Yet WBB and WVB players have many NIL deals.

Were those deals facilitated through the university or by the players?  Some of Stanford women's golf players probably have the biggest NIL deals.  I'm guessing those deals were mostly done directly through the players.  I know Rachel Heck has her own agency to negotiate NIL deals.

Did anyone read about the LSU female gymnast who has over $2million in NIL deals?  Needless to say they were done because of her physical appearance.  There were a number of national news articles about Tara's complaints these deals were done for the wrong reason.

You're talking about Olivia Dunne of LSU.  Her $2+ million per year NIL money comes mainly from sponsorships and promo contracts (American Eagle jeans, for example) that she models on her social media pages.  She's not showing any more than fans would see at a gymnastics meet.  And why shouldn't she monetize her beauty, as long as she doesn't sacrifice her values or self-respect?  It's not like there's lucrative pro gymnastics money waiting for her after graduation.

If anyone is going to take advantage of her physical appearance it should be her.  She's just doing what models/actors/actresses have been doing for a long time, i.e. using their looks to their advantage.  It shouldn't help her win a Rhodes Scholarship but I don't see any harm in her making some bank off it.

Just to put this discussion in context . . .

the 1970s called and want their bellbottoms and platform shoes back....
