MWC Commish Statement

Login to view embedded media
Not sure the purpose of this. A lot of fluff. Is she nervous about this or something playing out. Someone threatening to leave?. Was the grant of rights actually signed or simply a MOU.

I am less positive on her as time has progressed. I am concerned to what degree did a huge conflict of interest ( salaries and a future job security ) sway the thinking not only by her, but also by the Pac12 Commish.

It just seems that a merger was what should be happening. Less likely now with bringing on those other soon to be MWC schools.

Lauren Olsen from Douglas

Anyone know if the UW women recruited Lauren Olsen out of Douglas? She set the all time prep scoring record in Wyoming. Had 44 against Glenrock last week.

I know she committed to Cal Baptist but don’t know if that’s because UW recruited her and she wanted to head to California or if this is another home state miss for UW.
