Let me follow the logic here... because the Chicago Cheetahs set up a 501(c)3 charity a few years back, one of their coaches was hired by UIC? I assume you understand the charitable fund disbursement rules... which does not permit a bag of cash being used to induce schools to hire coaches (or whatever that innuendo is...)

Go to the IRS website and search for Building Strong Women Leaders. You'll see everything you need to know - certainly no payments to UIC, and no payments even to Bowman. It's a small charity, but the purpose and aims are great - to support women, specifically those who enter the coaching ranks so they can make an actual career of it.

Come on. Let's not tear down. Let's be happy for a local player and coach getting this opportunity!

Coronado is a player and coach with very solid experience. She relates to her players extraordinarily well. She will bring youth, energy, social media saviness, and familiarity with the area (as club coach and DePaul player) that will be invaluable for recruiting. The UIC website features quotes from Frank Lenti and Cat Osterman praising her and the hire.

I predict that we'll all be happy with her results by year three, and wondering how UIC will hold onto her by year four.
