Well sure other than all of that, and leading her team to final four berth, nothing at all.
First real answer/opinion. Thanks for manning up.
I want championships. Everything else is gravyWell sure other than all of that, and leading her team to final four berth, nothing at all.
I gotta say buddy it is weird how much you resent her success.
Nope, you've gotten plenty of other "real answers", including from me. Just because you don't like the answers doesn't mean that you haven't heard back from people.
Wrong. Yours was the best and concise. Others basically said she won a lot of awards so she is the second coming. Apparently I give you the impression I don’t like PB. Wrong. What I don’t like is hype and pressure before the fact. Bring home the NCAA trophy first.
Well if you can't acknowledge that she is a current - and future - terrific ambassador for the sport you have some serious perception issues.
Last time the Nil thread and this one the agency thread. I dont think there is ANY relationship with the champion title. I just want you to be rational. I am quite sure if I dont point it out and you may continue this way in the coming thread regarding Paige's first endorsement.
Nike and University of Oregon have a “firm” hand shake relationship. I dare say that not one of Oregon’s student athletes we be left out on the outside looking in on this NIL deal, especially the football players.Oregon and the Nike Corporate is only 90 miles up the road. Oregon and NIL go hand in hand and will do just fine.

It’s not bad yet. Wait until the season starts, and the holidays roll around. Players will be endorsing everything from soup to nuts.
Ok.
Ok. I just need her to bring a championship home.
Right!!! The days of gagillionair boosters having to resort to clandestine back room tactics to funnel money to players are gone forever. The new battle cry on campuses all across the country by student athletes now is: ”all you billionaire boosters, fans and supporters come on down.”
Stewie's freshman season was better than Paige's IMO for this reason. Stewie lit up ND in the national semi-final after the team went 0-3 in the regular season, and then pretty much took the soul of Louisville in the championship game. When it counted most, Stewie stepped up big time even as a freshman. Truly elite players can put their team on their back and carry them over the finish line if they have to.
Be careful.
I think that your premise that if you aren't on an championship team you are a bad player is a flawed one.
Never said that. That premise would be incorrect. I would go as far to say if you asked Paige and/or Geno, they both would say she hasn’t done anything yet. Too bad we can’t ask them. She is a killer and she wants championships. Nothing less. “Goats” win championships. Ask Any Goat. If you can show me where I said PB is a bad player, I will PayPal you 100 dollars.
Very true and wise words, however UConn has set a standard of winning Nattys and they expect it as do the fans. These new players and recruits often say “I wanna win 4”
For me, it was the 1963 Giants loss to the Bears that brought tears, particularly after Y.A. Tittle, my idol was injured.That's understandable for players and coaches. They have a great deal invested. To fall short of their goal feels like failure to them but we are just fans. As a fan all I invest is the cost of watching them play. I always get great value so every season has been a success for me. They owe me nothing.
I remember crying myself to sleep when my Giants lost to the Packers in 61 & 62. My investment was largely emotional but when you are a kid that's a lot and to me then 1961-1963 were failures. Nowadays I change the channel if they play like crap and wish they were relatively as good now as they were then.
