Message: [QUOTE="southie, post: 4358734, member: 2527"] Each school has different barometers of success for each sports program; and, I'm sure that changes as the athletic director changes. Texas Tech won a national title in 1993 and was a fixture in the NCAA tourney the 10-12 years after that. Since Marsh Sharp retired 16 years ago, Texas Tech has had Kristy Curry, Candy Whitaker, and Marlene Stallings prior to Gerlich in charge. Only Curry made it to the NCAA tourney (twice), but could not win a game. That means Tech has not won an NCAA tourney game in 17 seasons. Gerlich's first two seasons at Tech culminated with 10-15 and 11-18 records; and, that was with Vivian Gray on the court. With the talent remaining, I for sure don't see them as an NCAA tourney team. Can she show improvement and win more than 11 games; I wouldn't bet on it. If you're not winning, you have to win some recruiting battles and show your A.D. that you have incoming talent in the pipeline for the immediate future; maybe this NIL incentive will help; but, there's just over 3 months left before the November signing period for the class of 2023.
