$200K is too low of an estimate. It’d be more like $350K-$400K, at least. She has a huge following and shoe brands know it

So she should go pro right now. Huge risk to potentially lose millions by waiting.

She wouldn't pay for any if thise things as a pro. Y
So you're saying that as a pro she will not buy her own food? What about her house? Pros in other sports buy their own homes. Do you think that track athletes are unique? Coaches don't work for free, you know. Someone is paying them.

the catch is that not only one shoe brand knows it, just imagine how much adidas proposes, then nike will top that, ON cant afford to double nike's offer, but on the other hand PUMA can triple nike's offer just to get her.

lets talk about popularity, most pros get contracts based of their college performance but for some, popularity plays a big role and tuohy can play her cards because she has an enormous following and shes also one of the most successful college distance runners
on my channel only, a freakin youtube fanpage theres 36 million clicks and engangement on the videos uploaded only in the last 12 months, an additional 1.5 million clicks on photo posts, and an additional 4 million clicks on the shorts
name me another distance runner who gets this much attention on youtube?? YOU CAN'T.
Semi, you should negotiate a piece of her pro contracts…she owes some part of her popularity to you, lol.
KT has made great decisions to further her career, to date. No doubt she’ll make the right decisions regarding pro timing and where to go based on council from family and friends, rather than internet advice.
Maybe no doubt for you but there is for me. I think she will wise up amd go pro right after indoor.

I meant ‘no doubt’ she values counsel from family and friends over internet advice, especially since she’s indicated that she doesn’t read LRC threads, lol.
Okay. We all agree that she values advise from friends and family. But if she doesn't go pro now, she is taking a huge risk. Imagine somebody offering you $2.5M today or the chance for $4M in the future with the alternative being nothing.
Tuohy is from Rockland County, New York; I seriously doubt I couple hundred grand is going to make a big change in her life. Rockland County athletes get college degrees and why would she walk away from college life to get her but kicked on the pro circuit.

There is insurance for possibility of injury, that would probably not be that expensive. She could, hypothetically, take out insurance for that during her remaining time in college. So the possibility of injury should not be a deciding factor as to whether to turn pro ASAP or not.
You believe she can call an insurance company and ask for a $3M policy in the case that she gets injured and it wouldn't cost much?
Oh yeah, every 20 year old there earns $200K per year.

No, but every 30yr old does. Only problem is small houses start at $1 million, so it's a tough start for young people.

I believe that WHEN it does happen, she’s a $1 million + per year earner.
No sponsor is going to pay her $10M over 10 years. How many more shoes will they sell?
The higher that number, the more logical to sign now.
Median household income is $100k. Median house $475K. Why do you guys make stuff up?

have it negotiated and included as part of the NIL deal
NIL is one year. She could sign with On or Nike to go pro. Adidas isn't insuring her for 10 years.
