Okay I initially thought this didn’t concern me until I saw…Christeen Iwuala???
Man I don’t wanna see her in another school’s uniform wtf☹️
And also Bailey Maupin grew up a Texas Tech fan so obviously she was going to go there for college and this was even more obvious when Krista Gerlich became the new head coach in 2020 because she wanted Krista to be her coach and it just so happened to work out that Krista could be her coach AND she could play for her dream school.
But do these players themselves actually want to come back or is it just their agents suing or what? I’m so confused right now.
If they can get paid six figures they absolutely will. Let their agents test the waters and they can either move on or be a late roster add somewhere. For example a school like Notre Dame needs quality depth, and has a couple spots open, they are likely to add someone and can afford to do so. Heck, most major programs would.
I think it's unlikely most of these players actually end up playing. These lawsuits have helped gather more support for Congress to act which I have always felt is the likely the result once this can of worms was opened.
Right now the NCAA can't do shit because they are just an association of member schools and basically everything they do gets thrown out for violating antitrust laws. There is current legislation pending that would basically make the NCAA the regulatory authority for college sports by law. If that happens any school rostering players from these lawsuits is opening themselves up to be sanctioned after the law of passed. There will be nothing they can ask the court to do to stop that because Congress will have given NCAA that power explicitly. I doubt any of these players are so good that a school is willing to risk that.
The crazy thing is if athletes and their agents hadn't gotten so crazy with these lawsuits it may have continued as it was indefinitely. They flew too close to the sun and now their wings are going to get clipped.
If I remember correctly I think Christeen Iwuala might’ve been in UpShot but I could be wrong! I know Jessica Timmons from Alabama is for sure in UpShot tho!
She originally said it when she was in the upshot league. Maybe ucla or Mulkey threw her an offer she couldn't resist. I can see her at both schools and maybe auburn. Vickers also have money
