I think somewhere in one of these threads Blum said something like some WBB players at other schools were getting $1m and the Fareway deal is worth somewhere around $100k
Bill Fennelly
- Thread starter AltoonaFish
- Start date
There is no way she is top 5. (not saying someone hasn't posted she is top 5) Other teams will run around her all day and 6'3" in the wnba isn't really a center.
Whether or not Audi was offered 500K to go somewhere else really has nothing to do with what the school is giving from their share.
I doubt very much that a school is offering her 500K out of their 20M profit sharing. That 500k is what these places are offering in their outside NIL deals. It is the same thing where Penn St is giving Campbell 30M over their Profit share cap. The school is not coming up with that money, their outside big booster companies are.
So a school might give 100k out of their profit share, then set her up with another 400k in NIL deals outside the school.
I dont think a lot of people understand the difference between the new 20M profit share, that now includes the collectives, and the outside NIL deals.
A lot also dont understand how so many of these schools with big boosters are basically buying players at will by using their boosters companies to pay players any amount they need. Which is why the numbers have ballooned so fast and why the portal is such a mess, the so called checks and balances dont work.

Sad Bill is dragging this out instead of retiring with dignity
He’s got a dynasty for sure, but he’s tough on the girls.
(I know you weren’t serious)
Doesn’t sound like Bill is going anywhere…sigh.
I want Audi, AJ, Hare, and Paulk to stay because we know them and we like loyalty. I said before that I like NIL for women because they don’t have a better chance to get after college. Audi has a few NIL deals right now so maybe she is good with that. Maybe she is having hard conversations with Bill (“hey Bill don’t be such a ****” kind) and trying to talk him into some changes. **** if I know, but I think we really need her to stay!
Is it possible there was locker room trouble from some of the ladies leaving? I know it’s not unheard of for girls to get jealous or catty

It’s catch 22: if he retires now, it will still be viewed as “forced” retirement because he lost his players / locker room.
Make Audi a Player Coach and slide Bill’s $700K retention bonus to her as a thanks for not making his final season a flop. Maybe she’ll even call a timeout when the opponent is on a run.
Bill has told Jamie he needs an extension to get kids to sign.
Jamie has told him no extension.
They are not having friendly conversations.

The history woukdnt remember him being forced out. If he stays histiry will remember him as overstaying his welcome.and burnIng down what he built
Well, if Bill retained kids, he could have coached his planned final season without adding more than a player or two. JP is doing what he should here.
Since line one is false as he has an auto rollover on his contract...I would assume line two is also false. Line three is very likely.
No mention of auto rollover here. Bill’s intent was to retire after next season and the roster was obviously constructed before the ongoing mass attrition to align with his retirement.
Bill Fennelly agrees to two-year extension
Bill Fennelly, head coach of the Iowa State women’s basketball team, has reached an agreement to add two more years to his contract. The terms of the deal are currently unknown, but it extends Fennelly’s deal through the 2026-27 season. Athletics Director Jamie Pollard expressed his excitement...

Actually they probably did, she got a ton of press this yr, she is really well liked, highly recognizable.
McKenna Woliczko is reportedly getting $2 million over 4 years to play for Iowa.
Hope she takes the 2 mill and leaves after 1.
