Texas and Oregon put the CFB world on tilt with their respective NIL efforts. Many alumni bases are reacting pragmatically and trying to build something competitive of their own that fits their specific goals and means. Some bases will be able to compete across all sports in an arms race with Oregon and Texas. Ohio State and Michigan. Notre Dame and Penn State. Maybe Georgia. They’ll have to want to do it, of course. There are others like Bama and LSU who will figure out how to be competitive at the top of the elite recruit list every year, but their bases have already blanched at what it is going to take to do it. The price of poker went up. Bag money is dwarfed already.
Then you have Oklahoma, USC, and Tennessee. Kansas too, bizarrely, and I’m sure we’ll hear about more, but all of these groups basically just decided to tout made up shit or vapor prospective nonsense. I guess they figure they’ll just figure it out on the fly or are equating some of it to the black market where they’ll say one thing and do another with players and get away with it. It doesn’t work that way when players, parents, handlers and agents can talk openly to whoever the fuck they feel like. So yeah, Addison hadn’t seen a dime as of a few days ago. Barry Switzer just making shit up on behalf of OU might stall some momentum away from them for a bit, but the recruit-side wises up quickly and they’re going to start asking for proof and asking on-campus players for truth.
ATM is in a whole different situation. They went full big black bag, tried to mock NIL to recruits as fake shit and got away with that for a spell, and expected to establish themselves as a player in the under the table game for the foreseeable future. In one of the more ironic twists even for the aggies, it appears as though their zeal for coming over the top of accepted norms in the stealth game has caused two major reverberations against them - 1) they accelerated everyone else’s interest in NIL as a means of countering their bag behavior and 2) they have become everyone’s favorite whipping boy in negative recruiting. Fisher and the AD attempting to “I am not a crook!” all of it and pointing fingers elsewhere and making threats hasn’t helped their cause. In the most on-brand aggie maneuver of all time, ATM pulled the NIL bookshelf on top of themselves just as they thought they were getting going.

Futureman metaphorically fists all of us with every post he makes.
I hate the parody lyric this is bringing to mind.

Sending prayers to Sam and his family and hoping they can find some comfort in the thought of Jake and his dad having a happy reunion in a far better place.

I'm an old alum. My dad is 87 years old. To this day he considers Texas players that cross the Red River as traitors. I love his passion. He is appropriate in front of my Mom but when we are alone he says fuck OU don't tell your Mom I said that. LOL

HOLY SHIT... Just reported that TOM HERMAN recently called Ray Tanner at South Carolina and asked to be hired for the Gamecock's job...
South Carolina said No
Gene Sapakoff just reported this on Paul Finebaum Show
(Not good that this came out right before National Signing Day)
Michelle Herman just tweeted that this is false. Which may or not mean that it's actually false.

If this is true literally fuck herman with jimbos dick
If it's true (and one would hope that CDC is working to verify one way or the other), Herman should be gone before the plane leaves for Stillwater.

Harris is the assistant RB coach that was on a call with LJ and BC (and '22 Blue) yesterday.
Aggy tear forecast if this comes to fruition:

Have to think he's already received a call from Herman, right?

It's pretty clear that Ringo loves UT and would be going there if money weren't a factor. But, well, you know.
