College sports as we know it has to end because it was illegal and had a hypocritical pretense of fairness. People who feel an affinity for their hagiographic recollections of days gone by will mourn its passing, as will those who benefitted from its features (whether good or bad). Southwest Airlines used to be Texas-only airline with sex-kitten stewardesses. It's not just death and taxes; the inevitable includes change and responding to it with denial and lamentation. College sports are changing, not dying. Yes I know I used it as both a plural and singular collective-- sue me, grammar police.

With the women’s basketball 5 star picking OU over Texas it left me with a question about corporate NIL. Do the shoe companies and other corporate NIL companies offer different NIL compensation based upon where an athlete decides to enroll? Because that five star player will be worth a helluva lot more at Texas to them than at OU, I would think. She’s working her deal with Jordan and I would have thought he’d pay her more at Texas.

Texas is a Nike school. OU is a Jordan Brand school. (That’s why their football uniforms have a silhouette of a guy dunking a basketball)

She will be a bigger national name if she plays in OU’s offense. 

Caitlyn Clark became the (white) face of women’s college basketball while playing at fucking IOWA!

If you want to be a star while still in college, you have to be in a position to make Sportscenter highlights. That likely wasn’t going to happen for 2 or 3 years if she were to go to Texas. That will happen for her this November & December in Norman.

Plus, OU is a national brand even though it’s a podunk state. That is why the SEC brought them in.

Ah there’s the missing piece.

She chose ou because of 1) faster style of play (it didn't help them much this year)

2) Money. That's it.

The silver lining we save over $1m AND we're loaded  with 5* players everywhere, which is why we're a perrineal school looking for a championship, and ou just dregs along. Chazwv, who is good, isn't getting anything other than a recruiting win and may 2 more wins a season. She's no threat to us or anyone else in the SEC who is a power player. Good luck to her. We still signed the #4 player in Aaliyah Crump. Vic reloads.
