  • 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!

    Is there a burnt ends board up yet? I applied for membership by it says it's still pending. Are we just on hold till all the i's are dotted?

    Yep just waiting till everything’s locked down but board is up and created. Everyone who donated and enrolled will get a new logo flare and bird access as soon as we are live and announced. Cups and stickers will be rolling out as soon as production allows and I’ll get em shipped out ASAP. Will probably have koozies to give out as well at games

    Is this the big new NIL opportunity CDC was talking about - or is this old news?  Looks like a directory of athletes email addresses (what could possibly go wrong?)

    Hello Longhorn Foundation donors,
    In this new era of collegiate athletics with Name, Image and Likeness opportunities for our student-athletes, many of you have asked about ways to partner with them on NIL deals. As you may have read in Forty Acres Insider Tuesday, we have proudly launched LEVERAGE Lineup, a hub for finding and contacting Texas student-athletes who may be interested in a partnership with you or your brand. We've worked with our partners, compliance staff and legal team to ensure LEVERAGE Lineup is fully compliant with State of Texas and NCAA regulations. I am personally excited to see this list continue to grow as more of our Longhorn student-athletes elect to sign up and be a part of LEVERAGE Lineup to further take advantage of the new state of Texas law.
    In addition to LEVERAGE Lineup, TexasSports.com/NIL is a great resource for name, image and likeness FAQs, the State of Texas NIL bill and learning more about our student-athlete educational efforts through the 4EVER TEXAS and LEVERAGE programs.
    We're excited about these amazing new opportunities for our student-athletes and look forward to continuing to watch them build their personal brands while representing The University of Texas at the highest level.
    Hook 'em!

    that leverage lineup "hub" is bad and whoever approved and rolled it out should feel bad. this shit isn't a hub, its literally a list of players with links to their socials and email

    oh yeah, and Bijan isn't on it. it does have Ojomo, who may not even be old enough to have a tiktoc, Jamison, Dicker, Alfred Collins, Card, Coburn

    lol Paxton Anderson's email goes is his first letter/last name at cowboys dot com

    this is everyone's PERSONAL emails out there in the public domain, not behind shit. also it is based on folks legal names not the names they go by on the actual roster or in public. Examples:

    Roster name: Junior Angilau --> that system has him as his actual name Sione Angilau

    • Roster Name: BJ Foster --> system mane: Billy Foster
    • Roster Name: JD Coffey --> Johnny Coffey
    • Roster Name: Jett Bush --> David Bush

    1 MBB player, 1 WBB player is on the list

    what a shit show.

    no, really... how do you roll out something like this and not even have your best player on it before you announce it?

    i could have created this in two seconds and it would have been a better setup.

    it's even a worse setup than Opendorse.

    I don't think so. Doesn't fit the description of a "brand licensing" thing. First I've heard of it though.

    And yeah while I like the sentiment here, publishing all their personal emails seems like a terrible idea. Kinda need a blind contact form that also requires a login so people can be banned.

    Yeah I like the idea but very poorly executed. Should be some kind of searchable/filterable/sortable data table that doesn't look like a middle schooler designed it. And add their position, class, hometown or something. Should also be blind contact forms instead of showing their emails. Possibly with the added security of requiring a log in to help limit random fan/hate mail.

    That said, I would think the list of players on there will grow. They probably just released it a little early. And sadly it's actually better than what's on Opendorse (like 5 players who required extensive searching to find, with no way at all to contact them).

    Omfg, this idea is so fucking easy and they made it so god damn stupid. I had this exact idea two weeks ago, @immamac said he could build it in like three days tops. This is so not hard,  just take the app cameo and duplicate it for the players. Have businesses already go through compliance so the athletes can just log on, click a button and get signed up. Instead he just made an address book with kids tiktoks on them. My god, this is not hard. I got the same shit that this “platform” does through Twitter DMs. This is opendorse after it ate lead paint. Fuck!

    Yep. Should be simple for anyone with website design skills (unfortunately not me). Doesn't need anything fancy. Just find a player, log in, fill out a blind contact form with the proposal, and wait for a response. Combining that with some kind of resource center (sample docs, FAQs, etc.) as a one-stop solution would be crazy helpful to people and you don't need to open the players up to mountains of spam email.

    Still think it's worth you and imma showing them how it's done by putting together something that's actually useful.

    Signed up, logistical question for PayPal.   I assume selecting direct payment through banking versus selecting a credit card (how I usually pay recurring charges) leads to more money getting to the players?  

    Thanks for putting this together.  Really hoping the ad gets off their asses and starts to follow the lead and weaponize our brand

    No one is on the website and one is external and takes you to PayPal. Some people like to go to PayPal and use PayPal credit and stuff.

    annual payment options have been added. 

    There is a 3% fee associated with every purchase, worth it for me not to have to deal with monthly checks every month - but if you want to do annual for 600 you can mail a check to me or my bank. There isn't really an easy way to set up ACH payments unfortunately. 

    we also take paypal, venmo, zelle DM me for info.

    Any chance we get some sort of counter showing how much money has been contributed? now that we can do one-time contributions, would be cool if people could just throw in a few bucks here and there to make it do the brrrrrrr thing.

    Given this new information with respect to player jerseys, is it now okay for middle aged guys to wear said jerseys?

    I remember a heated discussion years ago that decided without a shadow of a doubt that it was asshattery of the highest order to do so.

    Asking so as to be in with the in (surly )crowd. Or just burnt Ends only.

    I might get arrested by compliance. Chris Plonsky May personally throw me into Texas jail but im making a burnt orange polo with the burnt ends logo and I don’t give a FUUUUUUUUUUCK. But also no jerseys, if you’re old enough to buy cigarettes

    Buy them and hang them in your closet but never under any circumstance should a middle aged dude wear a jersey with someone else’s name on the back.  (Unless your gay and that’s okay).

    If you’re out of high school, this is the only acceptable way to use any jersey you buy. Preferably signed and in a nicer frame than this one here.

    Nice. Funny enough your background is similar to the free pic I chose on Wix (spoilered below). The main parts that are over my head are the login/member stuff, making a good player database page that can be sorted/filtered/searched, and creating contact forms for each player. Probably a resource center too although didn't try that.

    Does this allow them to use the logo in commercials or just for merch?

    Its my understanding that Texas has signed an agreement with Brandr to license merchandise with the Texas logo.  Players would have to go through Brandr to use the Texas logo and whatnot and I would expect that Texas has placed limitations on what they can do.  So I'd expect they (Brandr) can sell jerseys and t-shirts but I don't think they are going to allow them (Players) to use the Texas branding in commercials or to sell their own merchandise.

    • 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.
