NIL deals are coming in clutch for college athletes like Paige Bueckers. The UConn star gifted her teammates a late Christmas present after a Magic vs. Knicks game at Madison Square Garden. Even though she is battling injuries, she is kind and gives to her teammates when she can. One of the many NIL deals Bueckers has, Verizon, was there to help her entire team and gift them iPhones.

Everyone was surprised when Bueckers came in with the iPhones. Knowing how important and expensive phones can be, this is more than a gift. It is a necessity for everyone because technology is so advanced nowadays.
