They sure do! Soccer will eventually become huge in America. Especially with the world cup coming in 2026! The hype was around in 1994 which helped create the MLS. Excited to see what this world cup will bring to America.

It matter what “huge” means. I don’t see television ratings ever being “huge”. Just because an 10,000 seat stadium is 3/4ths full, it isn’t really “huge”. Hockey has had larger numbers on occasion too. Soccer in America will never be “huge” in my lifetime (10-20 yrs), and I question whether it will for a long time. This isn’t Europe. The NFL will always hold “court” in America.

K-State has a higher amount of donors than WSU and they can't even sniff deals like this. Long road ahead for the Shox.

So college sports are a bidding war now? I mean, wow. Do the schools even matter at this point?

LifeWallet is based in Miami and they are absolutely destroying it with nil deals. Twitter account is just an ad with Miami players.

Seriously trying to think of local companies who would even be willing to do this. Do we even have anybody willing to bankroll the Shox like this? I can't think of high revenue companies that would play in this pit.

And that’s what you call establishing the market

Nope. Pizza Hut money is old news.

Shocks is fuc*'d.

Life wallet which is under the umbrella of MSP Recovery LLC. It appears they make their money servicing Medicare billing. The government is funding these deals. If that doesn't make you sick, not sure what would.

I'm guessing it will bring many more pink and blue haired, nail polished girly boys.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

So, I gotta ask the question…if the school is making “all this money off the players”, why is it that most of the posters on ShockerNet feel the athletic department is basically bankrupt? We can’t have it both ways.

Saw an article KU currently has 500k total in NIL initiatives in total for their student athletes. Am I crazy in saying that’s not an impossible feat for WSU? Or is the money just not there
