Great piece.  The contract extension for Wren Baker it deserved but gives me one question:  Is the size of the extension dependent on the composition of the conference we end up in?   I would prefer us not be in a Sun Belt-is west Divison of whatever conference we end up in.  Although I wouldn't mind Louisiana being added to our division.

I would listen to this podcast.  Toward end of realignment talk, CSU mentions central time zone teams potentially being added to MWC.  Wouldn't get full share until new TV deal and then would be full members.  I'd think UNT would be on short list for that.

Everyone brings up SMU (probably wishful thinking by MWC fans), but I don’t see why they would pay an exit fee to increase their travel costs and likely make the same or less money, even factoring in the losses AAC just took. 
 

I don’t think it’s any question UNT is at the top of that list, I just think it’s a question of do they expand. This may be the top brasses’ public campaign, but they may not have the support of everyone else in the conference because they are thinking about having to split the pie up even a little bit more.

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Nice walk off win in the 9th....4-3....on a homer by Molly Rainey. All three homers today by seniors....Molly, Kailey Gamble (tied it at 3 in the 7th)...and Kalei Christensen....with a solo blast for our first run. Skylar gets the win....in relief of Mackenzie Wagoner. Great win.....game two coming up soon.

      This is the point I think has never been critically consider because of the greed of EVERYONE ELSE besides the players. The old system was never sustainable because the schools had very little invested in the players actually get the best education available at their schools. If guaranteed 4 year scholarships (with an option after 2 years) were the standard or breakable by the student I don't think we have the madness of today. The other major part is the lack of standardization and revenue sharing for all school playing at a particular level. How do you expect the players or coaches to have any loyalty when the schools have no loyalty to protect the health overall college sports. 🤷🏽‍♂️

      Somebody explain how the runner that was hit with the batted ball was called safe? These umpires are horrible.

      Good. Offer them a NIL deal and let them pay for their education. They shouldn't receive both.

      Wichita St with a wind aided HR in the top of the 5th to make it 2-1. Waggoner is pitching a heck of a game, but we need a few runs to pad the lead.
