They definitely get NIL money in some way though. Because a lot of international tennis players were in the transfer portal this year looking for larger pay days.

Like Auburn's #1 player from Tajikistan comes from a poor family, so he wanted to get as much NIL money as he could and Texas A&M was willing to pay a lot so he went there

Yeah no problem lol. This is actually pretty common for tennis. Most top teams bring in really good international players, more than American players. So LSU is definitely not alone in this in tennis, but might be more unique in basketball.

So basketball, starting to do it, actually just mirrors what tennis has been doing for a long time.

Clemson vs Auburn is so boring.

Yeah, the Texas vs Virginia national title match had only 2 Americans among the 12 singles starters. 1 for each team

crazy how both years Texas won they were super close to losing in the super regionals

No not a good analogy at all really. Arkansas has long been a baseball power who has never gotten over the hump. Texas Tech has been a softball power for exactly two years and been to the finals twice.

I agree. It’s not even recruiting your own players. Just picking off the best from not as rich schools. Laziest way of coaching, and I’ve heard the A&M coaches are on the lazier side in recent years

You do know Texas was just in the national title match in men’s tennis this year right? Lost to Virginia.

Y’all are also some of the biggest spenders on tennis

Trying to join the women in being national title contenders. The #1 players from Arizona State, Auburn and UNLV all joining A&M from the portal.

Added to a roster that will return its top 4 players. A&M going all out next year with a big budget in tennis.

Yes just an objectively better song

What happened to her? She was basically unhittable at Stanford and last year but every time I turn it on this year, they are teeing off on her
