2025 NCAA Tournament: Jacks vs. Oklahoma State

[OldHare]

Yesterday the pre-NCAA press conference appeared on the YouTube SDSU site for anyone interested.

Conferences are going to get $113k this year for each game their women play in the tourney. I'm sure the league will divide it fairly among all the schools but feels unfair when it's basically us getting to the tourney and drawing the most fans and attention year after year.

My math before about it being about $4k per year was based on that $113k being split over 3 years which is incorrect.

From an ABC article by Doug Feinberg "A unit this year is worth just over $113,000 and a total of $251,000 for the three years." The 3 year avg (since it appears front loaded?) for a 9 team league assuming even dist is $9,296 per year over those 3 years for a total of $27,888

The ACC gives a higher cut to those who are actually in the tournament and phrase it as "performance success initiative" - something to consider

Transcripts html pdf from today. Can't seem to find the SDSU videos for today (l only looked up SDSU, UConn, and OSU) but can find UConn from one of their many media people. Link for all transcripts. Geno/players video

Regarding Vasecka, AARON JOHNSTON: She's been good. She's been practicing. She'll be out there today. We would expect that she'd be available and ready to play kind of her normal role, normal minutes here going forward.

Re Kallie & Paige B "They played in the same section and, unfortunately, Kallie missed out on some state tournaments because of Paige and what she did in high school. So there's a familiarity there that is a neat storyline"

Richmond is up 26 points on Georgia Tech. Richmond beat OSU by 2 I believe for their only Q1 win. It's why they stood out even with their 2 q2 losses

I like the fact that only Anna Gret Asi has been in this situation before. Players will play, but it can't hurt to have a team with more experience in this game.

[98Jackfarmer]

Not that I would know, but this has to be a different feeling than just a road game. To have so many on the team that have been through this is a positive. Coaches too.
