They also have burritos, bowls, and salads! We have two Chipotles in my town, though I think one of them may have been a victim of Covid and shut down.She must really like Mexican food to make a deal like that...........personally I'd be looking for more than tacos............
It’s now the business of basketball. Some will follow the athlete’s deals just like some follow the contracts that pro athletes sign. Others, like me don’t care. I watch the games. Don’t care about the deals, when their birthdays are, what they are eating, how many social media followers they have, love interests, videos of practices, yada, yada, yada. Play the game and make a freakin layup.
Don’t know about everyone, but Paige’s agent made it very clear that she is looking for endorsement agreements that will bridge Paige right into the pros. That sounds like a 5-yr deal to me.
Very few NCAA athletes get athletic scholarships, and even fewer get full athletic scholarships. So there are literally thousands of athletes in non-revenue sports along with D2 & D3 that pay either part or all of their college costs.
Presently, 14 UCONN women get scholarships. The average scholarship is over $25,000.
For time spent in 'Sports' yes, in 'Studies', I would not short change her !
Yes, but most NCAA student-athletes do not get athletic scholarships, and up until NIL, those athletes were prohibited from earning money in ways that were absolutely ridiculous. For instance, if an athlete also happened to be a talented musician, they could not earn money selling CD’s with their music on it.
NILs are business decisions....by both parties. It's probably why most of the high profile athletes are hiring agents - and some are hiring big time agents.
This brings up another legal/policy issue. NIL stands for "name/image/likeness", which seems like a more limited concept than saying, "It's fine if athletes earn money in any way imaginable." Is it now OK for an athlete on a basketball scholarship to have a job in the university library or a dormitory kitchen? What about a paid job ("internship") with a law firm in Storrs? Or a no-show job at a car dealership, which is provided solely because the car dealer is a basketball fan and wants to put some spending money in the athletes' pockets so that more of them will come to UConn?
OK, I agree that the average cost is over $25,000, but the marginal cost of adding a scholarship to a large university is not $25,000. An example (maybe not the best one), say you buy a package of M&Ms for $1 and there are 50 M&Ms in the package. The average cost to produce that might be 50 cents, but the marginal cost to produce the next M&M is not 1 cent. They roll those puppies out by the millions.
I believe it’s always been OK for athletes to work on campus or in a summer internship. The “no show” job was and is a violation.
So long as the work in the library or law firm was actually performed and the compensation rate was commensurate with the job performed, those jobs have always been OK. So NIL doesn’t change that.
Wearing glasses makes u a nerd? Uh ok
Like an athlete having a job watering the athletic field that just happens to have programmable automatic water sprinklers.
Shhhh! It’s not to late to investigate you lolLike an athlete having a job watering the athletic field that just happens to have programmable automatic water sprinklers.
And the NCAA has worn blinders to much of it for a long time.
