I was under, apparently, the misapprehension Ayoka had had some procedure already and it wasn't fully effective. I couldn't find any indication that this is the case and that this surgery may be the first major medical effort to correct her woes.

Ava and her mom are now out of the hospital and are home. Very cool that whatever happens Ava is still getting her ride to iowa no matter what happens regarding her ability to play basketball.

The road to recovery continues for the Jones family after a July 5 crash in downtown Louisville. For Amy and Ava, it meant weeks of surgeries and rehabbing injuries.

Not sure how much cash American she will actually net from her deals with Topps (trading cards) Hy-Vee and H&R Block but it's interesting that she's getting deals with real companies for products and representation and not just being given cash to her by a collective of boosters. She is wildly popular so she is one of the stars that will get "real" deals. It's not the same as one and dones in MBB getting paid for their one year for faked up appearances and autographs.
Saw the NIL article below posted on the Gophers board, an ESPN computation by Myron Medcalf of college basketballs most marketable players, combo list of women's and men's players. Aliyah Boston topped the list. Clark came in at #4. As many gals as guys on the list with some of them having HUGE social media followings meaning they have real fans beyond the ones in the stands of their team. I've found it interesting how big the "followings" are for many of the gals. Oddly absent from this list is a big NIL earner with monster social media following, Paige Bueckers. Medcalf left her off because she won't be able to play this year but she is a top NIL deal maker across all of college sports, not just WBB or overall hoops. He explains it but still an odd justification to me.

The Big Ten women's basketball player of the year is an automatic bucket no matter where she is on the floor, which is why she has attracted praise from the likes of Steph Curry and Kevin Durant. The major brands have noticed, too. The junior currently has deals with tax preparation company H&R Block, trading card company Topps and supermarket chain Hy-Vee, all contributing to a reported seven-figure income off NIL.

A year into the NIL era, which men's and women's college basketball players stand to make the most bank, and why?

Those practices will be interesting. Well, I guess (assume) they have a guys practice squad they work with, since most colleges do these days.
I hate Baylor.
They are the definition of hypocrisy.
They way they treated BG and the FB rapes.
No class at all.
Absolutely shocked that a coach who said "If somebody around you and they say, 'I will never send my daughter to Baylor,' you knock them right in the face" after a massive SA scandal involving their university's football team might not be a good person. Likely saw Griner as little more than a means to an end.
After the football scandal Baylor had two 7-6 seasons and one 1-11 season before they were right back in the Sugar Bowl.
After the basketball scandal in 2003 Baylor had 4 losing seasons before they were right back in the NCAA tournament.
Kim Mulkey and all of her drama.
They wonder why we hate them, a school with that amount of baggage that suffers no consequences for their actions and still wins conference and national championships.
Well, as if we didn't need anymore to hype the game in Iowa City. Both teams are picked to win their conference, both team's marque players are picked to be their leagues player-of-the-year.
As Johnny Orr would have said, this could turn out to be a "real humdinger".

I truly despise going to their arena, but I'm sort of tempted to go this yr.
I'd pass. Might be a sellout and it is on TV. This is going to be much see TV for WBB overall, not just fans in Iowa or fans of the two school. Like it or not, Clark is a one of the top faces of WBB and this a big chance for ISU to get some attention from the casual fans.
Man, I wish my hometown Gophers were not mired in the 2nd division of the Big 10. Would like to see something competitive when they play Iowa.
Well, they go even if they don't love the building. Iowa was #5 in WBB attendance last year. I know ISU fans like to diss everyone else's attendance but they out drew us in the NCAA again last year by 2X with sellouts for both of their games. If this CyHawk matchup isn't a sellout I will be a little surprised.
Are you talking tickets sold or actual butts in seats? I know two season ticket holders who go to every game and they say people are not there.
