marchesano, has done a great job with their program. Took over a program that 3 or 4 years ago had won only 1 game all year(lost around 28 or so) and now they are in the final 8 of the NIT. She originally is from FW and went to Butler. She has recruited well ands also has used the portal to develop their program. I believe they were the highest ranked program(80) of the Women's NIT Sweet Sixteen.
