Coach Bracey opens up about navigating NIL and the transfer portal, preparing college athletes to manage money, and why she refuses to let the changing business of college sports change the values at the heart of her program. She also shares her own financial journey—from realizing the opportunities she missed early in her coaching career to building wealth through real estate, investing, and becoming an investor in Chicago’s Level Sporting Club.
They also dive into the realities of recruiting in the NIL era, the importance of financial education for young athletes, women investing in women’s sports, mentorship, and the leadership philosophy behind Bracey’s transformation of UIC Women’s Basketball.
This conversation reminds us that earning money and building wealth are two very different things—and you don’t have to wait until you have a fortune to start thinking like an investor.
