    I want our staff to be ruthless enough to take this kind of guy if he has top flight athletic potential, give him a chance to prove he can actually take it seriously, and if he doesn't then don't renew his scholarship. I would have absolutely never advocated that before the courts forced NIL on the NCAA but now that players are being paid (which they deserve as adults providing the main service in a ridiculously high revenue arena) they have to accept the downside to being paid to work.

    Before that if the guy was giving a baseline effort then you shouldn't have booted him. Now that they're being paid, baseline is no longer acceptable even to me. (I never really "accepted" it but when the coaches were the only ones actually getting paid I put that 100% on their identification of the trait like you're asking about here)

    pretty damn good truth here.

    “A lot of these recruits have to know that Arch Manning is highly overrated. “

    There is so much stupidity and lack of awareness in that logic that it is breathtaking. “We’ve convinced ourselves that the number one recruit in the country should barely be a 3 star. Surely everyone else sees this, too?”

    Also, they went from one guy touting the premise that Texas was paying double what anyone else would pay to it now being known fact. Texas alums are sure known for being really stupid with their money. In fact, there’s actually a school that has done that recently, and the jokes fucking write themselves. 

    Also also, I am still fascinated by the fact that these goobers still don’t grasp that NIL isn’t a corrupt bag game. They’re clinging to it being a conspiracy that will wind up getting busted up by the joint forces of the NCAA, the FBI, and fucking Chuck Norris. 

    Yes. The fact these dumb asses  don't know how NIL works is par for the course. And that goes for their so called leaders (dimbo and loochie) also.

    Flipped on sportscenter. First clip is the Rory chip. Then they show the radio feed. Then more and more Rory stuff.

    Golf needs him right now. As cheesy as that sounds. Tiger is getting closer and closer to being totally done. 

    I'm thankful it wasn't Tiger that holed it from the bunker.

    Stacked is an add-on subscription that is combined with a TexAgs Basic, Premium or Varsity subscription on a monthly or annual basis. A minimum of 75% of the proceeds from Stacked subscriptions go to compensating participating student athletes for their NIL and role in creating the content.”

    Only 75%?  LMAO.  Is he taking a 25% management fee?

    maybe "CRATERED" would be a more appropriate name.

    I do as well. They have easily become my second favorite school in the SEC. 

    I can't for the life me figure why they are such an easy target on this board, particularly having to do with their traditions which I think are some of the finest in the country. When I see A&M, I see raw unapologetic patriotism. 

    I've grown to love the f_cking school, and it seems like they are slowly but surely starting to hit their stride of becoming a major force in the conference, that we always suspected they would and quite frankly feared.

    but. could they find the ballpark?
