Softball is somewhat unique in sports in that all you need is one very good pitcher to have a chance to win a world series. In football one very good quarterback would not be enough.
NIL is totally out of control in my favorite sport WVB. According to many posts on a VB message board Wisconsin payed a player over six figures last season and she sat on the bench. They will pay her six figures again this coming season because they don't want her to transfer to a competitor. Nebraska, Wisconsin, Texas, and some other schools are paying their best players several hundred thousand dollars per year in addition to the athletic scholarship.
Moving forward I'm not sure the Stanford name will be enough to keep Cardinal volleyball a powerhouse in the sport.
