⭐ HIGHLIGHTED CHAPTER

🕐 19:50 — "NIL Has Undone Women's Basketball" | Coach Jared Zeidman drops data showing 4 of the 6 highest-budgeted women's programs are in the Final Four. Three of four spent over $10 million. His verdict: NIL has created a "Coke and Pepsi versus everybody" dynamic that's making the tournament less competitive and less exciting. This is the most important 6 minutes in women's college basketball all year.
