The Texas Tech basketball womens team competes in the Big 12 Conference, which is part of the NCAA Division I. The Lady Raiders are a renowned program and have a strong basketball tradition. They are also one of the most successful teams in the country, earning a national championship in 2011.
While team-wide NIL contracts are nothing new in college athletics, this deal for the women’s program is unprecedented. It was the first time in the history of women’s basketball that a five-figure deal was made. The deal is a partnership between a nonprofit NIL collective and a college basketball team. As a result, the Lady Raiders will receive $25,000 from the nonprofit marketing collective.
In addition to Level 13’s deal with the women’s basketball team, the football team recently announced a $25,000 deal with Matador Club, a Lubbock-based marketing agency. The deal is the first of its kind for a women’s college basketball team, and will provide a baseline for future NIL deals.

Marlene Stollings was fired as head women’s basketball coach at Texas Tech in August 2020, after an investigation by USA TODAY Sports. The former coach sued, accusing the university of discrimination and the athletics department of retaliation. She also claimed that two internal reviews cleared her of any allegations. The case was set for a February 2023 trial. However, the two sides filed a joint motion to settle, and the judge dismissed the case.
