Yeah, that's why the pro sports leagues around the world don't have contracts and none have salary caps. Free ass wide open anything goes payment to players in team sports is the best thing for the sport and consumers of the sporting product.
I think his point is that professional sports teams actually have an ownership that ideally would like to make money. If a donor/NIL collective sponsors a player, they are not the “ownership” in this scenario (the school). In fact, the school’s profit is not influenced by the player “payroll”. If you wanna argue that NIL funds not driving on-field success could impact donations, that’s another argument altogether.
If you wanna argue a bigger market team having more money is a bad thing for a sport being competitive/“fair”, that’s a pretty subjective issue. But, it is an objective fact that this is an advantage for Texas right now and I am all for it.

Stahp before I start worrying about the numbers
I’d give it 2-3 days before the kool aid starts flowing and we hear from the practice reports about how Banks/Williams/Umeozulu are the next Sam Cosmi and Campbell could play anywhere on the line.

Isn’t this the general university athletics account? Not sure they’d be tweeting like this about a football transfer.

So was Octavion, but even as a rookie he had a higher understanding of the game and was able to make Rome the dominant team of his era. Coach-on-the-field type who made everyone around him better.
Aw shucks, I tried my best

If Card needs that decision to be ‘official’, that tells you everything you need to know about his own decision-making ability…
Pretty sure he’s sticking around just to get his McCombs degree and solidify that Sark pedigree now. Not many better business schools with good football programs.

Who's the kid with the USA t-shirt?
Jordan Addison’s brother. We are making him feel at home/treating him just as well as Jordan or better.

Hopefully the defensive staff is recruiting him at whatever position he prefers to play.

From Gerry:
Inside Texas has been told that Jordan Addison is wrapping up his official visit. He's leaving Austin tomorrow.
Addison is expected to visit USC before making a decision.Well I guess that’s that, then? Although a four day visit is probably longer than most people expected this to go. Perhaps this will be an Ochaun Mathis situation but in our favor.

Agreed, people keep citing the fact that A&M had two freshman on their line last year when they played Bama but A&M’s left tackle was an upperclassman transfer.
