  • Surly Horns Burnt Ends NIL Program- How YOU can help Texas with the NIL right now!


    RGBIII

    Enough bitching, enough sitting on the sidelines, CDC isn't doing fucking dick but we can! Introducing Surly Horns Burnt Ends NIL Program. This is how we make a difference, if we can get enough interest and hit the numbers that we forecasted, that is a huge step towards getting at least one position group taken care of (possibly two pending interest and people actually putting their money where their mouths are) with the hopes that others will follow with other less appreciated position groups. Bijan, Card, even guys like Jamison and Overshown won't have issues getting paid when the NIL is fully rolled out (hopefully fucking soon, looking at you @closetojumping)or when CDC gets his head pulled out of his ass (Doubtful, fucking moron).

    Next Steps, I gauge interest through this article and see what the financials actually look like (You won't be charged dick till this shit actually gets rolled out), we get a liaison in the TE room to help facilitate scheduling, we get this bitch through compliance (Don't think this should be an issue but....), then we start to roll it out to the TEs! All the profit is going directly to the TEs, and the website will be handling the money (No Ketch bullshit). We will mail everyone's Cups and stickers and shit once things have been rolling. We will need some help designing a logo (paging @TreatyOak). This is a great opportunity for us to have some fun with the NIL, get some kids some cash legally and above board, help improve TE recruiting and keep talented TEs on the team and out of the portal. If you have any suggestions, questions or grievances shoot me and @immamac a DM. This is how we help!

    Are you guys planning to expand this to other position groups as well? If so, what's the timeline for that?

    I’m holding off on joining until I see the full amount of damage from a recent health issue, but I have a question.  Since Banks is the TE coach and these are his guys,  can we expect a monkey appearance at any of the events?

    Saw him bright and early at Starbucks on 15th in downtown Austin while in town for business couple of days before Anderson’s announcement. Exchanged pleasantries and was cordial, but damn how I wanted to tell him that whole recruitment was like was watching HIS monkey fuck a football smh.

    10k is more than TEs are getting in bags. This also is yearly so really it’s like 40-50k. And the NIL can not be involved with anyone not on the actual team. They use this as a recruiting tool saying “last year every TE got 10k and we expect it again this year” is above board

    As said previously, but these are nailing it right on the head. The players and coach(es) know about it, the word will get passed along to potential prospects.

    Just curious, but why not try to build a roster with the best recruits if we can do it?  Is it logistics issue, an issue with the law/compliance, or just a fund raising problem?  The end goal of NIL is to get back to recruiting elite players here that are getting paid by other schools.  Is there a way to recruit top talent and they get a bonus on top of their yearly stipend?  Just curious because I'm not sure 10k a year is going to help bring in top recruits here when other schools are dropping bags with way more on top of NIL.  Just trying to think if there are ways we can take care of current players while also trying to raise funds to bring in top talent.

    I’m a stupid monkey apparently incapable of

    multi quoting while on my cell phone but this is a reply to my above post where I quoted victory and RGB...

    I wonder if we (not surly,  but the longhorn community in general) couldn’t pay certain amounts to any recruit on campus at least for their freshman year. For example- if every 5 star recruit that signed for a 100k NIL deal their freshman year on campus it would be understood by all the 5 star recruits that you sign at Texas and immediately get 6 figures. I can’t see why this wouldn’t be legal/why anyone would be able to stop it from happening. I realize what we are doing here isn’t that, I’m really proud of what’s being done here and not saying we should be doing that, but if someone with someone serious money would be willing to do that it would seem to me to be legal and effective as a replacement for a bag, so to speak. 
    the real thing we need is a commitment from big donors to turn it into an endowment where everyone passes the hat and tosses in whatever it takes to endow enough payments to the top level guys that work as a form of signing bonus, and then whatever the guys that become stars make will take care of itself.

    Player has to do something of market value for the 100k, that's the problem - what will you have them do for that money? You can't just give it to them for random bullshit as that's not sustainable.

    Who decides that value though? And why couldn’t you it said person had the resources? Why does it matter what they’re doing for the money? If the person paying them declares said player tweeting out for his business or an appearance at the establishment then the value is justified.

    My thought would be some sort of NFT or limited edition collectible signing thing. Something impossible to value- that functions like art work. I assume that’s why Oregon did what they did. They did it with a talented upper class player. My suggestion would be to do it with guys ranked at a certain level as a course of business the second they set foot on campus. 
    like I said- Thats different than what you are doing with Surly, obviously, but I think there’s space to create at least plausible deniability and places like Oregon will do that. 
    not saying we should do that but “someone” should.

    We should do that though….maybe not surly since we have our thing currently but we should be pushing boundaries.

    Agreed. Problem is for all the talk about our boosters being out of control and obnoxious and running shit it’s really not true. They take their cue’s from the people in charge and the AD isn’t interested, seemingly.

    This is absolutely the sort of thing actual BMD's should be working behind the scenes to do.

    But I think Surly type investments in position groups (including walk-ons) are absolutely going to make a difference in recruiting.  Maybe not for the 5 star guy getting bags dropped from helicopters - but for everybody else 40k is a big fucking deal.

