I saw where Caitlin Clark will be making around $76,000 as a base salary in the WNBA. Her NIL money dwarfs that figure. How much of it she'll keep, when going pro, I don't know. It makes me wonder how much of it is more of a local offer to entice her to have played for Iowa, and how much of it was on a national level, and would have been paid, no matter where she played. I can only guess at this point.I see the money as a two tier thing. The local NIL money, that's surrounding the school's program, and the national NIL money, which is a separate ball game. That's what makes this entire issue with Storr such a mess. Is he talking to the national NIL people about that $1 mill? Then, are the NIL people at Kansas saying they can come up with $750K locally, and another $250K could come from national ads? It's so messed up....... a real cluster.I wonder how much Storr got this past year with the Badgers. I don't think it was that much. Anyway, not in those mega-bucks ranges.In the end, we're going to see this whole thing explode in a few years. It will take some time, but as teams drop out of DI ball, because they can't pay the freight, it's going to have a big effect on what's left. Those remaining will be a pariah to the rest of college sports.</blockquote>
