Only when they play it Afghan style with a dead sheep instead of a ball.

A successful Lady Golfer can make decent money on the LPGA tour. To date, there are 14 players earning over $1,000,000 for this season. No Stanford golfers among those, however. Now we wait and see how well Lee and Valenzuela do. While a long ways from the men in earnings, it isn't bad and I don't think these figures factor in sponsership money.

I’m pretty sure Michelle Wie has done very, very well, particularly if you factor in sponsorship deals. Also, Jerry West is now her father-in-law!
Of course she never played for Stanford. Does she count in the parameters of this discussion?

Just found out that you can make a ton of money in polo... from selling the horses.

Sorry to go off topic a bit here from the pro sports discussion but I was thinking of trying to nab Final Four tix since I am sort of in the area, and I was wondering if you guys had any advice on 1) what's decent seating for a volleyball game? (I mostly have watched on TV) and 2) does this PrimeSport third-party (?) site that's linked to on the NCAA Volleyball tickets site seem legit?
I don't mind paying up to get a good seat but want to make sure I'll be able to see/that I'm not falling for a scam site.

Does Jessica Mendoza count? How about Rose Gold-O? Stanford athletes who've remained in front of the cameras.

Volleyball is a very easy sport to watch. The ball hits the ground and in most cases it's obvious how that happened.
If you watch from the sidelines you will likely be fine.
112 & 102 are clearly best, but probably expensive. Depends on your tolerance to spend $$$
101, 103, 111 & 113 are probably assigned to the teams. I am not 100% certain our allocation has sold out, but it does explain why they are blocked on your site link.
The corner-ish sections are probably good. Probably best to be a few rows up to see the opposite corner, but no need to be at the top of the 100s sections.
The sections behind the end lines will be harder for a volleyball novice. This is a big arena so my guess is the 200 sections will be too high.
Seems clear that ticket sales are robust as Wisconsin and Minnesota both are likely travelling in big numbers.
It seems like other big time ticket sites have compelling re-sale rates. Remember this is in Pittsburgh, PA. Pitt was the #6 seed, so my guess is a lot of people got tickets anticipating they would make the Final Four. Penn State was #11, and they may have also had people buying early. They likely anticipated that if the teams didn't get in they would be able to sell their tickets at decent prices to Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin types as long as at least one of those schools got through.
The secondary market appears strong, but it does seem like tickets are going for credible prices. I am not sure how much ticket fraud exists in women's NCAA volleyball events. It is a popular event, but IMHO not popular enough to really be a opportunity for big time fraud.

Have you already called Stanford to ask about seats in the Stanford section? 1-800-STANFORD
RE: Women’s volleyball on to the final four - eb388 - 12-18-2019
Thanks so much to both of you. I will call the ticket office once they open and then take your advice on the secondary market seats if that doesn't work. Appreciate your help!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stanford's Meghan McClure is the recipient of the Elite 90 award at the NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Championship.
McClure, a science, technology and society major, carries a 3.965 GPA on a 4.0 scale. The junior was presented with the award during Wednesday evening's banquet held at the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh.
McClure is the second consecutive Cardinal player to win the award as Michaela Keefe earned the honor in 2018.

Just imagine how dominating Stanford WvB would have been over the past years if Hodson was healthy to continue her volleyball career? Maybe this year’s team would be going for a 4peat? I guess we will never know. I hope she’s well.
RE: Women’s volleyball on to the final four - BobK - 12-19-2019
Hodson graduated from Stanford and is now at ucla law school

McClure sure seems like the ideal Stanford student-athlete. Tenacious on the court, absolutely crushing it in the classroom, and seemingly a genuinely kind and decent human being besides. (Remember the video Stanford put together about her relationship with her sister, who has Down Syndrome? That story sure got me.)
We're lucky to have her talent, but we're luckier to have her.
