Message: [QUOTE="huskyd, post: 4006294, member: 6488"] For more than 20 years I've had the pleasure of wcbb to look forward to each fall into winter. Specifically, I've had the extreme pleasure of watching UConn's women's teams have an unprecedented run of success. Now the game is changing in profound and uncharted ways, and what I'm really wondering is how these changes will affect my long run as spectator and fan. What is it we're really supporting with our time, energy, and money? I've thought a lot about this, and I'm pretty sure that what we care about is being part of a community (UConn) of which we are inordinately proud and the glory of which somehow rubs off on us. It is very like a family to whom we are devoted and repays us with its caring in exchange for our own. If this sounds goopy, so be it. And what are we, fans extraordinaire, about to experience? The GOOD NEWS is that our pleasure will just be enhanced. In fact, the interest for the best female college players to leave early for the pros will be[I] diminished[/I] by compensation for their NIL. Why rush off to the WNBA to make [I]less[/I] than some young women can make playing college ball? Expect the best players to go [I]4 full years[/I] and everyone else to enjoy a free education and the chance to be part of the greatest program in the history of women's roundball. One would expect that the players in the WNBA will enjoy greater pay—but that's not likely, as they barely survive now outside the largess of the NBA. So worry no more. It's all good. The best college women will be tangibly valued, and things will only get better for everyone. Paige and Azzi ain't goin' anywhere, and neither are we fans.
