Texas Basketball NIL Questions

[jkates]

As NIL, revenue sharing, and the transfer portal redefine roster economics, it feels worth digging into how Texas basketball is structuring its strategy and whether we are optimizing. 

I am curious how others see it. What questions should we be asking @Gerry Hamilton about our NIL structure, priorities, and competitiveness?

 

Budget

What’s the estimated total NIL budget for Texas Men’s Basketball this season, and how does it compare nationally?

Can you break down what portion is revenue-sharing vs. collective funding vs. individual deals?

 

Players & Recruiting

How much NIL is reportedly being targeted at high-value players/transfer portal targets?

With so much attention on NIL and the transfer portal, how is Texas approaching NIL differently for incoming high-school recruits versus transfer portal targets — and how does that shape recruiting priorities for basketball?

 

Competitive Strategy

How does Texas’ NIL approach differ from peers like A&M, Oklahoma, or national powerhouses?

If we are not going to pay top dollar for the top guys, what is the best lane for Texas to be in from an NIL standpoint?

 

Booster Dynamics

What hoops-specific booster engagement exists outside of the Texas One Fund? Can Miller get his own whale?

Are there any emerging organizations or funding vehicles geared specifically to basketball?

 

What else should we be talking about in regards to NIL?

The game last night, and comparing our talent level to Florida's, who also is a state school, raises questions of what we are doing compared to what they are doing in the realm of the above?

Not sure, but that should be the blueprint imo.  Florida has had quite a bit of success in hoops in the last 40 years for a school that is viewed as a football school.  6 Final Fours, 10 Elite Eights, and 12 Sweet Sixteens is not bad at all.  Have to figure out what they are doing from an NIL and roster construction standpoint and implement it at Texas.  I think Sean Miller is the right guy from what I have seen this season.

We are not even close to the Gators in talent right now.... The gap is wide.
