No facial hair, no hair to the shoulders, pants always be worn at the ankles or above.

Been a rule for Texas baseball forever.

And we've been to 38 CWS.

I think the image of Texas is important. I think it gets guys in the right headspace to play for the program and not themselves. 

I say it whenever anyone leaves - we want guys that want to play for Texas. It's a big deal and it's not a good fit for every player.

I know.  And again, I'm all for it.  

I'm just wondering if it has an effect on recruiting.  Do we miss out on this guy because he wants his long hair, beard, gold chains, silly eye black, etc....(his swag)?

I agree 100%.  

We've obviously had success in the past adhering to the standards.  Is it sustainable in the future, or is overall baseball culture shifting away in a manner that makes it harder to do?  NIL lends itself to being a "character", having a sellable image, etc.  Will players be as willing going forward to lose all the individual bullshit and play within a culture like ours?

If you would like to offer a blank check to NIL efforts we can have Tommy Whites on the team
