If they're willing to take both Lott and Bey, then I have no idea why they waited so late to offer Bey. Ohio State offered him back in January, we offered him 4 days ago.

I’d rather them spend that NIL on an elite portal receiver. 

Trying to read tea leaves here, but perhaps this is an indication that there’s some not obvious attrition expected in the WR room.

I mean just your average tax evasion scheme. Unless the businesses files the W2, so the NCAA/clearing house would know about it. It would be very easy to make all athletes submit their tax returns.

I think what people are finding funny is that it’s being called a “new workaround” when it’s been going on everywhere for decades, including here.

Which is pretty funny if you think about it: We didn't spend the crazy amount of money that we did on 5 star wide receiver commits just to have them ride the pine. But, that is what they did.

Probably words to live by for every non-starter freshman at every University in the country.  The question is whether you can push they guy who is currently better and getting more snaps than you out of the way?  Or are you certain that while you were unable to make yourself happy with your achievements at Texas, can you guarantee a bigger check or playing time starting over.  I think soon you we may see some sort of legislation restricting the movement of players.  Just to give more than 6 month stability to rosters?

I never fault a kid for trying to put themselves in a better situation.  But being a starter at Texas, even if you have to sit a year or two, is starting to become a pretty lucrative route beyond the NIL checks.  So they unhappy freshmen have to weigh that future potential as well. And if you do not see a route to eventual playing time, I would look around too.

But ALL freshmen, not getting a lot of playing time are disappointed, and unhappy. Almost Universally, because they truly believe that if they could just get some more reps, they could prove they deserve more playing time.  That has been true since college football was played with leather helmets.
