UConn posted that senior night is the game versus Creighton. That airs on CBSSN, not SNY. Hopefully the Huskies livestream it. Anyone heard anything about live-streaming plans? I hate to miss any “announcements” live.
 
Interesting. The schedule currently stated that the Marquette game, the last regular season game, was Senior Day. This broadcast also is not on SNY but is on FS1 so the same question about the ceremony being broadcasted was there. So nothing has changed :(.

The above got me confused

And to add to the confusion, on the Hulu Live TV guide for February 27, the UConn game is currently not listed because the Concafa World Cup qualifier is on at 8PM.
Their future TV guides have been wrong before tho.

Wouldn’t it just be fantastic to see an all Senior starting lineup of Kaitlin, Paige, Azzi, Audrey and Carol?!

Azzi got her degree last year and I would assume she would participate in senior night. However, has she given any indication that she'll be back next year? She does have a red shirt year left.

My post really had nothing to do with Azzi and everything to do with Carol. Sorry if I didn’t make that more obvious.

Early in the season, Azzi (my local girl) said she is leaning toward coming back. She is in her first year of a 2-year Masters program. She got her Bachelors degree last May.

That's good news. I vaguely recall her saying that there was no point in coming back because there was nothing left for her to do, but your post would lead me to believe that at least a possibility exists otherwise.

Your local girl is a smart girl. I was under the impression that she is not coming back. I'm not sure of the source of that impression. It would be neat if both Paige and Azzi came back (someone would have to walk on and pay their own tuition, which for these kids is chump change. No need for a Go Fund Me page).

They’ll usually live stream on the UConn+ app.

MilfordHusky: you have been right so many times in the past, that I'm counting on your post being correct. Thanks for the info.
 
All is good with the Hulu Live schedule for the 27th, the Creighton game is now listed in the guide.

And, as noted elsewhere, there is the lure of a more profitable WNBA contract if Azzi delays her signing by a year until 2026.

This is an interesting factor I had not previously thought of. With the major increases in attendance, TV ratings and the Caitlin Clark factor, the new contract is likely to be way way better than the old one. Someone like Clark being stuck with the existing rookie contract for several years is a real negative.

This could be a factor for several draft eligible players this year, Miles?, Betts has already said she will return etc. The one downside of waiting a year, might be that it could delay by one year when a top WNBA player could first test free agency. But who knows, the new contract might reduce the length of time a rookie is under contract to the team that drafts them too.

Anyway all things considered, I think you raise a very interesting point that could indeed cause several players to return that might not have otherwise.

I am still thinking we may try to get Caroline a minute or two of game time. And we may even talk to the Marquette coach before the game and explain what we are trying to accomplish with her. And ask for matador defense on Caroline.

That was exactly what happened in 1998 when Nykesha Sales was allowed to score her 2178th point to break the UConn WBB career scoring record. Sales had ruptured her Achilles tendon and would otherwise be unable to play, falling just 1 point short of the all time scoring record, held by Kerry Bascom at that time.

Geno worked out a deal with his good friend Harry Paretta, the HC at Villanova, to allow Sales to make an uncontested layup, after which Villanova was allowed to make their own uncontested layup, at which point Sales returned to the bench and the real game began.

There was a lot of controversy about that agreement between Geno & Harry Perretta. But for the most part, it was widely supported by UConn fans.

Other teams have done that too. Just not as publicly scorned as Geno was.

Can someone help me, I've seen similar comments and am not fully understanding.

Caitlin Clark is in a rookie contract for three remaining years. Aaliyah Boston the prior year's #1, would still have two remaining on her rookie contract. Paige Bueckers would be in the same rookie contract for a total of four years and assuming that she does in fact enter, must have no quarrels about it. And of course, all of those others who were not #1 draft choices, but are still in the league such as Olivia, Dorka, Lou, Nika, Aaliyah, and the fifty or so others. And of course, there are all of the players who are no longer on the rookie contract, however, they are contracted with a team and likely for multiple years.

Is the idea that there is a potential that a renegotiated collective bargaining agreement would not protect those players who are under an existing contract, rookies or elsewise which would probably amount to about 90% of the players? That those players would have to live through their existing contract terms with no chance of adjustments? However, with the new renegotiated CBA those who timed their free agency just perfectly and/or those players still in college who've yet to enter into the league, only they would be the lucky beneficiaries?

Any player currently under a rookie contract is locked into that contract under the current CBA for their 1st three years plus a team option for year 4. The current CBA runs through the upcoming 2025 season. So a player like Paige who may enter the W in 2025, would be covered under the current CBA for their next 4 seasons, even if a new CBA is negotiated for 2026.

As for veteran players no longer covered under rookie contracts, there are but a handful (less than 5?) under contract beyond 2025. Most veterans either have their contracts expiring at the end of the 2025 season or they have signed 1-year contracts in anticipation of significantly more money available under the new CBA in 2026.

Sign a contract and, you have locked up for you whatever is in the contract. Unless both parties agree to terminate.

Ah! I didn't realize that so few veteran players were not under contract beyond next year (less than 5). Somehow I was thinking it was the exact opposite. So, in reality other than those who are in the rookie contracts, sounds like basically the entire league will be free agents come collective bargaining time.

And you are right MooseJaw, I had anticipated that the 'both parties agree to terminate' would be part of that collective bargaining renegotiation, particularly if it included all of the veteran players (but I guess there is not too many of them).
