Word on the softball reddit is that Canady is holding out for more money and hasn't signed to play.  The games started yesterday.  If she thinks she's going to get Tech money, she's in for a rude awakening.  This is laughable and why I say that's she's no where near the face of softball.  She's in it for herself, talented yes, but not trying to grow the game.  Most of the players in the league probably only make $45k ish and they're the best of the best.

It's a similar situation to Caitlin Clark making only $76k as a rookie when her NIL and endorsement deals were in the millions. The smarter move would be to play and get endorsement deals.

I can actually see her going back to tech. More money and rules be damned. Watch them blow up another sport.

Maybe she just isn’t as popular as she thinks she is and that is showing up in a lack of endorsement deals.

But her college coach said she was the face of softball (sarcasm)
