Can you tell us where it’s going so we can gauge our hate?
Not only that but the bigger schools have kajillionaire donors that UConn doesn't seem to have. For example, when Penn State wanted to build a new hockey rink on campus they got Terry Pegula (owner of the Buffalo Sabres) to drop $110 million to build a new facility better than anything in our entire state. No haggling with the state, no trying to figure out where they would get the land, just boom plopped a big ol' brand new hockey facility right in the middle of campus like they were installing a new trash can. Same deal with Oklahoma State. When they wanted to upgrade football facilities, they got T. Boone Pickens to open his fat wallet to get it done. Another example, Clemson's ridiculous new facility that's half amusement park half athletic facility. These are the schools with the big time money to pay for the best facilities and top recruits. The potential for recruits to earn the most money at these schools because of NIL will just widen the gap.Oregon and the Nike Corporate is only 90 miles up the road.

What has she done for UConn and the women’s game? Anything that Sue, Maya , Stewie or the White Mamba haven’t ? Fill me in please.
Charlie Ferraro gets 0k...
lol
Yes, I don’t know what she has done for the women’s game and or UConn that hasn’t already been done. Why you call that a problem, I have no idea.
Come on, you have making the same statement again and again in different threads. I feel tired for you. And you make me feel like you're salty when Paige could earn much at this stage.
So why doesn't someone just answer him then? Should be easy enough to list all of the things Paige has done for women's basketball and UConn. FWIW Geno said "she [Paige] deserves everything she gets for what she has done for the team." He didn't elaborate, but he sees her every day and I don't think he would have said that if it weren't true.
Paige won all the national player of the year awards for which she was eligible, namely the AP Player of the Year, the Naismith College Player of the Year, USBWA Women's National Player of the Year, the Nancy Lieberman Award and the John R. Wooden Award as a freshman which something that none of Sue, Diana, Maya or Stewie did.
Agreed. I have said that she hasn’t done anything yet. However that was in regards to winning championships. I don’t believe in honoring potential. Potential just means you haven’t done anything yet.
Pulido >> Paige.
So that somehow make UConn and women’s basketball better. She deserves all her awards. Those are individual awards.
Don’t know about that but Pulido fans are a lot quieterPulido >> Paige.
Lol, uh individual awards in a team sport. And yes having the last season's top player in country most certainly makes UConn basketball better. And having a high profile kid as the face of the sport makes woman's college basketball better.
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.

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.
