    Where are these schools getting the money to pay players because according the USA Today revenue only something like 30 schools made money and that was not anywhere near an extra 20.5 million. 

    I guess you haven't been paying attention. This is having a drastic impact on our Olympic/non-revenue sports.  Over a 1000  roster spots have been eliminated across D1 athletics.  For example SFA shut down their Beach, Bowling and Tennis programs.  UTEP got rid of their tennis program.  Cal Poly got rid of swim and dive I believe.  There's a lot more if you care to look.  UT is uniquely positioned to fund all of this, most are not going to be capable.  Also, just because you CAN share $20MM doesn't mean you will.  Most non-P4 and even some P4 will have much smaller revenue sharing capabilities.

    Gerry has already been on record of this line of thinking. Now it seems Bobby is on the line of thinking as well

    But the guys here said no way it would! 

    When you put a cap on the amount of money whether that cap is $0 or $20MM people will find a way to funnel more money to gain an advantage.

    I didn't see a Beach Recruiting thread.

    Leann Wise, '27, commits to Texas.

    "She's a 6'0" blocker with a 8.84 TruVolley rating and moves very quick. She has notable wins at events including P1440 Junior's national championship in 2024 and the AVP East Coast Championships late 2024."

    "Leann Wise is top 3 in the class and I’ve seen all ‘27s play for years. Aggressive, smart options, flys around the court. She’s going to be a force and I am not a longhorn fan whatsoever."

     

    She's the top player in the class. Incredible kid, super smart too

    Unrelated to this year's Cup, but for next year and beyond, is there realistic hope that men's and women's T&F will improve much? It's obviously a different recruiting game, but we're in a talent-rich region and should be able to pull enough athletes to be Top 10. 

    If we actually find the scholarships that are proposed in the House agreement you'll see UT rocket to the top. Very few schools are even considering that
