His recruiting is not only about Montanti, It’s about other high level Oklahoma kids. If we do not recruit or go through some of the process with Oklahoma kids who are acting interested, that word will get around to other Oklahoma kids.
NIL is great for the students, and was needed. But also takes some of the I have to prove myself for the next level. If a player gets total of 2 million in college, dropping draft spots does not make a ton of difference. Specially if they feel they are injured. Long term health is key to...
We had several wrs last year that per certain sources ou trainers cleared and they choose not to play. I understand players not feeling comfortable with injury and feeling they are not ready. Mental part of injuries can be tougher the physical. But obviously need all hands on deck for OU to...
all contracts are for services rendered. That is what I see is problem with the College NIL. If they are not doing some kind of active advertising, speaking or selling by name in shirt, then the NIL is pay for play. No one is signing a contract to get money without knowing what they...
I get your point on nil for college. If no contract signed it may be different. But George Clooney is not doing his nil without a contract or research into what he should be paid. Heck William shatter signed a contract to come to Oklahoma comic con. NIL in every other situation is generally...
But these companies already do this with Hollywood for actors for movies, commercials, and pro athletes contracts. These are all accepted processes. Agree it’s never perfect, but there is a reason actors around same experience and draw get similar money for jobs.

Sampson explained it that OU got less to go to Top tier and had to pay more for the return visit. He was talking guarantee. May have changed, or maybe not everyone worked same way. KU UNC is different than OU UNC. But I only really know from the class maybe Sampson was trying to make it...
Sampson would come into a business class I took at OU several times during the year and discuss sports business. Examples he gave at the time that top teams were requesting hundred of thousands above the lower teams to play on the road. Maybe he exaggerated, maybe times have changed. But...
I give them a pass on ORU. Always good to play Tulsa and ORU.
With that said, how did oru fall off? NIL I’m guessing. Historically never really high but I would think 150-250 range and jump up years like with Max.
Sam presti talked about Blake being considered for the 4 pick in 2008 till he pulled out of draft. Okc got westbrook that year. I get freshmen pulling out, but benefits and negatives to both options.
I said it would not be possible. Borderline nba players are making more in college then they would being a late first round pick. My opinion that takes some of the improvement motivation, not all, but some. Just my opinion based on watching the game and talking to some coaches
