Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3987877, member: 7511"] I believe the answer to your question is yes. Some folks would argue that Paige gets free room and board from UConn for the right to market her uniform and likeness. But here’s a curveball to consider. I would suspect that Nike, UConn’s shoe & apparel sponsor, will do everything they can to sign an endorsement deal with Paige. But there is a possibility that a competitor like PUMA, who is anxious to be a bigger player in the women’s market, and just signed a big endorsement deal with Stewie for her own brand, could swoop in and sign Paige. So the upshot of such a deal would be that Paige wears Nike apparel whenever playing for UConn but does commercials for Puma shoes & sportswear. Yet another interesting dilemma. [/QUOTE]
