Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4098561, member: 9844"] I'm moving on too. It just kinda surprised me because for the most part I think the NIL will be more of an advantage than disadvantage for Uconn, but time will tell. On the national level I think the high profile of Uconn basketball will be a plus regarding NIL deals, with the exception that for more local level deals, perhaps being in a major metropolitan area would be a plus. Geno has suggested that for many programs just a couple of kids will get deals, but if the team is good enough and popular enough, I think it might include a few more. I am reminded of the Super Bowl Shuffle Chicago Bears. They had all the endorsement angles covered, a great team that captured the imagination of the nation, lots of very interesting characters and personalities, and of course in a major metropolitan area. They probably had twenty players getting endorsement deals, even the field goal kicker! So it wouldn't shock me if we had a half dozen players getting some kind of deals beyond just Paige and Azzi.
