We’re in a NFL style era of championship windows, Sark has to win a title in the next two years with the roster he has built before we are in rebuild mode. I just don’t believe that Texas is going to have some late surge of flips and sign a top 3 class, that just strikes me as wish casting. Either Texas just doesn’t have the free funds to match other offers given how loaded and expensive our roster is. Or we are going to see the most epic, meltdown, drama filled plane crash if schools are the lying to the order of millions of dollars they don’t have. I really just don’t believe it’s the latter, as much as I want it to be.

Come on, dude.  It’s simple.  We have smart people managing the money and the roster.  The schools at the top, aside from Notre Dame, are full of lying scumbags and dumbasses.  I’m awaiting the implosions and, for aggy, the sequel to the best class ever nuclear meltdown.  Somehow I expect Lane Kiffin to benefit mightily from the equivocation of this cycle.

If you opt out you are basically done with college athletics

Opting in or out is for plaintiff class members -- athletes.  The defendants are the NCAA and P5 conferences, who are parties to and bound by the settlement.  I'm not sure any universities are actual defendants.

The only opting in or out by universities is leaving their conference.

“Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: We’re Going To Repeat A Lot Of NIL Discussion” 

If we have to choose a Green Day motif, can we choose something other than their most terrible song?

”Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Dookie”, for instance. 

Do you have the time 

To listen to me whine

About nothing and everything all at once?

This is how I’ve been feeling. The smart NFL organizations twist themselves into all sorts of cap hell to make a run and then spend 2-3 years unwinding the mess and retooling.

Our boosters just got the hat passed to them to land a #1 class, bring in a bunch of key portal pieces, and also retain substantially everyone from arguably the most talented roster in CFB. That wasn’t cheap. Now we’re in bidding wars for DTs that won’t even see the field until Arch is in a New Orleans Saints jersey? I could definitely see people saying let’s actually win something, then we’ll talk.

Thanks for making last plays of the last two seasons feel worse

I haven't been paying a lot of attention to recruiting this cycle, but it seems like almost all of our recruiting "losses" these past few weeks were to out of state talent that up until a few years ago these recruits wouldn't have responded to our phone calls, and now we're in their final 2 or 3 schools. Thats a good trend going forward, even if it hurts to lose these last handful of out-of-state recruits.

Are we talking late Mack era bad or what?

worse.  mack won a championship and got us to another that we’d clearly have won if the starting qb doesn’t go down.  sark didn’t even get us to a championship game before his wheels came off and he shit all over himself.
