im not really taking a stand behind the GO GET EXTRA BREAD ASAP, im just saying she would get nil deals and many companies would and are lining up for her ... but we all know how tuohy feels about the media... she doesnt even like posting on her instagram what more actually pose for a product.. not gonna happen w other brands but adidas nil deal in a year or two would be inevitable
Please explain how it’s smart to leave money on the table.
She could have free school, free gear, stipends, and thousands of dollars. It’s not one or the other.
Because she'll have to give up her time and energy to do that. They're not just going to pay her they're going to demand that she actively take part in promotion or commercial or pictures
And all that takes time to set up and time to coordinate and it's just not worth it because she's not a big enough name yet to command a lot of money
In a few years if she keeps doing well then things will change but it's just basically return on time and that it's a better investment to just focus on running right now than to wear herself out with doing promotional work at this point of her career
So, you’re essentially saying Touhy is so fragile that she couldn’t spend one Sunday afternoon doing a nature valley bar photo shoot, and then post maybe once a week about their products?
There are literally thousands of athletes taking advantage of their marketing power through NIL, many well lesser known than her.
How come no one recorded more of the race. All those people and all those cell phones and we just get another 5 second clip. Come on guys get your heads out of your asses
It’s a relief that a high school phenom chose a coach and team that was the right fit. So much talent is lost because that doesn’t happen. Good on tuohy and good on henes.

and yet, all the "smart" people on LRC said she chose the wrong school!

All right.... I'll explain it to you one last time... Tuohy is a big time talent who has future earning potential of millions of dollars...
Who cares what other athletes are doing. A lot of them are just getting paid pittance...
I mean some of them are getting a few thousand dollars and a select few are getting big time endorsements....
But tuohy is in a very rare category as she's not going to get a lot of money now... because she doesn't have huge name recognition...
...But if things keep going like they have been she's looking at being a huge college success... and then wi'll have the chance to get million dollar contracts because she will become much more known outside of just a small circle of the running world
So I'm just saying it makes much more sense to go all in on becoming the greatest college woman runner ever and getting a huge contract then wasting her time getting small paydays now
It's better for her image it's better for her future earning potential.... it's just better for her health and success
If you really think she should be chasing some small paydays... which is all she could get right now... you're honestly have no business sence and have no brains to think big picture
If she can become the greatest woman college runner ever she will sign for multi-million dollar contract with several companies right out of college
She might have a chance to sign like a $10 million five-year contract with several different companies... That would be total but still, it wouldn't surprise me if like through two or three companies she can get 10 million over 5 years
And you want her to chase a few thousand dollar Sundays
Right now she's not a big enough name for anything more than a few thousand dollars from endorsements
It's just totally nonsensical thinking and luckily she has the brains where she can sense the opportunity
It's different for tuohy. Because she's involved in an individual sport where earning a lot of money is going to be based on being the best in her events!
If you're in a team sport, it's just different. U r going to make money if you can make the professional level and it's not really about having to be the very fastest and try to set records and all that... It's more about just being in a system. I agree that 2E should think long term. I don't care what people say, all endorsements take time to set up and time to work out the logistics and I don't think she's going to get a lot of money right now compared to what she could if she maximizes her talents and success at this level!

$10m for 5 years? Maybe she’ll end up running much faster but 15:14 is no where near fast enough to predict such a massive contract.
I don’t know why LR posters are so obsessed with pro contracts. I want her to use all of her college eligibility and worry about becoming a pro runner after that.

Its comical that you feel you can speak to what’s “better for her health”. I also appreciate you saying I “have no business sence or brains” yet you misspelled sense 😂
Again, she can go “all in on being the best collegiate runner ever” AND earn money now. These can be mixed. Many do it.
Adidas and Nike aren’t going to balk at a contract in the future because she partnered with nature valley, Gatorade, and Jamba Juice in college.
I’m sorry you feel she’s too fragile, but that’s not the case.
Nevertheless, congrats to her for this incredible run!

This is exactly right! tuohy is in a very different category than a basketball or football player. They will be making money based on whether they can make the pros and be successful but it's not as much of a do or die based on level of elite times
If Tuohy can become a superstar at the college and professional level she will be making millions of dollars... If she only becomes a so-so level professional she will be making a few hundred thousand dollars at best...
It's just a much different level of differences between a record setter and a decent level professional... In basketball everybody's making millions of dollars sure some are making a lot more but it's not as much do or die in terms of earning potential... Go all in on doing something really special in terms of a college track career and it'll pay off more in the long run than chasing some low level endorsements!

Agree, 6 months ago she was running well in XC, but not threatening to win the large competitions. As of now she still has zero individual NCAA championships. She seems to be thriving in her current team environment. I can't picture that leaving that environment would be of benefit.

It's comical that you want to keep arguing for your completely imbecilic picture of reality
Bottom line is she could only make a few thousand dollars and it would take time and energy to do that
And you really can't seem to get it through your thick skull that in that same time another runner could be getting better than her and breaking her records or college records and doing something really special
And only one runner is going to get a really big distance contract... If she can become the very best ever she will get a huge reward for that
I mean are you really that dumb that you don't realize that any time and energy she spends on that stuff will only allow someone else to potentially be better than her
You really think that a lot of runners are making million-dollar contracts
If she can be as good compared to the competition as she was in high school at the college level... she will get a much bigger contract than anyone else
If she takes your advice and chases all these crappy endorsement opportunities that she has now of a few thousand dollars... for spending hours .... of her time then someone else will end up being better than her and she will lose out on millions of dollars
Honestly it's just ridiculous that you're worried about spelling and worried about her chasing a few thousand dollars... for hours of her time.... instead of continuing to be a record setter and making history and getting rewarded in the future with a big payday
And also having the image and Aura of someone really special and not just someone who chases every cheap opportunity in front of her for a few thousand dollars
She will be on the cover of cereal boxes and be regarded as a superstar not as someone who is worth a few bucks to some Small Time local companies
I just want to be clear I'm not saying that you are retarded but I think your business plan is retarded
You would make her like the character in Rocky doing crappy product endorsements instead of becoming a legend...
Honestly who cares if she misses out on making a few thousand dollars here and there in college... When the upside is becoming the best there ever was...
Genuinely happy to see this. She's had a solid career in college so far and endured a lot of BS from this and other message boards and social media. This is a serious breakthrough and elevates her another level. She needed this kind of a step up and now she's got it. Excited to see how the future unfolds from here.
Whenever I hear terrible advice on a tuohy thread. I always think it's the disgruntled dudek fan. He always wants to somehow cheapen tuohy... He just can't understand that she's a once in a lifetime talent... She is the best... She's not doing crappy commercials for crappy money and chasing every crappy nickel in front of her... She's a national treasure...we Will support her on patreon before we let her waste her time Hawking useless junk. She's going to be on stamps and have her face carved into mountains she's not giving up her Sundays selling granola bars
