If Betts is banking on =>$400k+, then she has to be the only star or one of two stars on an SEC/Big10 team. It’s not like EVERY player is making 6 figures; it’s usually just one star player. Azzi and Paige are the exception.

The landscape is changing though, especially given the ratings/viewership of the tournament and the growing popularity of the game. Next year has Clark, Bueckers, Brink, and Reese - all highly popular players - coming back and there are tons of young stars in the pipeline. It's going to continue to grow. It's probably a smart investment for universities/NIL collectives and rich boosters to put up some money now to get a game changer like Betts to transfer in. The return on investment for $500K could be a major win down the road. It'd be interesting to know how much in total went in to building that LSU team, from Mulkey on down. That's why I think she's going to end up at a place that understands the money game and knows what they're doing.
