Message: [QUOTE="cabbie191, post: 5262350, member: 417"] Throughout the past season but especially during the national tournament, I think we all saw a growing number of "student athletes" (I just love NCAA jargon!) appearing in multiple television commercials. Paige, Juju and Cooper Flagg readily come to mind. During my career, I was interviewed for radio and television news several dozen times, but I was never asked to make a commercial. SO IT'S JUST POSSIBLE I COULD BE WRONG, but I'm guessing that making even short ads requires quite a time commitment. My questions are: 1) Where does the time come from, when balanced between practices, games, studies, media obligations, and in the case of programs like UConn, being in contact with the fan base, and meeting with their agents? 2) For players who are elite and have NIL contracts with their school, do their contracts spell out time accommodations for them to shoot ads? Just another wrinkle in the life of top notch coaches who didn't have to deal with this even a few years ago. My respect level for the Geno's and Dawn's of this world has increased accordingly.
