Is it NIL or is it just Tilman decided we were going to win and gave us a bunch of money??? Is there a way to know?
You know we will have the most expensive basketball roster next year, right?

Schools will start revenue sharing in August so every school can pay $20 million to all their student athletes. So everyone has an uptick in NIL funds. Texas Tech posted their distribution, which should be similar to everyone else. It was something along the lines of 90% for football, 5% for menâs basketball and 5% for everything else.
YesâŠthe University of Houston WILL be a top 10-15 NIL school when it all said and done
LARGE P4 public schools in LARGE marketable metro areas will have a SIGNIFICANT advantage over âbrandâ schools ONLY with donation bucket type NIL which is NOT sustainable
The large school(s) in
Austin
Seattle
Columbus
Houston
Dallas/Ft Worth
Detroit
Denver
Phoenix
Orlando
Miami
Oklahoma City
Salt Lake City
Will reign supreme, and the University of Houston will top 25% on that list.
Its that whole Big Market vs Small Market argument in the MLBâŠmore money opportunities in BIG markets
Just watch how many opportunity open up WHEN UH is a dominant program.
If you like those HEB commercials with select Astros and RocketsâŠjust wait till they create a Cougar edition!

I guess thatâs how/why small town OleMiss managed to raise over $10 million in NIL funds last year, rural Oregon has enough of a sugar daddy to buy them whatever they want, and rural aTm is considered an NIL super-power.
Eh?
It ainât like what you say.
Merely being located in a large market ainât the key.
If it were, then Georgia Tech, Georgia State, Rice, Cal, and Temple would all be NIL powerhouses.
THEY AINâT!!!
Itâs about having either a) HUGE fan bases that care enough about whether the team wins or loses such that they will all pitch in to fill the honeypot, OR b) a billionaire sugar Daddy like Phil Knight who is literally willing to make their college their own pro sports franchise, and fund it like a pro owner would.

JD gave us an update in an article a few days ago about the models UH is considering for revenue sharing. UH is considering an allocation of 68%-69% for football, 23%-25% for basketball, and everything else for all varsity sports. The rationale keeps UH competitive in football, but maintains UH as a national contender in basketball.
Thatâs exactly what I think. CWF can offer him something no one else can⊠the opportunity to be the starting QB on a P4 team in his home town.

If tech is putting in 90 for football theyre basically saying nil can fund basketball and their football is what drives the bus
All of this âcomittedâ to U of H is nice, very nice but we all know it wonât be official until he is enrolled in class.
He keeps being as good as he is?
We have no idea if a school is going to bring a blank check. More than likely it will happen.
How is his familyâs financial situation?
How much is it for him to change his mind?
We all have to look at these elite athletes as free agents. That is reality and good for them.
The notion of an athlete coming no matter what to a school is gone.
Look at pro athletes when they become a free agent. They can pick what makes financial sense to them. DIV 1 FBS or bball is no different.
Remember friends they are one play away from retiringâŠ

Exactly, I am not worrying I am just realistic.
Can we get you to use âUHâ instead of U of H? lol

Thatâs with any recruit we have had. We have lost some 4 stars out of the blue before. No need to worry. We have the coach, conference, facilities, campus, CFP & growing NIL.

Iâll never understand why people type out âU of Hâ. Itâs much simpler to just type âUHâ.

Thats the million dollar question right there
STOP IT!! Houston finally gets a top kid to not only commit, but actively recruit OTHER kids to come to Houston to play with him, and all some of you can do is whine and snivel about how some school will come and buy him out or whatever else! They had their chance, he picked US! GOD, some of yall are beyond pathetic!!! Instead of celebrating that he is coming here, you whine constantly that this might happen or THAT might happen. Longhorn fans would NEVER do this. AGGIE fans would never do this. I guess after he signs, Yall will whine about him transferring! REALISTIC? Realistically, he committed to HOUSTON! Not all those other schools. WE recruited him as a QB from the very beginning, unlike many of the other top schools. WINNERS expect great kids to want to play for them. and CWF is building a winning program here.
