Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 4054730, member: 5823"] Color me skeptical and among those who are doubtful that heavy social media following can be monetized for the vast majority of NCAA athletes even with the new NIL rules. Us fans tend to significantly underestimate the amount of time it takes to be a high caliber student and athlete. Sure the Alabama quarterback and some other players are going to collect some dollars but what will that do to the team dynamics and is anyone other quarterback in the SEC in for even close to a similar payday. It is also noteworthy that Paige had a heavy social media following prior to her arrival at UCONN. Paige has become the best player in WCBB and despite that elevated stage of UCONN WBB has received 1 NIL endorsement according to published reports. It is extremely hard for me to believe that ONO, Nika, Aaliyah who did not have nearly the social media following as Page are suddenly in for a windfall or fortune because of NIL endorsements.
