STILLWATER– To deal with Name, Image and Likeness programming, Oklahoma State Athletic Director Chad Weiberg has announced Barry Hinson as OSU’s first full-time NIL administrator. “Over the last two years we have assembled an outstanding team to help provide robust NIL opportunities for our student-athletes,” said Weiberg. “What we were missing was someone who could quarterback our team. With his experience coaching and recruiting, and his deep-rooted love of OSU, Barry is the perfect fit to coordinate our efforts, connect the pieces and lead our NIL team.”

Hinson, who has been a member of basketball coach Mike Boynton’s coaching staff for the past three seasons, will assume his duties as OSU’s associate athletic director for NIL immediately.

“I love OSU and I love our student-athletes,” Hinson said. “This position provides an opportunity to promote and build mutually beneficial relationships for everyone involved.”

Hinson launched a basketball coaching career that began at Stillwater Junior High School and saw him eventually serve as head coach at Tulsa Bishop Kelley and as head coach at Oral Roberts, Missouri State and Southern Illinois. During his collegiate career, he twice worked for OSU grad Bill Self, at ORU and at Kansas.

Oklahoma State Athletics has embraced the launch of NIL. Over the last 13 months, OSU partnered with the OSU Brand Squad, INFLCR, The BrandR Group, Altius and Recur to provide education, content, compliance and partnerships for its athletes.
