      I guess it shows the value of “star power” in sports; the sports media built up Caitlyn Clark so much they brought viewers in to watch her play and see if she could win a championship. I guess its a good argument for NIL, by itself Iowa women’s basketball is not the draw but the personal story.

      To me the biggest crime is that the NCAA men’s tournament final four games were not on CBS while the women’s final was on ABC. What is up with that?? CBS/Warner Bros trying to pimp its cable properties? That is BS. I was able to watch because I’m paying for fiber TV/internet service, but not everyone can?

      They’ve pegged you as a donor so they are going to keep hitting you up for $$. Hopefully the “unsubs” register with them. I don’t donate to CC, since I live out of state, just some to my college, and don’t get a huge amount of extraneous requests, phone calls can be a bit irritating, though. There is a development officer who sometimes comes to an annual professional conference I attend, so if it were happening to me, I’d let the development person know its irritating you, maybe word will get out they are going too far/wide with the $$ requests.

      one thing with the move to the Big-12 you’ll see some good baseball coming to town, such as TCU, TTech, WVaU and Baylor, in addition to the Arizona schools.

      His name always reminded me of the mythical “Captain Tuttle” character on M*A*S*H.
      Didn’t the Utes miss out on some other quality QB’s who didn’t come to Utah since Tuttle was supposed to be a 3-year starter?

      $51B says BYU has more resources than UKy.

      Right, sorry, don’t mean to say they unnecessarily built her up, but just that her feats were widely publicized and well know even outside of typical college basketball fan circles. Anyway my point is people were watching to see her and not necessarily which TEAM would win the NCAA Women’s Basketball championship. So I’ve seen people extrapolate to say that women’s college basketball is becoming as popular as men’s. No, not by a long shot.

      I think the writer is correctly recognizing that the Holy War outcome is not always logical based on team strengths and records and that Utah needs to win this year to remain in contention for the top spot, especially given the game against OkState is on the road.
