⊇Notre Dame Star Sonia Citron Rejects Multi-Million Dollar NIL Offers to Remain in South Bend

Notre Dame women’s basketball star Sonia Citron has made a surprising but impactful decision, rejecting lucrative Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) offers totaling over $13.2 million to remain with the Fighting Irish. The junior forward, a key component of Notre Dame’s success, reportedly turned down lucrative proposals from Duke, Alabama, and the Texas Longhorns, opting instead to continue her collegiate career in South Bend.

The decision shocked many in the college basketball world, where NIL deals are increasingly influencing player transfers. Citron’s potential earnings were substantial, with offers exceeding $13 million over multiple years, a figure that would have made her one of the highest-paid female college athletes. The offers reflected her rising star status, her impressive statistics (averaging 14.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists this season), and her significant contributions to Notre Dame’s success.
