Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3990930, member: 7511"] “Take Paige out of a UConn uniform and few would know who she is.” Really? WBB fans around the country have been following Paige since 8th grade. Geno knows NIL is inevitable and he is taking steps to protect UConn WBB by supporting it. If UConn doesn’t support NIL, and schools around the country do, UConn will undoubtedly be at a distinct disadvantage in recruiting and retaining top players. I suspect Paige hasn’t said a thing to Geno about money. But awhile back her mother indicated that Paige staying in school for 4 seasons might depend on whether or not she can make some money. I don’t think that was idle chatter. As I have said before, there are already “back room” deals in college sports. NIL will do a much better job of bringing everything out in the open. Please take some time to listen to Senator Slap’s podcast. He does an excellent job in laying out the issues. For instance, players will be required to submit contracts for review to a compliance officer to insure that those contracts do not run afoul of the rules. UConn has already hired a consultant to review such contracts. [/QUOTE]
