  1. From reading last year's registration rules: Maximum 25 players, 2 of which are GKs, 8 of which are "locally trained" (slightly different from Premier League "homegrown" rules). Of the locally trained, up to 4 can be "association trained", meaning that they were at a different club within the same association. If you do not have 8, then that deficit gets subtracted from the 25 total roster spots Locally trained = on the clubs books for 3 seasons between the ages of 15 and 21 ( Brandon Austin is the only player that qualifies) Or On another club's books within the same association (in this case, England or Wales) for 3 entire seasons between the ages of 15-21 (Maddison, Brennan Johnson, Solanke, Ben Davies, Djed Spence, Archie Gray, Ashley Phillips, Gibbs-white) Any youth player born after 1/1/04 and has been with the club for at least 2 years since they turned 15 (or 3 years if they were loaned out for one year) can be registered with the squad without counting against the 25 roster count (i.e. Scarlett, Donley, Devine, Moore).
  2. From The Athletic: West Ham reject £50m Mohammed Kudus bid from Tottenham
  3. I must have missed the time that the Dodgers gave a rookie they just drafted $100 million dollars to go play in the minor leagues for two years. Because that's essentially what a recruit is. A rookie that needs development time. In baseball, not worth $100 million. In CFB, not worth $5 million Now if Jeremiah Smith hits the portal? Yeah, go nuts. But offering that money to a high school senior is regarded.
  4. The profit goes to the players NIL deals
  5. Clarification to add: the only thing they bought was a big 12 championship. National championship still came home to Texas.
  6. He's just one guy, so if he is successful, I'd consider that more "exception to the rule" rather than "myth buster"
  7. Ok Wemby I see you. Maybe he needs to go pay the Spurs of North London a visit Ok, never mind, we can stop this now
  8. Define "crazy" I said this earlier, Cam Newton reportedly got paid $180,000 as a senior to go play 1 year at Auburn. That's a drop in the bucket now. Will bagmen be able to pay 10x that now under the table? And I feel like most of the under the table stuff back then was on a player by player basis, not across an entire roster. I think there is a close to zero chance that any school that utilizes under the table bagmen will be able to compete with what Texas/Oregon/Ohio State will pay, legally, across an entire roster. Also, to your last question: Wisconsin vs Miami https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/45552578/wisconsin-sues-miami-tampering-football-transfer
  9. I still don't understand this sky is falling bullshit. What "different rule book" are you talking about? (With regards to now, not back in the 80s) The different rule book that led us to retaining a roster that went to back to back semi finals? The different rule book that JUST signed and delivered a #1 class? Also, I'm laughing at the notion that you actually think Bag men can outspend Texas, regardless of whether or not we follow the rules. Bag men paid Cam Newton $180,000. That's chump change now, even within the lateral limits set by "the rules". You think Bag men are somehow going to all of a sudden come up with that amount for multiple players within a 25 man recruiting class? Or 10x that amount for today's 5 star? There are very few teams that I'm worried about matching/outspending Texas across an entire recruiting class or an entire roster regardless of bag man. And none of them are in the SEC.
  10. How so? If Texas were operating like a pussy, wouldn't we have lost Hill/Simmons/Muhammad/Wingo/Moore/Guilbeau by now? Or are you under the impression that their NIL deals haven't been renegotiated each off-season?
  11. This is a non issue until we see deals actually get denied, precedent set, and actual enforcement/consequences happen. Until then, it's all boogeyman bullshit.
  12. Are you guys under the impression that Texas athletes are some how going to stop getting NIL deals? There is NO LIMIT to what an athlete can make through NIL sponsorships. Texas AD can pay athletes up to the $20 million cap.... Plus they can make NIL revenue on the side that does not affect the cap at all, including through Texas One Fund. Do you really think some SEC bag man in fucking Tuscaloosa/Gainesville/Baton Rouge is going to be able to spend more than Texas One Fund? Correct me if I'm wrong, but what am I missing here? How could AD revenue + bag man + NIL sponsorships for Uncle Bob's Sunflower Seeds in bum fuck nowhere be a threat to Texas AD revenue + Austin corporate sponsorship + Texas One Fund NIL?
  13. Just the confidence boost that Frees needed imo. Let's see if he takes that moving forward
  14. Hits close to home as I live here in San Diego now and went out last night. Definitely some great eye candy to hang out with
  15. Softball I get... But why is canoeing being hosted there?
  16. With that stadium and complex, doubtful.
  17. If you read the article, it very much reads like "We definitely could've had this super awesome really big name, but that's not how we do things here so we hired internally instead" Trying to pump up their hire as more than what it is
