WCWS championship live updates: Texas vs. Texas Tech. Game 3 score, schedule and today’s latest news

Texas Tech star pitcher NiJaree Canady, the first softball player to land a $1 million name, image and likeness contract, has signed another seven-figure deal to return to the Red Raiders next year, a source briefed on the deal confirmed.

Canady’s deal is north of $1 million, the source said. The Wall Street Journal first reported her new deal.

About a year ago, the Matador Club, the Red Raiders NIL collective, paid Canady $1,050,024 to leave Stanford and head to Lubbock, Texas, for one year. The $24 was for Canady’s jersey number, with $50,000 for living expenses and $1 million for Canady.
