Collectives and high-profile donors have been a defining piece of the first two years of the NIL Era. A major player in the Houston market is making a return to the NIL space. 

Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale has signed another team-wide NIL deal with the Houston basketball team valued at $1 million. It’s the second time in less than a year the owner of Houston’s Gallery Furniture and notorious sports bettor has committed upwards of seven figures to the Cougars. 

He won about $75 million, believed to be the largest payout in sports betting history, last November when the Houston Astros won the World Series. He also had upward of $3.5 million riding on Houston winning the NCAA men’s basketball championship.

He didn't forget who fired his buddy Darrell Dickey.

I wonder if anyone from NT has tried to reestablish a relationship with him.   That a long time to harbour a grudge, but he makes his money in Houston, not DFW.

Hell, if UNT has any land in Denton County or North Dallas they should give it to Mattress Mac so he can open a Gallery Furniture up there.  Mend the fences.  Build that relationship.

Baker partnered with Mack after Hurricane Harvey providing relief supplies.
