Message: [QUOTE="huskyd, post: 4006781, member: 6488"] Estimates for just how much Paige et. al are likely to earn from their NILs vary but range as high as north of $500,000/yr. When Slim left high school, she was a highly prized recruit; Azzi is even more so. By the time Fudd was in 10th grade, she was already regarded as the best h.s. player in America. No one could have anticipated that Paige would have one of the greatest freshmen years evah, but expect Azzi to bring it, too. Remember as this process moves forward that it isn't costing the NCAA and/or UConn a thin dime for these young ladies to cash in on their talent and popularity. No Husky can use any symbol associated with the university in their quest for gold, and all will have to wear the unis and shoes contracted by the school to use. No one can run around on the court in anything but NIKE. But these players will continue to make big bucks for the NCAA and for UConn. Their fame will ignite box offices around the game and will attract good out of conference teams to play the Huskies for the payday if nothing else. Maybe Dawn can create a new banner: “They Beat Us but We Made Money.” As I guessed a few posts ago, Azzi will now crank up her casual clothing business (already in place). Put me down for a red and black Fudd T if they come in men's XL to accommodate my post-pandemic expansion. Look to spend $15-20 on the Ts and twice that for the sweats. I'm saving up. So: Slim and Azzi look to earn maybe[B] $1 mil/yr. [/B]between them in the up-coming season, And [I]everyone[/I] wins: the NCAA, the university, and the talent that makes it all possible.
