to Nike is 3.5m plus a shoe deal. If more fans and tv start supporting the WNBA then her value there will change.

Caitlin Clark, how NIL is supposed to be done.

It's like all the money being thrown at Manning at Texas...

The only way this could happen is if the NCAA "owned" the sports, teams, players

You’re absolutely missing the point.
