re: Misconception about NIL money vs WNBA money according to Aliyah Boston

Well, Reese makes money because of her personality on a big platform. The platform will be smaller in the W and she probably won’t be the star player she is now. She’s not going to suddenly quit making money off social media, but she’s going to slowly lose relevancy. She will be less popular in 5 years than she is now. It doesn’t matter if she believes this or not. Nobody believes they will come back down to earth when they are at the top.

I think this is a very fair assessment for Reese. Clark is more marketable but I agree her peak will be between now and the end of the Paris Olympics in 4 months.
However the one thing that no one has mentioned is the option to play in other countries. Salaries are down after the Ukraine war and Griner being imprisoned, but the top remaining leagues pay a lot better than non-national NIL deals.
I realize maybe 4-6 players have true national NIL deals and I think the OP is valid in his predictions for those players, other than maybe Clark

That is very stated. It’s not bitter or mean it is just a fair and reasonable prediction. I think women should stay as long as they can in college. Especially the marketable ones.
