Buddy if you believe the University of Houston is hurting for money for their basketball program I've got a bridge to sell you. I'm sure the #16 and 55 ranked freshman recruits for next year are going there for free, the numbers 7, 16, and 22 ranked recruits in this year's freshman class (a historically good class) were all value buys on the clearance rack that no other P4 programs wanted, and borderline NBA returnees in Sharp, Uzan, and Tugler couldn't find competitive NIL deals from other high majors.

It's Houston my man. The area certainly isn't hurting for money, and they certainly don't have a small alumni base. They have almost 50K students attending this year.

Certainly it couldn't be a coach crying poor to get even more money to use on his roster.

Lol what a joke of a quote.  Sampson is as good as it gets in college ball right now, but his roster is also absolutely loaded and has multiple billionaire boosters.

...and Marquette can compete in this environment. In another thread the Wisconsin legislature just gave UW another 15 million.

Get some Kohler money. Recently, Nina Kohler made the lead gift to Vanderbilt Women's Athletics' new $50 million campaign. All money goes to Women's Sports. She is on the board of trustees there. This is in addition their recent athletics campaign which surpassed $300 million.

Time to fold the program.

Yep. We can't compete. Might as well close the university.
