Name - Nelson Jimenez
Affiliation -
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act, for recrods related on how much money your student athletes are making off of NIL deals from 2021 all the way up to now. Every single student athlete. UConn has more women sports porgrams than they have men sports programs, so I am curious whether or not despite this, the men are still able to generate more money off of name image and likeness. I plan on using this for research as well as for purposes in the classroom. You can email me at nelson.a.jimenez@gmail.com. I am not really in a good position to pay a hefty fee but depending on the price I might be willing to accommodate. The records could be sent via that email.
