The stars aligned perfectly for Fran, The establishment of SU Football NIL, the shovels in the ground for new facilities, the willingness of the AD to go to bat to secure greatly enhanced assistant coaching/support staff budgets  and the pre-existing relationships the new staff had with several high profile players from Camden worked perfectly.
There is a lot of work to be done to replicate that scenario for basketball. I don't know how to even contribute to basketball NIL as an individual today. Not having a collective limits the audience to a handful of high level donors, a risky long term strategy, and corporate support. The support staff is not up to the level of the top teams in the ACC, NCAA raised the number of allowable on court assistants and the only addition SU made was to add a /assistant coach to the Director of Basketball Operations who was already on staff and had no coaching experience. And this isn't because SU is "cheap." In best years the department breaks even and with the AD continuing to invest heavily in football there needs to be a dramatic increase in revenue via media rights (conference level) and donor base.
