2024-25 Non-Revenue Sports Thread

[ELA]

Hockey at 4-0 in Big Ten play with back to back sweeps of Notre Dame and Ohio State.  Womens soccer advances and only has 2 losses all season.  They also have the #1 tennis player in the nation

I'm only half joking by suggesting that MSU could be elite in a few non-revenue sports, by shifting some of the NIL we pay just to keep our head above water in the revenue sports.  And the checks from the tv deals come either way

MSU pulls off the sweep of #1 Minnesota in Minneapolis.  Probably headed back to #1 after falling out with a split in Madison last weekend.

The thought of MSU being #1 in the nation, coming off a 3-1 stretch on the road against the old WCHA teams is pretty unthinkable considering how bad they had been.  They hadn't won a conference championship in 23 years, and hadn't made the tournament in 12

MSU overcomes the refs letting Iowa play a fouled out player and a phantom lane violation to get to 10-0 in WBB

The Nebraska men’s gymnastics team heads into the 2025 season ranked No. 4 in the College Gymnastics Association  preseason coaches poll.

Stanford leads the poll, ranked No.1 for the 2025 season as the defending NCAA Champions.

Big Ten foe Michigan is ranked second, Oklahoma is third and Nebraska is fourth. Illinois rounds out the top five.

#2 MSU, playing without their captain, up 8-3 on #4 Minnesota.

I said a few years ago that MSU should drop hockey, instead they are now investing more into the sport than Minnesota

Selection show?

Does the committee get protection from the shooters they leave out?

Minnesota and Michigan both upset in the first round of the BTT (hockey).  surprising because not only is it played on the home ice, but the first round is best of 3.

PSU remains the hottest team in the league down the stretch.  Swept Michigan, now goes to Columbus

I didn't realize how much MSU had wandered in the wilderness before the current coach. 

UW is currently a mess, which is just irksome given the tradition. UW women are the favorite, but single elimination hockey is always tough.

3 bad coaching hires in a row will do that
