Lol. Nothing is more profitable than the outrage of middle-aged white guy.

I don't believe she (nor Clark) is eligible. But if she's already a millionaire through NIL, it's a tougher decision, isn't it?

Kinda wonder if she would sue for entry. It's been done (Spencer Haywood, Marcus Dupree, Maurice Clarett, etc..) She'd be hard-pressed to prove hardship, lol.

I'd be surprised though if least it isn't or won't be discussed.

If I'm reading the article that Mr. Coleman posted correctly, a little less
then half of her instagram followers came after LSU won the championship.

If she returns to LSU next season "those eyes will lessen" ,just based on
the lack of exposure woman's basketball gets during the regular season.

There are also no guarantees on what happens to LSU next post season.

I think she's at her peak, as far as "eyes" and endorsements from playing
in college.

How many of the endorsements she keeps will be contingent on sales.

If the WNBA thinks she's enough of a "commodity" ,to elevate their league, I'm sure they will make sure she's able to get in the league.

They'll also find a way to make financially beneficial.

With her talent and attitude , she'll attract an audience.
That's what the WNBA needs.
" Seats in the seats" and "eyes on the court".

I've had this discussion before, but I think for women - college is generally the peak. As far as fans and game interest go. Now with the NIL, its probably more profitable to be a college town hero than a WNBA "star".

I follow a young lady from Youngstown State on the gram (shes a looker) and she reposted a graphic from the horizon league that said she was the highest earner in the entire league (men and women) at $75K. And that must just be whats going through their collective. She averages 7 points. For a womens basketball team. In Youngstown. Making more than your average WNBA player.

Yes, I was there, but I'll have admit that I did not see Dwight's antics. I must have been watching another part of the court. I think from what's been said it occurred on the opposite side of the court from where I sit. What I'd like to see is having these taunts whistled as unsportsmanlike conduct and enforced as a technical foul. That would put an end to them pretty quickly. Like in football where you can celebrate with your teammates after a good play, but if you taunt an opponent you're likely to get a flag. The lines seem more clearly drawn in college football than basketball between what is celebrating and what is taunting. I think basketball needs to clean things up a bit.

Alan, I see you conveniently didn't answer questions about the taunting that has occurred in our games this year, sometimes by our players. If you're not seeing it, you're simply not paying attention when you're in the Convo.

Be consistent, no more selective outrage. If you have a problem with what Angel Reese did, you should have a problem with Dwight's taunting in the BG game. You should have a problem with bench stares and hand gestures towards opponent benches. It's all taunting, it's all unnecessary, and it has all become a part of the game.

Seems like apples and oranges again.

Running by rocking the baby or the stupid stuff players do after a 3 or a dunk seems to be just that, stupid stuff players do going back to the other end maybe deserving a tech or warning if it is getting over the top. What Ms Reese did was seeking out and harassing a player. I don't really care anymore as it is just all so much stupidity that detracts from their talent and accomplishments. Kind of agree with Swank that coaches should be teaching their players better manners and sportsmanship but in this day and age where "Me" is more important than anything else you can't say much about their behavior as a Coach. Mommy and Daddy will just take them somewhere where their actions will be lauded.
