New NIL deal for UH football

Let’s say UH Football starts out of the gate fast, with wins against UTSA and Rice. With proper marketing, local companies will want to jump on board with an NIL. Beat TCU, and UH beats a team that was favored and know known as “winners”. That is a marketing gold for businesses. Beat UT, and UH NIL explodes.

That is a lot of ifs, but something to think about.

Imagine the Coogs being 3-0 to start the Season. Then the gaunlet starts the following weekend-- SHSU :wink::laughing::rofl:. Beware of the Kats !!

I don’t see F500 as a good market for NIL. I think private companies and individuals like law firms, successful local business empires (e.g., Mattress Mack), and alums that have sold their business (that’s where Tech’s major NIL donor money is from) is more fruitful. The F500 world has way too much corporate governance and red tape for NIL deals.

Not to mention shareholders who scrutinize every detail of their annual 10K report.

Can’t remember which thread it was, but someone on here mentioned they had heard whispers from the UH brass that Tilman was pissed about the McCaskill situation and would be getting in the NIL game. Love to hear him say “First of many.”

How do we recruit big boosters. I think that’s what Landon and his group do i believe. Hopefully more sign up.

Pray for Wemby guys!!!

You might be surprised that he would do just fine. From what I have seen, he only gets irritated at stupid questions, officials making sketchy calls, and “fans” that think booing one’s own team is ok.
I am on CDH’s side on all of those.

Schmooze like there is no tomorrow. Work the prospective donors and explain why it’s best for the donor and UH. Give them a reason to donate.

Tillman about to burn the whole front office down if we fumble this season.

Fire the AD, give Sampson a raise, fire Holgorson, hire an aggressive AD, find the best up and coming coach and start throwing money at him until he relents.

Then throw a few stacks at the collectives and give them the directive to go get us some talent.

At the sweet 16 game, our NIL guy was working all the 50/50 members.

Honestly, these days, I could see UH bringing in some big money donors. If UH starts to have success in the Big12, I imagine there are a lot of people in town that would jump on board. Miami was that way.

“After further consideration, upon speaking with the head Football Coach, we have decided to burn the school to the ground for the insurance money.”

A huge advantage if / when TX goes this route.

There is a NIL bill currently in the Texas Legislature, HB 2804. It was engrossed in the House and is in the Senate Subcommittee on Higher Education. As of May 10, 2023, it was left pending in committee.

I am curious what UH’s view is on this bill.

The bill’s text: https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/88R/billtext/pdf/HB02804E.pdf#navpanes=0

This was the Witness List in the House. Texas A&M and Baylor. UT registered but did not testify. https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/88R/witlistbill/pdf/HB02804H.pdf#navpanes=0
