After I bought my (one) ticket, I noticed the option was gone and like I said, there were only 10 left when I started my order. If you click on the actual seating chart for the floor seats, it comes back as an error or unable to proceed or something like that. Cool! Hope that's the case.

SIUE’s First Community Arena only holds 4000 maximum. If you really want to go, I’d say buy on line to guarantee a seat, I don’t see where you save any money waiting.

Huh... Why didn’t they have it set to begin with? I guess Chafeitz was booked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billikenbooster Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Does anyone have a sense of how much participation the BVF has in NIL compensation for the slu women’s basketball team? How do our numbers for NIL compare with other teams in the A10 and the Big East? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do our numbers for NIL compare with other teams in the A10 and the Big East? Most of the NIL for women comes from companies trying to cash in on the popularity of individual players. Caitlin Clark probably made more money in NIL last year than any male player you can name, but I don’t think any of it came from the Iowa NIL collective. Will this stay the case? I don’t know. A good test case to follow this year would be Gracie Merkle of Bellarmine, who is in the portal. She was injured last year, has 3 more years of eligibility. As a freshman, she had a monster season, averaging 15.1 pts and 11 rebounds a game, with 78 blocks. She’s 6’6”, and while averaging 70 percent FG shooting, she never tried to shoot a 3. It’s hard not to see how she could help a lot of teams. Will she get a big NIL offer from a school collective to play? I don’t know. It will be interesting to see where she ends up and what money she gets and where it comes from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, that’s the model for NIL in women’s sports, it comes from companies that want to promote a product or service, whether nationally or locally. Caitlin Clark got big money because of her playing, online presence, and personality. Julia Martinez got a deal with 2 Men and a Garden locally, much less money I’m sure, but something. Emily Gaebe from SLU women’s soccer got her picture on a Billboard in her hometown of Union promoting a bank. That’s how the model for NIL is playing out for women athletes. Will that change and you see more play for pay like the men? I don’t know, guess we’ll see how it develops.
