This is true. The Red Rocks set the standard on this for the U. last summer I attended a Crimson Club presentation and they showed that the Red Rocks were way down the road with this while the rest of the department seemed to be fumbling along with promises of, “In the next few months”. Glad to see football catching up and maybe the other sports will too.
Utah has a pretty good Mt Rushmore of former basketball players that you think might be a big draw.

(I think any good NIL effort for hoops should point that out for the foreseeable future.)
