Sprinkle was $900k last year with media rights and was set to move to $925k this year so it looks like we're picking up where we left off. What’s the bu...

Re: Sprinkle to Washington

We won’t. We aren’t in the WAC or Big West anymore. We will be a 7-10 seed each time we make the tournament. I think we can start winning more regularly and hopefully get to a Sweet 16 soon!
I do agree with this. It's going to be different from this time forward.
