Message: [QUOTE="Dugway, post: 5038510, member: 13446"] I think that there is a difference between NIL money and Endorsement money. I am not an expert on this, so someone who knows more can certainly correct me. But I believe that all of her Endorsement money would (could) go with her; that is her commercials, advertisings, shoe sponsorship, etc. Her NIL money is a percentage of the #5 UConn Jerseys that are sold; these are the official retail sales of that product which the player basically receives a commission. If she were to leave the NCAA and move into the professional ranks, she will for the first several seasons make the Rookie Salary which is based upon where the player is drafted. For Paige assume it will be more or less $80K per year. So, if a player were to make more on Jersey sales than $80K, in theory there would be a net loss of income. I don't know how much she actually gets from Jersey sales, but apparently it is more than anyone else so maybe it does amount to more than $80K? This article was about her making more NIL money than anyone else ... so, okay, be interesting to know where does Livvy Dunne fits into that mix? They don't really put a jersey number and/or names on the back of a gymnastic leotard, so I suspect that her 'sales volumes' probably would not amount to the same. But from a name and facial recognition standpoint, I suspect that she is more popular. I mean, I see YouTube videos all of the time where the creator doesn't even know how to pronounce Paige's last name - 'Buckers', or some weird 'Bee-u-kers'. It drives me nuts! I post negative comments in those video's sayin', "Hey fool, if you want clicks, at a minimum you should figure out how to pronounce her name!' [/QUOTE]
