Not to argue with you but where did you hear the NIL stuff?
I hope to God it's not from OUI.
Those dudes are clueless as hell. I've heard Drumm say OU has plenty of NIL. Again, clueless. It lacks context because Drumm has no earthly idea when it comes to the CBB landscape (what other programs have in NIL).
OU is very much at the bottom of the SEC in NIL right now (poor ol' Ole Miss is money-whipping OU for basketball)...just like they were last season in the B12. OU did get more money but so did a lot of other programs.
According to most anyone who actually knows, OU's NIL was around $1M for last year's roster. I would guess they have $2-3M this season. The problem? There are schools out there paying some kids over a million (see: Jeremy Roach at $1.4M). OU needs another $1-2M. OU's still at a major NIL disadvantage.
And that's not taking up for Moser/staff. They suck at using the NIL they do have. I'm not sure I'd want to give them more. I'd rather put the money toward Moser's buyout at this point. What an absolutely clueless staff.
