she would be taking a pay cut going to the WNBA

If she stays for one more year she will surpass Simone as best women’s basketball player at LSU of all time

That is so insanely stupid it’s hard to know how to respond.

NIL deals are more lucrative than WNBA contracts

She doesn’t lose her NIL if she goes pro. They just call them endorsements!

Tigers4Lyfe•9 months

Endorsements in the pros don't compare to NIL at LSU.

NIL in WNBA is not as attractive or popular as college players. Great college players have better visibility and popularity than WNBA players.

No kidding. This wasn’t ever a real choice. NIL made college more profitable and lower risk.

Great news! Good mix of veteran players and the #1 signing class in the country next year. Throw in the transfer portal and We should be in great shape. That’s how you do it, coach!

I think she likes where she is at. Isn’t she dating Chris Hilton. Making plenty money from NIL and performing. I really don’t know why anyone in her situation would want to go to WNBA. She has much better options

Flau'Jae + (4) 5 star freshmen and a big to be named later = Natty!

I didn't think for one second she was going to the WNBA. She makes more money through NIL. The WNBA lost $40M last year despite being the most popular season terms of ratings. I assume its just a write off for the NBA owners who have WNBA teams? Otherwise, I doubt they would take a loss... just because.

Any NIL in the pros are miniscule compared to what she can draw in at LSU.

OrangeCurtainTiger•9 months

There is no NIL in the pros. They turn into endorsements.

I know I've seen her Experian ad about a million times this NCAA tourney. I don't know how she'd get all that more exposure in the WNBA. Probably less.

LSU loves Flau’Jae, we just need a BIG and a better Point Guard! M.Williams, Flau’Jae, #1 Recruiting Class, but still need a BIG!!

Why does people bring up NIL when a player is deciding between returning or turning pro. Flaujae has national sponsorships. She will keep those whenever she leaves LSU
