    I think it comes down to priority.  We don't have enough spots available (33) to take everyone we'd like - and I think TE is probably pretty low on Sark's priority list (especially given we just recruited 3 of them last year). 

    Don't you get it? How many spots isn't an issue any more. These kids are getting $100k, base, with or without a scholly.

    It's likely to be monthly payouts as a practical means of managing the process, carrying float for further gains, and keeping players from doing idiotic shit.

    Remember when you guys are thinking about this stuff that all of this work is being done to set floors (now and evermore) so that recruits and coaches can know what the future, should they come to Texas, looks like. None of this can be used as an enticement, yada yada, but in the future, matter of fact history is not ignorable and will be front and center for recruits and transfers to understand. That's a big point of all of this. 

    That considered, remember that this doesn't include any corporate NIL work for players that is very real and will only get bigger for the bigger names, which is why corporate density in Austin and Texas is a bigger deal, and a competitive advantage, than people understand right now. The 3rd string DE will still pretty much just get his expected floor, but the starting QB or point guard probably get far above the floor if they're worth a shit and have a symmetrical face. It also doesn't include crowdfunding efforts from the fanbase, memorabilia set-ups and signings, etc. 

    Plonsky and crew are on the cusp of being able to pay female athletes more than any other college program in the country, and more than most semi-pro female sports leagues as well. She's not that stupid. Bickering over "equity" will come a lot later. 

    God damn, I just realized... a lot of these guys are gonna take pay cuts to go pro. And "scholarship limits" just became a thing of the past, because walk-ons can certainly afford to go to school here on $100k/yr...

    Swan Lake is like maybe the 4th or 5th nicest neighborhood in midtown Tulsa. If you’re going to name check a neighborhood you should have gone with Maple Ridge, Terwilleger Heights or Ranch Acres. Or hell you could have just gone with Southern Hills.

    Blue Dome? When was the last time you were here? A decade ago? The Arts District into Greenwood is 10x more built up than Blue Dome. 

    Oil Refineries “up and down” the river? LOL there is one refinery. And there is plenty of natural beauty here other than one spot along the West Bank of the river.

    But yeah I agree ORU sucks. Fuck them.

    You write "when was the last time you were in Oklahoma?" as if successfully avoiding the entire state for the past 35 years is something I shouldn't be proud of...

    You guys laugh, but I can’t think of any other explanation for our fucking terrible Jerry Jones-style “bargain” hires that have slowly (and sometimes not-so-slowly) burned our program to the ground. 

    well, there is a better explanation, but it requires a small novella's worth of state politics, bad director's hires, etc. In fact, USC themselves just went through the same thing, more or less.

    The vast majority of people who have a negative view of Southern California are dumb fucking rednecks who have never been there.

     

    Oh, there's some absolute godforsaken places in SoCal. Once you hit the Eastern halves of the counties, it's basically Oklahoma with mountains. I've seen people bearing neo-nazi regalia openly in Riverside. I mean, you want redneck, SoCal has your rednecks.

    But then on the other hand there's La Jolla... La Jolla women, man.

    top college corches work a shit tonne of hours they are not out and about doing all the "cool kids shit" wherever they live

    people say LR is worth $25 or $30 million maybe, but that is probably going to generate him an income of less than $900,000 with the tax rates in California

    Tell me you're really bad at math without telling me you're really, really, really bad at math.

    Either that or you like writing dystopian fiction.

    Haha Norman is a shit hole but so is LA. I wouldn’t stop to take a fucking shit in LA much less live there. It makes me laugh at how people think LA is sooooo cool because of Hollywood. Fuck that entire shit hole of a state.

    OK > California is quite possibly the worst take I’ve ever read. Y’all are fucking idiots. No offense.

    Yeah, state vs state? California wins.

    But Los Angeles? Absolute shithole.

    I’m mostly excited the abortion of a season is (hopefully) over for Texas.

    College football is dead to me. Watching competent teams play football is so depressing.

    Oh sorry, this is a feelgood thread.

    No, no... you're not wrong. I remember seeing: recievers reliably catching passes! DBs making plays on the ball! OL who can actually block!

    We gotta long way to go on the recruiting trail.
