Arizona drew 7,000 for A PRESEASON GAME?

Also, good to see she understands the current athletics landscape: "You can go buy a post player in the portal."
How winning is done.

the Arizona fans are wound up AdiaΓÇÖs comments about AZΓÇÖs lack of NIL funds:

Now that there is the portal, you cannot sustain success without resources. So, naturally, you will lose 5-7 players per year when they donΓÇÖt get paid.ΓÇ¥

We were in a similar position last year for Wilson - no $$$ from Rick Hart. Damon Evans has changed the horizon.

So Wilson didn't have funds because Rick didn't ask the right people for the cash or Damon has brought a renewed energy and the vital need to fund all sports? I'm looking forward to the new year of WBB. That hasn't been the case in a while. VBALL is also awesome.

Or is it because the right people were asked, but they concluded Wilson was not a coach in whom they wanted to invest?
