Wow!

I don’t know about the other players mentioned but Alex Storako left Michigan after four years. She was a fifth year at Oklahoma, seems like she met her commitment to Michigan.

She definitely did, and she always talked about how she missed Michigan. I'm just saying she went to OU to win the ring.

I just hope college football doesn't become it's own thing and all the Olympic / non revenue sports go away in college.

I don't think that will happen. Or maybe it will happen slowly. For most colleges, football is the most expensive sport an is a money loser. I know colleges that cut other sports to focus on football.

I think it might be a good thing if the money sports became independent of colleges.

I'm hearing $300K

That’s a long way from when we played the Topeka Queens ‘01!!!

For sure. What an opportunity!

I’m hearing 500K. OU supposedly paid Maxwell 250K for one year. Canady should be worth at least twice that for 2 years.

The sad part is, perhaps naively, I thought this was about softball. The NIL money definitely makes the difference between the haves and have nots something that will ruin the sport. While I agree the NCAA and college have made money off these kids for decades, this just proves schools and couldn't care less about the education they're supposedly receiving. All it is to them is big business.

The rest of the D1 teams (other than the typical top contenders) should just give up then. They will never be able to recruit and keep athletes if some schools can afford to offer this type of money. Why even have a WCWS? The school that can pay the most will most likely win each time. That’s really disappointing.

Texas actually has more money and a better team than OU does now. Maybe Mike White pulled an Inside Straight on the river.

It will go the way of other minor league sports. People are going to stop caring and the money will go away.

And for the average SB player (which, let’s face it - the majority of college players are) that moment comes and goes VERY quickly. “Glory Days….”

Trophies do not buy houses, cars, or nice vacations. They don't help much with the rent either. Degrees from Stanford pay dividends. Now in football the NIL money can create life time financial security. Softball not quite there yet.
Oh, BTW, AC at most D1 schools don't make very much money and need another job to make ends meet. I don't think JT has another job though?
