But what is big money? If a player was making $25k and another school would pay $60k, that could be tempting.They are losing some good players and a few starters but not great players who will get big NIL money. Their only 1st through 3rd team All-Big 12 is Heard and I heard she is staying. They could very well get more NIL but not any big payday. The gals like Olivia Miles might have gotten a lot of money but the tiers below are not getting the coin everyone seems to automatically think they are.
Hell, I changed jobs in my career for a lot less.
Plus, if a player is a young role/core bench player, having a bigger role at a new school might lead to more money in a year.
