you are only looking at Bucket #1…not all NIL has to be reported, as part of a collective.
Some donors are anonymous, as in our recent QB deal, and other corporate NIL deals provide value in one way or the other.
Memorial Hermann, and Tilman Fertitta renovating Hofheinz DEFINITELY benefited our program + players
Yet to see a report suggesting that UH is an NIL powerhouse in football, but believe what you will.
yes…even with a new coach and incomplete roster…we were middle of the pack int he big 12…THEN we bought a 5 star QB and a ton of other NIL transfers.
Give it time…we ARE a NIL power because of the city we sit in.
You are only looking at collective raised figures…NIL is WAY MORE than that…most of it is anonymous.
I even provided a first hand example of us outbiddibg SEC school in our baseball NIL offers
As I said, we are, and will be a BIG “transfer portal” school.
Not seeing us as an NIL power at this time though.
Not sure what the future holds there though.
we can easily make 10% or 20% of a SEC school, like Ole Miss’ complete NIL Bucket #1 pot, with a single corporate NIL deal.
The schools that “live and die” from passing that hat around asking for donations will burn out very quickly. Their fan’s wealth is limited.
Bucket #1 NIL Collectives is not sustainable for 75% of colleges…those that can tap into Bucket #2 + a healthy Bucket #1 will reign supreme.
We can easily can fit into that category because of the abundance of corporate NIL deals in our market and especially if they are tax write offs or part of their marketign budget.
Yes, just look at the results and the roster talent and it’s obvious basketball is WAY ahead of football on all counts. I’ll believe we can compete in football NIL when we start getting top recruits and winning 9+ games a year. I’ve always thought the NIL era was not going to be good for our football program, and nothing has happened thus far to convince me otherwise.
We are in accord on that.
I sure hope that we can get a football NIL “sugar daddy” in the near future and turn that around!
You say that everyone can, but everyone clearly isnt. Maybe its not as cut and dried as youre thinking.
It’s certainly easier…simply in terms of TOTAL DOLLARS, to come up with money for a few basketball recruits per year than 25-30 football recruits capable of going up against the best from the SEC and B1G.
That’s why we have found a way to do one (as have schools like UConn, Gonzaga, etc), but NOT the other.
