This is actually awesome. She has no real future earnings potential outside of this so if some rich donor wants to pay her that’s absolutely incredible

I am not blaming her in the least bit. I am merely pointing out the craziness of NIL with no guardrails.

Didn’t go far enough to see if she graduated before TT. If not, a TT degree is……like…….WAY BELOW a Stanford degree.

Not a million in the bank below, especially for whatever student athlete degree she was getting

I’m guessing Stanfords student athlete career fair is a little higher end than techs.

She transferred after her sophomore season.

I don't know how much transferring changed whatever her lifetime earnings was going to end up being, but TTU is giving her a one million dollar headstart on it for just one year of softball. And her name alone now is probably worth more than the Stanford degree. Seems worth it to me.

if Texas Tech bought the best team money can buy over the next 5 years and won 3 national titles, would the sec leave them in the big 12 or poach them and send miss state our way?

Leave them in the B12, the big dogs in the SEC need the cupcakes.

Completely agree with this. Good for her and if someone wants to pay $1M with the current rules, that’s fine. But this clearly isn’t paying for NIL and is just pay for play.

Paying for her name to be on the back of a TT jersey duh

NIL is taxable. How hard can it be to unearth the amounts paid?

Great point. And they also have her image on the athletics website. It all checks out!

This isn’t necessarily directed at you but i still get a chuckle when people bang the table for true NIL and not pay for play.

It was always going to be pay for play from the second it went into effect. It’s a little naive for anyone to have ever thought otherwise.
