Your sources claim that CU is between 6th and 11th in the Big 12 in NIL funds available to the MBB program?

Fair enough. I have heard a very different story.

I know for sure Tad had NIL in the range of $700,000 - 800,000 to retain KJ, Tristian and attract Lampkin. I was told by both the 5430 folks and a person in the AD that the plan was for Tad to have $2,000,000 for this past class. This would definitely be competitive as Kansas was projected to have $3 mm in NIL funds.

For example, if KJ had come back, the plan was to pay him $400,000 - 500,000, though of course he did not.

I think a big part of the problem with last year’s class is Tad apparently was going to retire, but decided not to. That caused us to lose momentum in recruiting.
 
Wasn't the C-Unit a student-run thing (obviously, with major support from then-AD Bohn...)? Can the AD hire a couple of students or recent grads who are passionate about CU basketball to re-build the student section? It needs a new name, anyway. Social media, on-campus messaging, incentives that students would actually want...those kinds of things.

Aside from bigger NIL funding, what other resources does Tad Boyle need? Recruiting director? NIL director? More money for assistants? Surely the practice facilities aren't an issue... And before I get yelled at by the "grumpier" AllBuffs posters, I am genuinely asking because I don't follow basketball as much. I read posts saying our AD doesn't support the basketball programs, and while I agree, I have yet to see concrete ways for them to help, outside of throwing money at NIL. I love the school, the town, the state, and the teams that represent us. I would like to see ALL of our programs succeed at a higher level; but how is that realistically done? Ideas?

Yes, $2 mil was the "plan." Hope, more like.

We never got near that. I got laughed at when I asked if they had $2 mil.

Edit -- As a note, KU supposedly spent $4 mil last year (per 247). I imagine their budget increased this year, and will again next, given what BYU is tossing into the middle.

If this is correct, what amount of NIL funds does the basketball program have?
 
Side note with this matchup. Everyone is expecting us to lose big so this is a win win. We were in the game until 2 minutes before half. They had their 6'9 wing hit 6 3's against us and it totally swung the momentum. Not saying we have a chance but this game at home will be closer.

They haven't really been challenged in a month, it's just past the Christmas holiday, they are on the road, they smoked us last time. It's hard to beat the same team multiple times. Hoping this is a let down game for ISU.

Our offense wasn't terrible against their vaunted defense. We obviously have to defend as good as we have all year. If we pull off the shocker completely changes the trajectory of our season.

Not trying to get my hopes up realistically we will lose but also this could be that Kansas, Oregon, Arizona home upset Tad's pulled previous years. Tad almost shocked that Jaime Jacquez led team two seasons ago at home during that 18-17 season. We rarely get smoked at home.

This is 100% not true. I have no idea where you heard this, but it's time to question/dump your sources.

I'm betting both teams come out of the break a bit rusty. I bet we take them to the wire and give them a hell of a scare, but ultimately lose by something like 4.

Students are fighting to get Football tickets. Why not put togther a promotion this year where 1000 students are guaranteed football tickets if they go to 90%+ basketball game. It doesn't cost a dime, but I guarantee it would drive attrendance.

This is a great idea. What if they reserved seating at Folsom for a few hundred or thousand of these student super fans. Students get points for each game they attend. Keep first 10 rows blocked off from the 40 to the end zone and only students with the highest number of points from other games can sit there. Maybe give out 5 sideline passes a game for students from the superfan group? All this stuff is totally free and would keep the keg packed for other games.
