Since this is Jana's last year, we'll need Brow comfortable for next season. I liked what I saw yesterday. Hoping Scott sticks in Waco--she will be wooed by NIL--she won't have to be back up PG if Ines activates. Hoping Scott and Deng have formed some loyalty with their former HC on the sidelines.

Of course, we will need replacements, but I would guess that with the departure of Bella and Buggs, more money will be freed up to keep Scott.

Yes, I suspect we will need to pay big NIL to keep Scott and she should be the priority. We also need to keep Ting. Can Ting even get NIL since she is international player?

Why didn't Brow play the last game. I thought she did a good job the previous game.

CNC also mentioned these things at the Tip Off Club Luncheon. We also got to hear from Jana, Ella, and KJ. Also heard some interesting stats.

Please share if you will.

Great reminder about record and need to keep things in perspective. Thx! Really like this years theme. This team seems to really like playing together.

Ultimately, keeping Scott is likely to be more influenced by other program's NIL budget than Baylor's budget.
If Scott gets an offer from another school that exceeds Baylor's offer by $500,000 (simply an example), she would be crazy not to accept it.

The rumbling is that WBB outlier NIL spending is likely to plummet as it becomes clear that some gifts were one time donations and not permanent funding. The House settlement $ distribution is important, but it is almost a certainty that uneven distribution between CFB, MBB, WBB and other sports is likely to lead to Title IX litigation (and injunctions limiting distribution models). That scenario simply leads back to private funding and that well looks like it is drying up. Replacing $1,000,000 (example) in donations annually won't be easy for most top WBB programs (other than maybe Texas and Stanford).

Baylor needs to do everything it can to keep her, but if a program gets Silly Money and decides to shop Scott the ability of Baylor to match is clearly limited. Harsh reality but reality.

The interesting item might be kids being paid $400,000 this season, have a great year, and then get offered $250,000 for next year because the donations simply are not panning out.
