Nobody cares about a non globally elite runner.
She’s also not like Dunne so she won’t get massive deals

Ok. So name a single distance runner people care about today? No one. Loll.

Jakob, Kipchoge, Bolt

Bolt is a distance runner? Talented. Loll.
No one even knows who Jacob and Kipchoge are except for hardcore fans. Sorry.

People don’t know the Olympic gold medalist?

What sport are you following? The average sports fan has heard of Bolt and past 100m champions. But beyond that, desolation. The typical sports fan has no clue even who won Boston or NY, not that the winners will not be banned for doping in a couple of years anyway.

Kipchoge has many multiples of KT's fans/follwers.

These new rules are BS. I had to pass up a bit of money when I was in college to retain my eligibility which could have seriously helped me survive once I graduated. I easily passed up $5,000 plus its pennies now but at the time it could have really helped me not have to rely on family while I was reinventing myself right after school. It also would have prevented me from trashing my body running crazy distances that I was not ready for. I was an 800m/1500m man in college. I immediately won $2,500, $5,000, and then an additional
$2,500 in a marathon debut that I was not ready for all just to eat. Plus, the $5,000 I passed up I could have had $15,000 put away so I didn’t have work some stupid job as a bar back and waiting tables for survival. I eventually joined the military because I got sick of the rat race. Now it’s like here keep all the money you get. I might be alone on this, but I think it is bogus because for those of us that did win some pro track races in college and passed up the paychecks might feel like we got ripped off when now money is allowed. Don’t get me wrong I personally feel if you earn it you should keep it I just think it is a kick in the face to those of us that had to pass up our earned jackpots when we earned it fair and square.Poor you must b nice. 🎻
I think he just was unlucky with the timing, although I don't agree with his statement people Touhy's age are hard to deal with (later in the thread). So I have a little bit of empathy. But overall NIL is good if you can make it work for you. Tuohy and Parker also have social media clout too.
