You Can't Go Home Again, But Maybe Coach Kim

As the article implies at the conclusion: how could LSU possibly match salaries? But maybe Kim isn't looking for that. Or maybe (gasp!) she's talking without thinking....Nah. Not Kim. Always so judicious....

Yeah, she won't do it. Nor will she head for Storrs. But fun to imagine...

Michio Kaku and Neil deGrasse Tyson have each prophesized a Fifth Dimension in the Space Time Continuum which some in Waco refer to as the Mulkey Way...................  .........?? In this warped dimension, all things are possible so fasten your seat belts and open the door to insanity the Waco Way...............................

I don't think they've been picked up, yet.

But the dangerous thing for players is that, once they enter the portal, their home institution is no longer obligated to support them financially. I have no idea how this plays out for some of them if they can't find a new team. I guess it'll be a few years before all this gets sorted.

I thought about the raise strategy, too. But to be taken seriously at Baylor, she'd have to have a reasonably competitive offer from LSU, and that would be a massive step up for that program. I doubt it's money, since she's already making so much. I just think it's Kim: talk first, apologize later.

As to the portal, yes, I imagine there will be casualties in the first few years, until players learn that they have to be realistic about their chances of getting picked up by another university. So, the stars will have lots of leverage and everyone else won't. Nothing new there....
