I think some on this board don’t understand how these NIL deals work in most states and cities. It’s the cities and areas where a school is. Tennessee literally offers some of the most lucrative, across the board deals for all female athletes that there are in the entire country regardless of sport. The recruits know this. Why is this not recognized here? Also, these kids can get the deals they want no matter where they go. It rarely depends on the school for the top kids. They can get $100k to $1million dollar deals in high school BEFORE they pick a school and regardless of where they go. Also, there is very little incentive in women’s basketball to steer a player anywhere on the AAU or summer prep circuit. Literally none. I’ve coached girls recruited by Pat Summit, Geno, Kim, everyone, and no one has ever offered me money. It just makes the fan bases look stupid and petty to think this is rampant in women’s ball or the reason a recruit was lost. . There is no incentive like in the men’s game. NONE. There are plenty of other reasons and negative recruiting is legit, but money doesn’t mean much in girls recruiting. The coaches and families will rarely see a dime, and they know this.
