This is a great resource! Thanks for maintaining and sharing it. Practically speaking, this year's 15-person roster was effectively closer to 9, sometimes 10, in reality, with Green and Papadaki unable to compete at this level, Lepolo and Umeh almost constantly injured, and Agara and Peterson seemingly substantially injured. Having 11 players with the ability to contribute could actually be an upgrade, although losing Nunu's productivity (when she was able to play) is a big loss. I'm torn because I always want my Cardinal to do great every year, but I also realize that they can't compete in this era if they don't gain more admission flexibility and a commitment to paying at or above market to bring in stud players in whatever undergraduate or graduate major they want, even if the rigid admissions rules say it's too late. So maybe they must hit true rock bottom to force our administrators to give up some of the arrogant red tape we impose on athletes, compared to other schools. If they could throw tons of money to keep the remaining players and to get Audi Crooks, regardless of admission administrator hurdles, they could still have something.
