    No. New county. Her story is she thinks the brother is pulling strings with his position as LEO. I’m skeptical but willing to give her a roadmap on what she can do if there is anything possible to be done. 
    spoke to a mutual friend and she’s been telling her the same thing and says that she did listen to a recording and it was bad as in the guy being extremely verbally abusive,  it nothing physical on the tape. 


    look, I’m not saying anything for sure because I just simply don’t know enough about the whole situation, but I can say because my wife’s family is respected LE that that can carry a ton of weight in communities. 
    im not necessarily saying everyone is corrupt, but it feels like to me that at the very least homeboy has a direct line to the ear of the DA somehow. Maybe it his family, maybe he’s a CI, maybe it’s lots of stuff. 
    All you can do is document, document, document. The power in Texas resides with the DAs prosecutorial discretion sure, but eventually there will be a new DA who will listen. 
    it’s way worse when the bastard is connected to a judge.

    Can’t get over that hat. Not everyone can pull that off. 

    I saw it the other day when @LTtxfan posted the update and it just stuck with me in the back of my head. I wasn’t sure if i liked it or hated it. Now, i think i can say confidently that is some dope ass shit. Baller look Selvin.

    LOL, another NIL thread about a school-other-than-Texas where @RGBIII is immediately shitting on it and telling everyone how "illegal" it is!  We get it dude we heard the podcast, you spent 30 years studying the in's-and-out's of NIL law and you know it better than the compliance departments, yada yada yada.

    I'm fairly certain you haven't seen the contract this recruit signed.  You're reading a 2nd or 3rd hand characterization of it and making black and white assumptions.  That's dumb.  With the lawyers involved, it's probably legal.  "Spirit" of NIL is just bullshit that people trot out when they feel mad that someone else got one over on them.

    Not illegal:

    • Not inducement: it's written into the terms itself per the Athletic.  You can argue all you want about how this contract and aggy are actually bags and they'll cut off the players but ain't none of that in the contract itself and verbal doesn't count.
    • Not pay for play: the player can go to another school from wherever he originally signs and retain the benefit of the contract, JUST LIKE JARED WILEY is with Burnt Ends (said you on the podcast) even though he's transferred to TCU.
    • Not a college-enrolled student-athlete: you're getting your panties knotted on this. Per Opendorse, if this recruit is in California (likely), Utah, Nebraska, Kansas, New York and a number of other states they are legally allowed to sign NIL deals as a high-school student.  Unlike QE here in Texas unfortunately.

    Aside from definitely not being illegal, even if it were, who exactly is going to enforce any rules breaking?  Not the toothless NCAA.  So long as a NIL collective can provide the basic stamp of legality, we'll see the edges on this keep getting pushed out further and further until someone finds a line to cross.  Of course that won't be Texas, because we're purer than the driven snow, by gaud.

     

    Yep.

    And these schools have the money to hammer out the ambiguity in court. Its not the the NCAA is going to take away NCs. 

    This is the wildest time when financial regulations are first employed. There’s so many situations that can contradict the intention of the law. Instead of Demas going to Tomball, who’s to say he doesn’t go to CA? 

    Everyone is battening for position right now and UT is trying to high-road it, but everyone else is calling the white collar criminal accounting experts to learn how to fuck this system sideways. Its going to 3-5 years before the NCAA can get a handle on this and is probably going to be because of sad stories of kids burning up in a white hot ball of drugs, money and fury.

    Russians are all over the City-Data forum spreading their bullshit propaganda lies.

    It’s messed up, but i would guess most of those people are good people, they just don’t know or want to know what they have been told is bullshit. Its a hard place to be as a person and surprisingly worse when it’s an entire country

    I have no idea why in this day and age, young adults still put stupid shit into their bodies, knowing all good and well all the shit that's out there, and what it can do to you.

     

    Its not just kids. Ive seen board certified physicians in high positions do blow.

    I have no idea why the most powerful nation in the history of the Earth puts up with a porous border allowing this literal poison to come in at ever increasing amounts on a daily basis.

    Because people here make as much money off of it as the Mexicans who are producing it. Its not something that is being done to us, its something people in power are actively let happen because they are making lot and lots of money.

    I don't care if a motherfucker is 6'2", 235, runs a 4.3 forty and a 3.9 shuttle, has fly paper hands and walks on water, if he is too lazy or fucking stupid to spell the word "what" correctly, go elsewhere.

    Saw that vid on the Qualifiedcaptain account yesterday (BTW, a hysterical follow -- I recommend).

    I recognized the harbor immediately, but didn't realize it was a stolen boat, and thought what the everloving fuck?  Then, saw it was some sort of nutbar incident, and shrugged my shoulders.  But yes, let this be a lesson -- do not commit a property crime against the Orange County rich folks.  They are touchy about that sort of thing.
