I mean, yeah, if it's because of Baugh or some other known quantity RB1, then maybe it's ok.
But if it's for some incoming frosh, or because Wisner is discontent running behind a shit line, well that's something else.
If you believe in things like advanced metrics (yards after contact, breakaway speed) people would realize we had the 16th best running back room in the SEC. It was time for an entire rebuild down to the studs. -

Moore had agreed to a number heading into last December that people could make sense of, even if it was high and based more on hope for 2025 than anything he’d done up that point.
They then waited until Texas had sorted its commitments out to retention, to guys in the portal and the signing class, at which point they doubled their ask, bringing it up massively. The choice was to meet the ask rather than risk not having a replacement and even facing, if I remember correctly, the premise of him leaving before the ASU or Ohio State game (can’t remember which).
That ultimately impacted the ability to land other portal guys who had an interest in Texas at other key positions.
Now the dude is asking for something like $1M. I hope Texas laughed in his fucking face. I think he is worth backup money to someone else, but they’ll find someone desperate and he’ll get $500K or something. For Texas, having him on the roster and drawing a paycheck puts other players at risk of leaving. So, yeah, fuck him.
The renegotiating ahead of the playoff game put him in Nico Iamalavea territory for me. It’s purely transactional now and he was not that good. Wasn’t he also the asshole that went out of bounds against Kentucky that almost cost us the game? Even if he wasn’t good fucking riddance. -

Agree, but the only real solution is to tell anybody not in the P4 to fuck off unless you have a team ranked in the top 12(and probably Notre Dame that they ahem need to join one of those P4 conferences). They won't, though and I suspect that will eventually lead to the SEC and B1G telling them all to fuck off and going and doing their own NFL style thing.
No guarantee at all for any G5 team. Period. They have to be selected in on their own merit. I don’t even want to talk about a fucking G5 team unless they are undefeated and they beat a legit P4 team in their non conference. -

Texas Roster 2026

A million dollars could quite literally buy you 10 running backs the equivalent of Wisner.
