    With the "NIL" spending amounts potentially getting fixed with the House settlement, does it make more sense or is it easier to get a championship basketball team vs. football?

    For example, with 12 million or so, you can get a VERY good basketball team - fewer players, but I'm not sure what the return is to the school through the NCAA tournament.
    Football is obviously more desirable to most fans but 22 million doesn't go quite as far and is certainly less of a sure thing.

    Thoughts?

    It does nothing to stop outside nil.

    Not agreeing but I believe his point is we focus resources to become a more basketball program.

    How much do endorsements affect where players end up when they are free agents in the league?
