The reality is NIL has infiltrated all the top college sports. Softball has become no different. I read an article yesterday that there are 132 college baseball coaches or programs scouting the Cape Cod Wooden Bat league this summer. Players are being contacted whether or not they are in the portal. This is becoming ridiculous and the NCAA is impotent in enforcement.
If UL Softball supporters want to continue to be a Top 25 program in this environment, they had better start contributing to NIL at UL.
