POACHING A PITCHER

By Bob Walsh

 


Texas Tech did something interesting a while back.  They poached a female softball pitcher from Stanford by offering her a $1 million NIL (name, image, likeness) contract.  And their team went from nowhere to the finals.  

The young woman, NiJaree Canady, is apparently THE hot thing in pitching.  Truly remarkable.  She is the first NCAA college softball play to pull down $1 million.  

The series final between Texas and Texas Tech is now 1 to 1 in the best-of-three series.  This game may actually be worth watching.
