  • 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!

    A LOT of progress has been made FYI. Expect big news this week

    Good to hear. Met up with a couple of players at a bar and the NIL failures are bigger than I imagined, so the quicker we can fix it whether it be through the AD or around them, the better.

    You went to the IT thing? Care to provide cliff notes of the failures that were mentioned?

    I would just add the comment that NIL will fundamentally realign the powers in college football within the next three recruiting classes. This is much bigger than many people realize.

    Agreed. Hence our actions now, and if a couple idiots from the internet can make a difference imagine what actual people with big time cash can do.

    I didn't realize there were rich schools that weren't winning right now. Who do you think is going to be relegated?

    You’re so bitter about this subject it’s funny.  We loose recruits to Stanford and TCU.  That won’t happen going forward (I hope).

    Any school that doesn’t figure out how to ensure it’s players are receiving a lot of NIL dollars.

    Just because a school generates a lot of revenue for itself does not necessarily mean it will for its players. Schools that are “less rich” could do a much better job of filling the NIL funnel for its players. The two processes (school revenue vs player revenue) are very different.

    Makes sense was just wondering if you knew of some that were definitely getting left behind.

    kind of ironic really. UT will focus so hard on making sure the university and athletic program continue to make money that they lose sight of players getting paid. As a result, recruiting suffers followed by success on the field and eventually contributions to university and AD.  Programs that gets their players paid, get better players, and in the long run, have more people contribute to the university/AD.

    Not from IT but basically in the view of the players I met they felt the administration had largely mismanaged the NIL process in terms of giving them real support. They felt they got given some powerpoint slides with rules, a couple do's and don't, and were told "you're free to go, now". They felt like UT should be doing a lot more to help them succeed with their branding and I tend to agree with them (personally I think it would be better if we paid lip service to the dog and pony show that is the NIL rules & regs and just dropped bags, but I have zero power and admittedly zero intent to do anything other than what my Burnt Ends Surly Overlords tell me to do). Thankfully it did seem like they felt/knew alumni aid would be coming soon no matter what so I doubt UT stays behind forever, but it does mean we all need to do the work since I doubt the university will do it for us.

    @RGBIII aren't yall also working on a resource center or marketplace or something? How's that coming? I'm probably alone here but I'm weirdly even more excited about that as a potential Surly impact on NIL (potential multiplier effect if it spreads through the broader UT/Austin community)

    This took precedent. We are going to do that next.

    I mean this answer seems obvious which is why you’re seeing lot of Texas fan/website engagement and ultimately why we’re moving to the SEC.

    Anyone else get this email saying the following? It’s from the CDC weekly LHF email   .

     

    "We’re also very close to signing a brand licensing deal that will be a tremendous benefit and a game-changer for our student-athletes in the NIL space, so stay tuned for more details on that, as well."

    Holy hell, the most amazing shit is happening. My sources tell me it's gonna be huge. I can't tell you what's happening just yet, but let's just say it will change the game.

    Well the statute doesn't say an institution can't grant permission/license marks for use in NIL.

    So, I'm guessing some people figured out that we might get murdered here and went back to System IP counsel and Pirkey Barber and said how can we grant permission to use our marks without destroying them.

    Abso-fucking-lutely! If we don't end up with photographs of McDonalds bags full of cash and McRibs, then what the hell are we doing this for?!?

    Really looking forward to the "fuck yeah!" sense of satisfaction whenever a TE hauls in a TD.

    Does this newest development mean we are turning the corner or is this more playing by the rules so it will ultimately blow type groupthink we are known for? 

    It should mean that we aren’t getting beaten to a pulp like we are currently

    Once the rest of the team sees the TE's having stacks of cash delivered by Surly Jesus, its game on.

    Niiice, sounds like we're about to sign one of those workaround licensing deals like tOSU that allows players to use the logo. That would be big.

    • 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.
