Who doesn’t like making money? The Kentucky Women’s Basketball players certainly do.
With the addition of name, image, and likeness (NIL), college basketball looks a lot different. Players such as Uconn’s Paige Bueckers and Louisville’s Hailey Van Lith make more money from social media than some WNBA players do from their yearly salaries. Now, the Kentucky women’s basketball team is getting in on the fun.
“The NIL has just been a great opportunity, I think, for all players in the nation; using their brand and stuff to make money and build who they are and just make a statement for themselves,” Blair Green said during SEC Media Day on Tuesday.
