Message: [QUOTE="cancontent, post: 4769109, member: 10709"] I'm not a fan of Overtime being behind this personally. The concept is great, but it's going segregate the landscape even further I fear. Here are my thoughts and questions: 1). It's being made available to a small group of select athletes who, while are very deserving, it's likely they have teams in place to support them in these areas. For example, the father of the DiPaulo twins seems to already have a gameplan for his daughters. 2). What's Overtime's long term goal here, a seperate league like their boy's league? That takes away a good portion of players away from the competitive high school landscape. 3). We're already seeing the battles between EYBL and UAA. What does this do to the teams who have these top players? 4). Will international talent, like the Prospers, Fourniers, Kovals, etc., get a chance to be considered? How will the invitation process work? 5). It will build a larger gap between those who can afford to have the resources to compete at this level. It's getting to a point where these kids are spending more to be ready for NCAA than it would like cost in tuition it seems, at least to me. What's the long term trade off? Making the pros in a space that's tough enough to crack as it is? Will the NIL money be enough to cover the investment? [/QUOTE]
