People were saying Somfai was fetching near $1M offers from other schools, and I seem to remember someone saying Stanford offered her a good amount to stay. Also, there was that sponsorship of Hotel Citrine. Was Somfai not on a student visa? Or are there loopholes to paying international players?(04-23-2026, 12:19 PM)JohnR34231 Wrote:(04-23-2026, 11:00 AM)mbdude Wrote: Alex recently joined a sorority also. embracing all aspects of stanford

Yeah, wonder what she found attractive about Stanford that Lara didn't.
It sure wasn't playing time.
Yeah - and, if I'm not mistaken, foreign athletes on F1 visas basically can't earn NIL $ other than passive income from endorsements, merchandise royalties, etc., which assumes such opportunities are cultivated and available. So if that was a consideration in this case, either such opportunities were limited, or then she left for (a) different reason(s), si como no?