    The University won't approve bogus shit that is out of whack. The person paying the player doesn't determine shit. The market at large determines shit. Just because some idiot gives a kid 100k for a TV commercial if he can't prove that he recovered that or has the potential to recover it the university isn't going to let that fly. You don't just get to negotiate with the player directly, the university must approve every single NIL activity except for signing memorabilia and memorabilia has an open market value like you are saying, but not a whole lot of people willing to just stroke 100k for a signed football. As much as you guys love to think that BMD just do stupid shit like that, they actually don't.

    NFT could work, there is secondary market value to an NFT and there is a residual payment every transaction to the player. The problem is that I don't actually think BMD want to pay an unknown quantity who may just say fuck it and transfer. There cannot be any teeth on the other side of NIL for performance, roster positioning, or whether they stay on the team. 

    The main problem with "legit" NIL is that people aren't willing to dance with the devil above board. If you fuck a BMD that is dropping bags in the bag game then you kinda get fucked over in the long term or they will do unscrupulous things to the family member that scammed them. When shit is illegal, you can respond illegally in kind.

    I think that’s a large issue that will bite us in the ass long term if we’re being honestly. We have a university regulating value when there is literally no data to show value or perceived value. I bet any other major program isn’t going that far.

    Ya but we also have alumni who have easy shit for these kids to do that has a high perceived value without being overly time consuming. They just need to know how to connect to the athlete and the actual rules of it

    No it wont. What will happen is Texas will never vacate any wins or a national championship.

    You guys think this is a fucking game, but it's not. Vacating a season or championship is a real shit stain on a University. Some 2nd rate trash schools may be willing to do this, but Texas will never ever risk vacating shit. It will also not risk in any way the eligibility of it's student-athletes.

    and IMO that’s a wasted concern especially with regards to the SCOTUS and the direction the college game is going. The university shouldn’t be in the business of dictating values because that could set up an issue down the road where athletes could take the university to court for capping value. It’s not the university who should be deciding value but rather the person who is paying for the service.

    I actually don’t think it’s that big of a deal. I mean @immamac and myself are fucking foul mouthed immature idiots and we breezed through compliance with zero issues aside from using burnt orange. If we can do this, something that has literally not been done by a single other university (the crowdsourcing aspect) then why can’t other BMDs. Compliance isn’t the issue it’s made out to be. It’s not hard to drop a bag and be compliant at the same time. We did

    When a player transfers or quits, the BMD stops licensing or reselling the NFT set and thereby it comes worthless and loses all residual value to the player. There’s ways to mitigate concerns there, as well as inflate value.

    • I was bored and went through the coaching staffs for each of the remaining playoff teams.  Listed below are the coaches who seemed like possibilities to me (but I'm an idiot).  They all have some college coaching experience and in the case of one an extensive HS coaching background.  A couple of entries have pretty light resumes but have long NFL careers.

      Houston Texans:
      Jacques Cesaire DL coach - 5 years at Univ of San Diego as DL coach, 9 years as DE for San Diego Chargers
      Rod Wright Asst DL Coach

      Green Bay Packers:
      Jerry Montgomery DL coach -11 years in college at OU, Michigan, Wyoming.  Last 9 years in NFL


      Detroit Lions:
      John Scott Jr. DL Coach - First year in Detroit.  Previously coached at Penn St., South Carolina, and Arkansas
      Wayne Blair QC - Long time Florida HS head coach, spent last two years coaching DLine in Detroit.  Played at Tulane and CFL

      Buffalo Bills:
      Marcus West Asst D-Line - Prior to joining Bills in 2022 spent 14 years as college D-Line coach (Charlotte, Minn, Austin Peay)

      San Francisco 49ers:
      Darryl Tapp Asst D-Line - 12 year NFL veteran.  Coached D-Line at V-Tech for 2 seasons.  Joined 49ers in 2022.

    • I'm not doing well about it, at all. 

      That's because we had our championship window of opportunity, which is now closed. 

      Why? Because now we face another, more potent opponent. The Fightin' Aggies of Texas A&M University. 
      They have THE best traditions in all of college. Plus, they've already surpassed us in baseball and basketball. Don't believe me? Consider this recent post from TexasAgs: "We've already surpassed them in baseball and basketball." 


      What's more, they demonstrated an unquenchable commitment to success when they paid a coach $78 MILLION to leave. That's right. $78 million to a coach they had presented a future national championship trophy to stop coaching, and they did it mid-season without a replacement locked-in. While it seems like this is poor financial management by their athletic department, it shows a spirit of winning we could only dream about. 


      Now, they've brought in a coach who gets them. That's right. He EMBRACES their traditions. And he has a great nickname, The Elk, which pairs with The Station quite nicely. We don't even have an amazing nickname for our city.

      Finally, when you compare the two football programs, A&M comes out ahead. As many of their posters continually point out, they faced a much better Alabama team than we did AND ALMOST WON. Plus, they paid tribute to their near-win against the second-best team in the Big 12.  

      Now that they've moved on from many of their players from the best recruiting class of all time, and have had multiple highly ranked recruits opt out, they are ready to win even more championships with hardworking farm boys from small towns. 


      Thanks for indulging my meltdown. I'm skeered real good.
