Just like those that use the "Recruiting Matters!" mantra, I have come to believe in a new mantra for college athletics "NIL Matters!"
Look no further than the U - the University of Miami who beat the Longhorns in the Elite Eight. I know as a Texas fan, that loss hurt and NIL was a big factor in that loss.
The U's basketball success in men's and women's basketball is clear this year. Miami gets Nigel Pack from KSU and Norchad Omier from Arkansas State and NIL plays a big factor. The U keeps PG Wong and NIL is a big factor. NIL significantly helps the U's women's team get the Cavinder twins and they knock off the #1 seed Indiana in Bloomington.
For the doubters out there, let me introduce you to a gentlemen named John Ruiz.
