As of this point in time, there are no blanket NIL deals in WBB that I’m aware of. However, there are blanket NIL deals in men’s football that appear to be pervasive among Power-5 conference teams.
Thanks. I was thinking, in terms of Fairness. I know "life isn't fair', however,some functions should be FAIR. It is obvious, all players are not as well known as others, all are on the same team. Popularity (for whatever reason) tends to dictate who gets what level of NIL.
Personality 3 daughters in HS. 3 high on academic standards. One plots for 3 years, checks all the boxes, gets the Candy Stripe volunteer job, contests, Harvard. Now she could pay a chunk of the National debt. Other 2, MIT and UConn. Army Col.and State Dept Analyst, nice maybe fun jobs STEM educations,? Engineering, Law, A.I. Personality dictates focus, dedication. If you must succeed beyond your wildest dream that begins in High School with focus on the requirements to get you to where you are going . Then don't lose focus.
It looks like the Texas Tech women have a blanket deal..
"Caroline was a freshmen and probably had not done many interviews at the time"
These alumni collectives are ubiquitous in big time college football. This is the first I’ve heard of it in WBB. In some ways it is the polar opposite of NIL where athletes like Paige are paid based on their commercial appeal as influencers. These collectives pay athletes for just being on the team with no particular concern about their marketability.
Ok. You guys can make her shy if it fits your narrative. Inexperienced maybe?
I believe that only US players are eligible for the $25K, so if they have any foreign players they get shafted.
And from Texas!! That place is like it’s own country. I think they want to leave the Union .
