NIL Strategy

[cowboysooner]

I would like to hear what everyone's NIL strategy would be if they were in charge. Assumptions: (1) Middle of the SEC pack in funding (lets use 8-10 million), and (2) everyone that can come back wants to come back at whatever their market value in NIL is.

The Question is how do you spend your NIL budget? My kid's problem with Moser this year is he thinks he spent unwisely in the portal, with the resources he got. I disagreed all year, but in retrospect, he might be right. My kid (adult son and OU fan) thinks moser should have built his roster exactly like he did last year. Spend whatever he had to spend to get a legit Big and Legit (think fears) point, and then filled in with whatever he could fill in with. In other words, spend most of his NIL on 2 superstars. It does look like he spread his NIL spending across the roster, particularly on the 4 transfers.

So, if Moser gets 8-10 million to spend next year, how would you guys like to see him spend the money. I don't know who might be in the portal, but if you guys do feel free to use specific names/players. Hope you guys will play along.

As for me, I am changing my thought on this for this year. If I can get it done, I am spending no more than 50-60 my budget on the kids on the roster that can return. Forsythe, Atack, Rogers, Reed, Brown, Kirill (if he can), Holst, Mayfield and Nwonkwo (only if he comes back for next to nothing). Then, with the remaining budget, get two superstars, and if I can only afford one, then I would want one superstar. If Kirill can come back, I want that superstar to be a scoring wing. If Kirill can't come back, i would want a legit center.

If Jeff N returns for nothing, he is still being paid too much. Get that kid off our roster immediately.

We should expect nothing from Mayfield. Nothing from Holst. Have a hard time thinking Atak will want to stick around. Would like to keep Brown and Reid. Dayton would be fine to keep as a backup. If he is a guy you rely on for anything more than that, it is a bad roster.

What legit big did porter get?

Well well. The actual numbers for overall budget sure don’t paint us as being as destitute as Moser and his stans would have us believe.

Yep, we all can read. We also have all been told for years that our overall budget and support is terrible and the program is neglected and blah blah blah. Loser started here before NIL was a big factor anywhere -- and he sucked then, too.

Those are last year's numbers and do not include either revenue sharing dollars with players or outside NIL. It's primary operations numbers (coaching salaries, program personnel, travel, etc.)

At just over $13M, we're 10th in the SEC (maybe 11th depending on Vanderbilt-private schools aren't subject to FOIA requests). That's about where we are in other sports, give or take a couple of positions.

Yep. Take the emotion we all have out of it and you see why he’s doing what he’s doing.

Loved his take on the fan experience. I was talking to a former player earlier this year who told me his perspective was that the LNC was the same old building that he played in with the same boring fan experience.

Acuff was well worth his money… pigs have a good group but that kid is main gear

So that number is operational and does not include athlete revenue sharing or nil. Question I have, is porter salary is overall around 7.65 million a year, Is that all paid by basketball budget? If so over 50% of operations budget goes to the coach? Does seem someone is overpaid or operational budget is low. Probably a combo.

 

[pncparn]

He wants AT LEAST top half of SEC. Will make a huge difference. Imagine 2 more quality players on this years team!!

Porter makes around $3.3-3.4M. Not sure if it comes out of this number. I presume it does.

Porter Moser buyout, contract details as Oklahoma Sooners coach

The former mid-major hero has an uncertain future in Norman.

I would rather imagine one quality coach.

So 10th in the SEC last season and we finished worse than 10th in the standings -- with Fears. Went 6-12.

any summary or bullet point highlights for those who can't/couldn't listen?

 

[SoonerDutch]

OU could spend more on operations too but absolutely on-point to post a list excluding roster payments as some “GOT YOU LOSER LOVERS” about resource allocation. Especially when the list has OU as bottom half in the SEC.
