She made $1.7M with NIL deals, and college basketball is beating the WNBA in viewership, so she'll be more obscure as a pro. The maximum salary in the WNBA is only about $277k, so unless she can make $1.4M or more in endorsements, she would lose money by going pro.
This isn't exactly true, the numbers are correct but thats not exactly what they mean. The majority of her NIL money is national brands that aren't tied to BR or LSU. They will follow her wherever she goes in the W.
The issue with Reese, and why I personally think she should come back, is that as of right now she is not a lock to make a team. The W doesn't have enough teams and the rosters are too small so its a crap shoot every year that some really good players are not going to make a final roster. This is not a dig at her at all its just the reality of the situation, one bad draft move by the wrong team and Angel could find herself in Turkey or Russia next year. The companies behind her NIL deals are less likely to follow her over there. She should stay and spend another year making absolutely sure she is in the best position to be a lock to make a team.
