Audi Crooks to Transfer

What has Audi been dishonest about? IMO Audi has not been dishonest.
Not going to argue about Audi and her physical conditioning. Her body is always going to be big. She doesn’t have foot speed. Her bulk is an asset in some ways and a disadvantage in other ways. Fennelly needs to retire. Audi did the right thing taking the money. Audi played about 27 minutes per game. Averaged about a point per minute. Audi is what she is. An offensive force that is a defensive liability.
Meh, ISU has limited resources I'm good with FB and MBB getting the lions share of it.
This right here.
The days of upsets like ISU over UCONN in the tourney are likely over.
The top programs lose multiple millions in order to reach the Final Four.
Case in point:
LSU Women’s Basketball’s 2023 Championship Year Deficit
Despite winning its first-ever NCAA women’s basketball championship in 2023, the LSU Lady Tigers program operated at a nearly $7.8 million loss for the season
One could say the same to you.
If Audi had transferred out of Big 12, I would have an easier time rooting for her, but I don't see that happening with her at OSU. She is a gifted and unique player and person, so I'll wish her well in her personal life if not on the court. I don't begrudge her for getting the bag.
FIFY she is getting the money and had she gone outside the Big 12 I could have been ok but she did not.
She'd traded it all and lost being a Cyclone forever great. It is what it is.
Why, oh why, can this thread not just die?
If this board means anything it seems like a decent number of people think she's terrible anyways, or maybe they're just coping.
Most of us would also take the cash.
But yet she will be in the Iowa State Cyclone WBB record books for a very LONG time so you can always remember her as a former Cyclone and the 3 years she spent being a Cyclone all time GREAT!
We didn't want her anyway....

Likely true, and people are paying it, but if this is good why is there such upheaval? Is this good? Does this improve college sports? If you can't pay are you now on the outside looking in.
I followed her long before she was a Cyclone. I was elated she was a Clone and never thought she'd leave. She's in the record book but missed her chance to be a Cyclone great. If she is to you that is okay, I still think she is a great player but lost on being one of those special ISU ones. Those are two different things.
No it's get or get got. Dog eat dog, unbridled capitalism. With a little dash of FU I got mine.
This is correct.
Audi’s strength is also her weakness.
