@CTJ, you, @campcrunk, @texifonia and others have all given wonderful insights. A simple fact from the House ruling that no one has mentioned yet is that if money from either side crosses a state line, you get the BIG boys in suits involved...that becomes an FBI issue. Texas isn't going to play fast and loose with this. aggie already is and, shit don't they still owe their supposed academic side about 20M? Those fools will bankrupt. LSU takes federal funds to pay players. Nothing new from Louisiana, last state to obey federal laws on drinking, have federal funds for interstates withheld (thankfully, I'll admit I was buying drive thru daiquiris at 15 with extra shots of Everclear - wait, that may have been negative for me). Not cloak room, but you don't fuck with the hammer the FBI can bring. Hell, they recruited me! They didn't like my question on, I get to carry a gun always as an accountant? 1997.
We will get the recruits we need as always. We're not playing any cheating games - didn't under DKR even. Some schools beg for relevance and use bags, illegal funds, whatever, Texas doesn't.
