Im not really sure how they work so if someone could tell me it would be great
The vegas tournament
We can’t make the final. Alabama will be playing Oregon for all the marbles on Saturday.
Ok thanks.
We can play SDSU though if we can beat ND tonight.
UH is playing for third place in this tournament. Total NIL activities and compensation that UH is playing for is follows:
Third Place = $1.15M
Fourth Place = $1.1M
The difference between third place and fourth place is $50K.

These for pay tournaments become a real selling point to recruits. If your brand is big enough, you will be invited to these and your players get paid.

Hope we get in again next year. Wish it was not Thanksgiving week.
UH is in a 3 year contract to be in the Players Era Festival. Unfortunately they will continue to be during Thanksgiving since it is known as “Feast Week” with all the big nonconference Tournaments.

Next time we are champions? We could have been this year but somethings did not go our way.
They’re the future of CB I’d say (during November). I love playing in these types of tournaments. The back to back games really test the mental fortitude of the teams.

The college basketball tournament at Toyota Center in November/December should consider switching to a NIL tournament next year, similar to the Players Era Tournament. It would attract better teams and match-ups and with the added attendance, would make more money for the sponsors.
NIL really adds excitement for the players and programs.
Will Houston fans show up and contribute to NIL? There needs to be fan presence then advertising comes and then you can have sponsorship and NIL
Crowd against Auburn looked great on TV… And the announcers even said there was a terrific crowd on hand…
With a % of ticket cost to the players.
Just need a banger or city/ regional clash.
Good live TV gets the ads.
NIL just another acronym in this context.
Ticket buyer gives it little thought.
Love this new era.
CBB can offer huge games every night now.
