Already this postseason, six power conference coaching jobs have opened — one in the Big Ten, two in the SEC and three in the Big 12. For a while, I’ve been chatting with women’s basketball insiders about what this coaching cycle will look like because big changes are coming with revenue sharing and financial units (multi-million dollar payments the NCAA awards to conferences in March Madness tournaments) hitting the sport within months of one another.
Revenue sharing will impact a coach’s ability to recruit and build a program while the units will incentivize programs to invest in their women’s basketball programs. Many believe the SEC and Big Ten will be the leaders on this because of their TV contracts for college football (which fuel so much of college sports), so I have long been curious if women’s basketball openings in those conferences will pull sitting ACC and Big 12 coaches. Based on the early looks of it, that might be true for the better jobs opening in those conferences.
This is what I’m hearing about the six coaching jobs in women’s college hoops after talking to sources over the weekend:

2024-25 record: 13-17 (4-14 in Big Ten), first-round loss in Big Ten tournament
