BAKERS PROMISE! Wren Bakers Plan IS WORKING & It's SCARY For The Big 12!.

About this episode

The episode discusses Wren Baker's transformative approach to West Virginia's sports programs, focusing on financial competitiveness and roster management.

#TransferPortal #WestVirginia #CollegeBasketball WVU didn’t just “get better at NIL”… they changed the entire way they operate. Under Wren Baker, West Virginia made a **top-tier commitment in the Big 12**—and it’s showing up RIGHT NOW in both football and basketball. This episode breaks down the REAL reason behind WVU’s portal surge: 💰 A shift from chaotic NIL collectives → *university-controlled revenue sharing* 🧠 A clear priority structure → *football first, basketball right behind it* ⚙️ True roster engineering → *fit + money + long-term planning* This isn’t luck. This isn’t a hot streak. 👉 This is what happens when a program finally decides to **compete financially at the highest level**. From a loaded football transfer class to a balanced, high-upside basketball roster featuring names like **Miles Sadler, Amadou Seini, and Javan Buchanan**—this is all connected. And once you see it… you can’t unsee it. 🎯 WVU didn’t just join the game… They changed how they play it. --- #WVU #WestVirginia #Mountaineers #WVUFootball #WVUHoops #CollegeFootball #CollegeBasketball #Big12 #TransferPortal #NIL #RevenueSharing #WrenBaker #LockedOn #LockedOnWVU #CFB #CBB #Recruiting #SportsTalk…
