not a lot of surprises with poll or awards. i do wish they would name five players to the first team though. it's so misogynistic to do it like this.

I don't bet, but I wouldn't put any money on ISU. I generally like Bill, but his teams just never seems to close out a conference season when they should. Don't know about KSU.

Biggest question is how many conference games does the regular season champion lose? I could see 4 at a minimum. The teams are so even, at least on paper, that the championship will be determined by the unbalanced schedule. Where top teams play each other when they only play once, how many play each other twice, and who "skates" a little because of the unbalance.

Van Lith......I would give her the gold digger award. She probably counts the money she did not get because NIL wasn't there for her whole college career.

k-state and isu are home&home. rivalry setup. both are loaded. isu is considerably younger though. they are going to be a handful the next three seasons with audi patrolling the lane.

haley looked very unhappy at lsu last season. i can understand why she left. i'm sure nil impacts many of these women, just like men, but at a lower pay2play.
