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?
