I see that women's soccer did have a winning record (12-5-6 overall, 4-2-5 in conference) and did make the NCAA tournament. But women's softball had a losing record in the spring.
Women's soccer is and has been quite good, and was not hurt by joining the B1G. They were in the Final Four last year. Men's soccer, while truly awful this year, was good enough last year to earn the coach "B1G Coach of the Year" honors, I gather there were injuries this year, but I don't follow soccer. The wrestling team is also quite well thought of, and has had national rankings and some NCAA tournament wrestlers since joining the B1G.
Likewise, neither Softball nor Volleyball were hurt by joining the B1G. Volleyball had been awful for years - you can look it up. Softball, OTH, has improved from "awful" and even might have had a winning record some years. I don't think the move in conferences changed things that much, they couldn't beat the better BE teams and can't beat the better B1G teams, who are much, much better than the BE top teams, to be sure. Softball has - among other things - a very serious issue - they don't play in anything resembling a stadium, which most P5 teams do. They have no nearby locker room (it is across the street in the RAC), no lights, a poor climate (no, that doesn't stop the other B1G teams, but it doesn't help building a team), etc. I happen to like the coach, but he is solid and not likely to take them to any heights. Yet, his accomplishments starting at dreadful need to be noted.
For football and women's basketball - which I do follow, obviously, the issue is recruiting, really. Vivian can't seem to get it done, and the new football coach is, naturally, playing with his predecessor's team. One can but hope. I know nada about men's basketball, except that Eddie Jordan, who was dismissed last year, was awful.
They beat NC State last year. Coach McCallie's daughter is a senior starter on that team and she led them to victory vs the Wolfpack last year.
