Thanks for sharing this Burger.   It does paint both Tara and Haley Jones in a positive light, which is great for Stanford.  It's too bad that the NIL rule came about after Katie Ladecky decided to leave the womens swim team.   The NIL rules would have allowed her to stay on the Stanford team and still earn those 7 figure deals.  The cooperatives came about as a way to manipulate the intent of NIL and enable it to be used for recruiting purposes.   I continue to believe/hope that it will be reigned in and restructured, but right now it's the wild, wild west...or maybe the wild, wild Southeast Conference.
