  1. It will be hard to say no to the cash bag in hand, no strings attached vs sign with us, wait a year to enroll and then over the course of 4 years assuming everything goes well and you don’t transfer or are shown a trap door, x amount of dollars will be yours! oversimplified, yes but this doesn’t take into account schools that have a good NIL game and supplement a bag game to go with it. NIL simply increases the $ pie for the players and allow “clean programs” to compete without getting aggy level dirty. No bag game will still be a disadvantage going forward. It doesn’t become irrelevant
  2. Yellow journalism on a bulletin board! First time for everything, I guess. I’ll do my part to not let that happen again. If nothing else comes from this at least you acknowledge that you are wasting your time here. I learned that a while back.
  3. Your point sucks because it is made up. I said “ But I was told by ctj that bag games will be irrelevant.“. this is accurate and you verified above. You believe it will be come irrelevant after the next few classes. Ok great. I happen to think it will still be relevant after the next few classes. We can see what happens or just have a race and let the winner be correct for now.
  4. I know you hate being wrong so apologies in advance but you must have me confused with another mantis poster. There are a couple of them with subtle name differences. I wasn’t even on here during the Strong era. although I can confirm your point about me being a whiny bitch. It suits me particularly well on this message board.
  5. I’d wager that bag games can and will still play a significant role for many of the top players, if not most. Still a lot of money to be made prior to stepping on campus before any NIL payments start. to think otherwise is naive.
  6. I think it is safe to assume, given the interest he as shown in us to date coupled with the fact he is a deep Louisiana high end prospect, we are.
  7. Frankly, without an operational bag/NIL system that equals or beats the other top flight institutions, you won’t find a coach be successful at Texas now or in the future.
  8. Honestly, if they did not feel a sense of urgency by getting mushroom stamped by the big 12, not sure why the SEC would be different, unless this is an NIL specific comment.
  9. Bump. agreed - not sure this can be reconciled. Add in Bo Davis and the comment that he couldn’t get through compliance seems silly.
  10. This by all accounts is a fine, fine post
  11. According to someone who attended the alumni lunch prior to the OU game, CDC was basically openly asking the alumni to help pay players through NIL. Acknowledging it’s open season and Texas would be a full participant perhaps someone here can verify that was actually there, as this was 2nd hand info.
  12. Without knowing anything, it seems like the this one has been trending away for some time now.
  13. Hard to believe this staff “passed” on Keyonte. And by that I mean it is hard to believe.
  14. Oh dear. That will amuse me more than it should. Bets on which 9.95 is first? My money would have been on the guy that left for the notre dame gig (I think) with the dorky wedding picture. Can’t believe I forgot his name. With the current lot, no front runners come to mind
  15. There is that “competitive “ word again. I hope it means what I think it means
  16. Well then can you clear it up for me? The $ sign is pretty unmistakable. It has been established here by those that would know that we are doing what it takes to compete with SEC teams to bring in players that are looking for such incentives. Specifically NIL or not there can be no way we lose a recruit to SMU for $ whatever form it takes. just ridiculous
  17. Come on now. I refuse to believe that SMU is out NILing us, if you are insinuating that with the $ sign. If that is actually the case then just we just can forget about ever being competitive again.
