NIL: Texas Upping its Game

[Bobby Burton]

Texas continues to up its game in the NIL space.

As many know, the Texas One Fund, the NIL collective of choice for the Longhorns, raised millions of dollars over the weekend via a two-day charity event, including a golf scramble on Friday morning and concert and silent auction Saturday evening.

Well, the group isn't stopping there. Later today, Texas One Fund will announce another corporate partnership in addition to ones with Benchmark Bank, Covert Auto Group, Ticket City, Brown Distributing and the Oak View Group.

We caught up with Patrick "Wheels" Smith, president of the One Fund, over the weekend for an interview. Make sure you check that out either on YouTube or via Podcast.

@Bobby Burton something has had my head going with all this nil talk. When will Texas start spending with the big boys in baseball? Also how does LSU compete so well on the baseball side of nil but not football? That's a bit of a shocker

Marruci Sports is LSU’s big NIL baseball person. Big name in the industry.
