HVL could be first off the draft board and she still wouldn’t the money she is making now. Theres no reason for her to go to the WNBA.
Not sure how many times this needs to be said, but the NIL deals don't necessarily go away once they leave college.

They absolutely don't just go away. However, I could see how the interest and marketability could be much less for a wnba player over a superstar in college.
Massive difference. Now someone like Clark is going to be highly in demand no matter what, but some of the other college stars will probably have better NIL deals in college. Way more college interest.

Of course a few may be making a decent amount on the side but most money is tied directly to boosters who want these athletes at their college.
Also, the average American couldn’t name 5 players in the WNBA. This little bump in women’s basketball viewership is solely due to the generational talent Caitlyn Clark.

This is one of those things that are true but don't mean as much as they seem to. NIL sponsors might not cancel a contract the the minute a player goes pro but it's naive to think they're going to continue longterm after the player disappears into the oblivion of the WNBA. This is all based off the Boston girl's comments but how much NIL was she pulling in in college? She was a great player but it's doubtful she was even approaching Reese/Clark levels.
