  1. The reason why there is a huge market for “fake NIL” is because the schools have artificially limited the amount the players are able to be paid to the House settlement amount. It’s certainly not their corporate NIL value, but it is their market value in college football. Schools/collectives are trying to find ways to pay the players their market value in other ways, because the rules prevent them from doing it directly.
  2. I think the last part of your statement is the money quote. My guess is that some schools are promising players huge NIL payments that are not commiserate with their fair market value, while other schools are suggesting that they could get legit promotional NIL deals. The former are either banking on being able to get around Deloitte in some way or banking on getting the players on campus before the shit hits the fan.
  3. Or maybe civilly creepy? I think you are probably right about him not getting picked up, but I actually think the 10 game suspension makes it slightly more likely that he gets picked up later in the season by a team that is struggling at the kicker position. At least now, the team can treat it like he served his time.
  4. Lock up the recruits soon, Sactown is about to be lit.
  5. Arriving Friday morning, leaving Sunday evening. Considering driving down to Cincinnati for the Reds game early Sunday.
  6. Gotta get that NIL spending done before House kicks in...
  7. OU, A&M, and UGA are the teams we play home and away.
  8. You guys, if we don't lanbd Jojo and others, we are fucked.
  9. South Carolina gets Alabama twice. A&M/OU UF/Auburn UK/Vandy UGA/Ole Miss Arkansas/Mizzou Tenn/MSU
  10. According to this AAS article, Texas plans to offer 45 scholarships in Women's track, but only 35 in men's track. https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/college/longhorns/2025/02/27/texas-announces-plan-to-add-200-scholarships-after-ncaa-settlement/80584799007/ According to this article, A&M plans to offer "45 full or partial scholarships per program, which matches the new roster limit enforced by the House settlement." https://www.kbtx.com/2025/06/16/texas-am-track-will-defend-national-title-with-more-than-30-additional-scholarships/ Unless A&M is going to load up on partial scholarships and all of ours are full scholarships, it seems like we are going to be at a disadvantage in Men's T&F.
  11. Also, if A&M had not tied USC for the men’s track championship, we wouldn’t have won.
  12. You appear to be correct. That appears to be the only time they went to a game that aired on ESPN. They were supposed to go to Illinois and made a last minute switch to stay in Boulder and take advantage of the Deon hype. Apparently they have also televised one game that aired on NBC (at Notre Dame).
  13. I don’t necessarily disagree that it doesn’t happen a lot, but I would argue that it happens a lot when Fox is showing the marquee game of the weekend, as is the case week 1. Big Noon never goes to a different site, even if they’re showing something terrible at noon, whereas ESPN generally seems to pick the biggest game unless there are multiple games that are really close.
  14. Damn. If it was at UVA, I would definitely be there.
  15. I took it to mean it doesn’t seem like he was chasing clout, given that he didn’t even post a commitment video.
  16. Of those 6, I feel pretty good about Women's Golf and beach volleyball eventually winning a title under their new coaches. Men's outdoor track and field has been close and Texas recently won an indoor title, so I would not be surprised if we won one relatively soon. Men's basketball is likely always going to be a bit of a long-shot, soccer is obviously hampered by the coach, and we do not seem to care about cross-country at all, so I am not sure that one will ever happen.
