Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 5090491, member: 11664"] I love the fact that she is marketing herself & will be able weigh all of the potential NIL payday opportunities before signing. She can bring enough publicity & credibility to a program to make it a relatively instant Final Four contender through the transfer portal & future recruitment. Signing a player like that could do the work that a recruitment staff could never do without her. Coaches like Geno get bonuses for winning every single NCAAT game when it's the players who do the majority of the work, get injured & suffer. I have no problem with a player who wants to be a mercenary if they choose. That's their right & their calling. We're only fans who watch the games. But I'd like to see more powerhouse teams spring up out of nowhere. That makes life more interesting since players can have many different motivations regarding where to attend. If Ms. Chavez wants to take care of her parents or has needs that we don't know about, then it's none of our business what her motivations are & I won't try to judge her negatively. If the system allows it then more power to her. If she loves the game & plays her heart out then that's all that matters to me, Athletes simply want to get paid what they think is fair so let the market decide. [/QUOTE]
