TX also has no state tax, just a FYI; and, they also have 2 of the top 7 biggest media markets (Miami is outside the top 10). It’s cheaper to live there while they boast the 4th highest concentrated billionaires in the nation (right behind Florida).
UT has a huge donor base, uber business opportunities, etc etc etc. Why wouldn’t they be the most attractive to a recruit based upon this logic?
Some of ya’ll r overthinking this. Kids r going to go where they are going to go. They r still going to go where they can ball & make the league. The NIL is another recruiting pitch, but I can almost guarantee u this put a little dent in the recruiting landscapes b/c everyone is going to get paid. It’s still all about winning & getting guys drafted. If we're relying on the NIL to level the playing field, God bless u all. Just win baby. That’s all we gotta do.
