So what does Texas One mean toward paying all student athletes?

That we are going to be paying everyone and everyone can participate

2) The LHF is going to play a critical role in driving the fund growth, starting now. The athletic department and CDC are fully behind this and they understand that if you aren't the best in NIL, you aren't winning. The colleges sports world has changed. 

The most important part of this announcement on all fronts.

Outside of unifying all initiatives under one umbrella, which wasn't a small feat for the parties involved, there are two really big things here:

1) All players in all sports will be making money at Texas, and in non-trivial amounts. That doesn't even include corporate sponsoring efforts. The goal is to create a competitive advantage for every sport against its own landscape. This will outpace South Carolina for WBB, set the bar in FB, compete with LSU in baseball, etc. 

2) The LHF is going to play a critical role in driving the fund growth, starting now. The athletic department and CDC are fully behind this and they understand that if you aren't the best in NIL, you aren't winning. The colleges sports world has changed. 

The original goal of creating something best in class to run alongside the LHF is now fully in bloom. 

Absolutely.

Yup, thats why we unified. So Texas can point to one organization alone. We just added the might of the Texas AD, compliance and most importantly the LHF

Thank you both and everyone else involved.  I know unifying our disparate alumni factions and creating a vehicle that both the larger donors and more casual fans can participate wasn't easy but elevating the floor for UT athletic support is huge and getting the sheer number of fans involved that can't give 1000+ but can contribute 5/10/50/100 will be a differentiator from smaller schools which rely on just a few bmd.

Thanks for the thoughts. The original HWH team getting the original IP out into the open and getting the longform IRS approval were instrumental in all of this. That's @SquishMitten @RGBIII @SydneyCarton @immamac @GlenFromTheMailRoom and a few others not on this board, but instrumental and/or fundamental. One of our more famous recruiting related alums should have a fucking statue erected in his honor outside of the stadium at the end of this. One of our buddies and a former UT QB walk-on was also critical in the development of this. 

RGBIII and the other HWH members have been selfless in navigating the handing off of the entity to the bigger group. Credit to those other groups for handling things in the same way. 

There are going to be some really important things on a sport by sport basis flashing soon.

Always have thought Burton was one of the good guys.

I was coming here to post something similar, but without the imagery akin to sticking a baby in a blender. 

In many ways the end result was because of something that started with folks on this board just deciding to dive in and work without waiting for anyone to tell us we couldn't or shouldn't. Personally, I'm proud of that. 

You should be man. Good work.
