NIL Recruiting News Megathread
I work in the UT system. The idea of "dicey accounting" is crazy. All budget related procedures (purchases, reimbursements, moving funds, etc.) are set by law and reviewed by disinterested third parties. Earlier this week I had an expense report kicked back because I typed 58 instead of 85 one one line item out of fifty, so my mileage was off by 30. If you want to look at all of UT's accounting procedures you can do so here. The sketchiness around college sports money has largely resided in the black market that is now being pushed into these regulated and public channels. Maybe at private schools that's different. And there are occasional scandals like the UT tennis coach, but that's not going to suddenly be the norm. A bunch of university administrators across the country aren't going to risk their careers to shuffle money to the football team. Some schools will move money to the AD, but it will be through normal channels and I don't think it'll happen until the 2026 season at the earliest. There's a lot of competition from different stakeholders for university funds. The AD is only one mouth that needs to be fed. I think this is just going to shift collective donors to the AD, change AD budgets and capital projects, and, as someone else said, increase season ticket prices. -

A couple of additional questions: -- anybody know anything about The Argonaut Hotel? It's close to Fisherman's Wharf and Ghirardelli Square. We'll still probably do a couple of nights at The Presidio (Lodge). Argonaut -- it looks like we might try to catch a night at Lake Tahoe. All things equal, we'd prefer to stay on the California side. Any recommendations for which towns are best to visit or stay in?
