Watching the Minnesota vs Texas match, I loved the fire from Minnesota’s libero, and Texas did not impress - will be interesting to see if Texas had an off night or if Minnesota is much better than I expected. Sorta enjoyed watching Wenaas lose to her old team - just because I don’t like Texas. HORNS DOWN  😂😂😂😂 |

Watching Bilinovic against USC. Creighton up two sets to one. Batenhorst the main focus for SC. Lots of block touches and messy play in this one.
Creighton wins in 4 (28-26)

If history repeats itself, she might transfer to Penn State? |

I personally root for anyone vs. Texas That's like my dad; he was in the navy so his favorite teams were Navy and whoever was playing Notre Dame (he had this great dislike of them). I always thought that was kinda funny. I'm that way in football; I'm a Bears fan and a fan of whoever is playing New England. 
Yeah, I'm probably in the same camp. I think I barely want TX to lose more.
I was just wondering about NIL and volleyball. There have been some 'rumors' floating around abut Iowa and their poaching wrestlers from other schools where said wrestlers aren't in the portal. So, it makes me wonder about the NIL situation at TX, NEB and WISC (I don't think PSU is doing this)? Are some of these transfers getting large amounts of money from NIL at the school they are transferring to that they wouldn't have gotten from their original school?
It seems like KY is a minor league for TX in volleyball, along with MINN being a minor league for WISC and NEB. We (KY & MINN) develop them, you get to use the final product. Course it does make one wonder why so many really good volleyball players are transferring from KY to wherever.
The way NIL is so unenforced, it has the possibility to wreck a lot of things. It seems that money can be offered athletes without much advertising/anything being done by the athlete. So it could be a straight up buy an athlete for a year (or more). I can see the point of NIL. BUT, it sure has the potential to be abused.
Anyway, enough of this rant.
Edit. This may seem a bit hypocritical of me, being a PSU fan and PSU getting a fair number of transfers. BUT, if you look at Caroline Jurevicius and Maggie Mendelson and their transfer to PSU: it was because of OTHER transfers to NEB or new recruits so that these two didn't appear that they would be getting any playing time. It's sort of like wrestlers transferring from PSU to other teams because PSU is so loaded in talent, (which they are), that some REALLY good wrestlers would hardly see the mat cause they had a great/national champion wrestler in front of them.
Northern Illinois Football did your dad proud today - They upset Notre Dame... at Notre Dame! |

After MN's impressive 5 set win over Texas, they've lost in 5 to Baylor, and yet again in 5 to TCU.
