We have made a profound difference in most if not all of these players lives. In exchange we have gotten the adrenaline rush of Burnt Ends touchdowns, really candid interviews with players in a rough season and we still have 6 podcasts, 1 with a guy who decided to transfer out and 7 AMA's to do with them.
To say that NIL is used for recruiting and not for making the fan experience, the player experience and the overall draw to Texas being a badass place to be a fan and a player is just plain dumb. Will that have a positive impact on recruiting? Probably, but that's not why we are doing it. Quite frankly its also insulting to the merit of how crazy it is what we pulled off as a community, completely above board and in a way that isn't pay for play.

I stand by everything in those posts. If it's a draw, great, the point isn't to recruit with NIL.
To this day, Burnt Ends is by far the largest crowd funded endeavor for a position group and as far as I know the 2 BMF awards to RoJo and Jonathon Brooks are also 2 of the largest NIL deals for non starting players in the country, the other 5 being other members of burnt ends. Effectively surly has accounted for most of the top 10 deals outside of starting players for NIL.
Corp interest is still very small especially outside the super stars.
Horns With Heart is a novel concept that could start the new normal for baseline type compensation outside of scholarship and stipend for student athletes.

I watch maybe 20% of what I used to watch. And I still don't know how I offended you so much to keep calling me fuckwad and idiot. Sorry I disagree with your hot take?
Good call on the MAC, though. It's what I wish college football still was.
Be sure your arguments are idiotic and you are being dense on purpose when the burden of proof is on you for supporting your opinion that CFB isn't what it once was, even though it still very much is as evidenced by my posts.
-
You are an idiot. Just stop watching CFB it's stale and boring.

College football is not about football. Makes sense.
Yeah dude. It's why there are so many regional rivalry games and mini trophies in the season. Stop being a dense fuckwad. NFL is a far more pure game. College is full of insanity and crazy shit happening. It's why maction is fun to watch.

And stale and boring evidently also has a qualifier of "only if you watch the actual football games."
College football is very rarely about the football being played in the games. It never has been. That's why it's awesome.

This is a weird argument to me. "Sure, college football is boring if you only watch the football games."
The stuff with recruiting, NIL, and coaching carousel that you mention is interesting and gets eyeballs because it's a train wreck -- not because it's good for the game.
Weird. Stale and boring now has qualifiers of being "good for the game"

A pro sports term of talking to potential free agents while they are still under contract with other teams. It isn't quite the same here because there are no contracts, but the NCAA doesn't really have any way to monitor these back channel conversations or have any punitive rules in place for enticing guys into the portal. It is pretty much the wild west.
my post was extreme sarcasm as in the staff doesn't believe in tampering.

what the fuck even is tampering? lol

people who say college football is stale and boring and we have a 4M+ pageview thread on just Texas Recruiting. We have a 100+ page thread on quinn ewers transferring and we have all kinds of really cool initiatives going on for NIL that we have combined to payout nearly 6 figures since August to players on the team.
We had a coaching carousel thread that was hundred pages, we have so many awesome great things going on in cfb right now. So yeah, if all you like is to turn on games on saturday and watch or turn on a game during bowl season and watch maybe the product is stale and boring, there has never been a more exciting time to give a shit about college football than today though. It's so incredibly complex and the dynamics of what it takes to be good have been flipped on their head overnight.
Alabama and Georgia are going to have Clemson seasons, Michigan, Texas and USC are going to be back in the main conversation etc all in the next year or 2.

Imagine opting out of the Rose Bowl… Lame AF
Ohio State are a bunch of fucking pussies anyway. They wanted an excuse for the loss they were going to suffer regardless of opt-outs.
Better than what TAMU did, opt outs not in their last season lol

you need to move on, you are a blathering idiot and you aren't making any sense in this thread. Sorry someone dateraped your cousin/niece whatever. That doesn't mean UT is just a rapin' away in the AD and covering it up. It's statistically probably the same amount of rape as everywhere else with the same demographic makeup. It's not an excuse, but there have been many policies put into place to try to lower the risk of rape and educate people on campus about what sexual assault is.
This also isn't a fucking rape discussion thread, it's a god damned bowl game thread. Get back on topic or go post in the literal baylor rape thread that exists.
