Bill Fennelly statement on state of Iowa State women's basketball

"It goes without saying that college sports have undergone tremendous change in the past few years and our program obviously has been impacted by the current landscape this spring. While I am sad and disappointed that some of our players have decided to pursue other opportunities, I want to thank them for their time at Iowa State and wish them all the best as they move on. They will always be a part of the Cyclone women's basketball family.

"On behalf of everyone associated with our program, I want to thank our campus leadership for their continued support. The alignment with President (David) Cook, (athletic director) Jamie Pollard, and (senior associate AD) Calli Sanders continues to be amazing and is helping our program to navigate through this challenging time.

"Finally, I want to thank the nation's BEST fans for their love and support of Cyclones women's basketball. Over our 31 years here, you have grown with us and made Hilton Magic a special place that has created lifelong memories for so many. I look forward, with enthusiasm, to next season and promise you we will have a team that represents all of you the Iowa State Way.

"Thank you for your continued support and Go Cyclones!"
