    As an aside, can we not play this tournament in this stupid stadium again?  Move it back to OKC.

    Amen.  Looks like shit on TV too.

    Boxers didn’t really need Don King or [insert your shady handler here], either.  And recruits didn’t really need their “uncle” to run bag games before NIL.  No con artist is ever really needed.  They find their way in with people who let them because they either feel overwhelmed or they just don’t know better.

    While I don't disagree with your last sentence.  I still think it will diminish greatly.   They may still have an uncle but they will have to go get NIL deals instead of bags.  Also your analogy is terrible.  Don King monopolized the high dollar matchups in boxing and it killed the sport.  They needed him to make money.

    Maybe a few.   Most will continue to be off the books crooks.   The Bishop Sycamore guy could have started a real school or gotten a real job, too.  But some people are just wired to be grifters even if they have other options.  And I’d wager the “recruiting street agent / handler” game has many more of those people than it does guys who will register to go legit, even if it’s not hard to do.

    But the incentive for players to cut them in will be diminished.  They need handlers to cut the bag deals.  The don't need handlers to cut the NIL deals.

    what does he means by “ramifications on A&M’s end”?  

    I think it means they expect aTm to get some concessions when forming pods/divisions/scheduling.  I heard this said on ESPNU and I think they are using the word ramifications here to mean concessions.

    Looks like  the aggy BOR scheduled a second meeting for Wednesday.   Agenda basically the same as Monday’s.

    I wondered if it is because the date of the last meeting was July 21, which I believe had already passed and they had to reschedule because it was an improper notice.
