Let face it, there are more and more schools and their boosters who have made a commitment to be more competitive is softball. Clemson of recent.
If any one of those believes that what they need for next year is one of our players as a missing piece to make it to the WCWS, she will get offered some NIL incentive and could end up on one of those teams. I understand it has not happened much as of this year, but NIL is new and trust me there are big time softball supporters at big time schools who will eventually chase our specially talented girls if they are good enough and wanted or needed at those schools to compete for a WCWS championship.
To believe otherwise is just naive.
