Fundraising for player retention as well as making offers to new recruits is now crucial. We have been far behind and are attempting to become competitive.   -- all per chalk talk.

That's a failure in the program/Stanford athletics and could have multiple year reprecussions if it doesn't improve drastically and soon. Leadership should have recognized earlier the changing nature of collegiate athletics.

I'm glad they see that now. Hopefully they are going in full blast on the Class of 2026 and beyond and building that core needed to compete.

I'm a selfish fan - even though we've been so spoiled rooting for Stanford at the top of the women's game all these years, I don't like not seeing Stanford mentioned as a contender or featured in premiere matchups even one year.

81 alum - who led the chalk talk? I recall BobK in the past posting NIL from LifeCardinal  for WBB is VERY competitive. Stanford leadership needs to be courting the right people to step up the big time giving. Or are we talking about something different from Lifetime Cardinal funds?

Heather Oesterle.  She was very complimentary about Lifetime Cardinal.
