Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 5293753, member: 7511"] Growing up in Stratford, CT as a great fan of Bertha Tickey, Donna Lopiano and Joan Joyce, I should have known better. Canady is a fabulous pitcher to be sure. But my point is that a couple Texas Tech alums trying to win a national title in softball by dumping $1 million on the best pitcher in college softball is a sign of extravagant NIL excess. Like you, I am also concerned whether or not the NCAA settlement will keep “alums with deep pockets” out of the recruiting of top athletes. Joan Joyce played professional softball for 21 years and then professional golf for another 18, and I’m not sure she earned $1 million in total. Oh the times they are a changing. [/QUOTE]
