More out there like OL pounding expensive steaks at a TFs property.

This is a significant development for UHâs NIL. I will be watching for any potential blowback from other universities alleging conflict of interest. I am sure Fertitta and his team of lawyers have looked into the issue.
I would caution other universities to look in the mirror before throwing out conflict of interest allegations.
Boo-Freaking-Hoo!!!
LFG COOGS!!!

There isnât a coach or athletic director that doesnât cry poor about nil. I donât think I have seen a single one say they are pleased and think they have enough money.

Because BMDs, who support NIL, hold the head coaches accountable for their ROI.
Seriously doubt any State U of a Big 10 conference has less NIL than us
B1G 10 schools werenât on his final listâŠUTSA and Baylor were
Is Melton the early favorite in the annual OL vs DL steak eating contest at Taste of Texas? With the beef CWF is bringing in, owner Edd Hendee may need to take out a loan.
Just need valid NIL contracts in place. Forget board position, etc.
Fair % of the huge NIL guys in the SEC are on their board also.
The players contract for NIL as individuals. UH is not a part of the actual agreement.
Unless being on the team to get paid is in NIL contract, players who quit still have to be paid.
See QB Myles Brennan quitting LSU football & Baton Rouge car dealers, etc still paid for his NIL.
A conflict of interest from TFs board position.
-Awarding of the UH dining concessions solely to TF.
-TF getting the contract to build another hotel on campus without open bid process.
TF can light players cigars w $100 bills & hand out thousands Odell Beckam style at LSUs last natty if the paperwork is right. (would need NIL with however gets handed $)
Wade Phillips in on the fun last time.

I would like the AD to consider opening an âNIL Shopâ on campus where playerâs brands can be sold and earn money on each sale. Much like the Apple store, UH AD would get a cut to cover costs and the players make the majority of the sale.
Not sure if that could be allowed under current rules.

Donât they already do this for basketball or is it just online? I think Iâve seen them somewhere like the bookstore last fall.
They have college teletext section but itâs only basketball for men and women . Iâm pretty sure if their name is on it they get some of the proceeds

Love the idea. Probably one for the UH Compliance Department. If the contracted NIL company leased space at TDECU and sold UH apparel during games, why not?
Excellent idea Coach ! That way UH gets a cut and we control some of the market. As far as legal or not our Legal Beagles on this board could better advise. I am one who feels that if not expressly prohibited by the Rule âŠthen go for it !
Go Coogs!
