I get what you’re saying, and 100% agree, but this is such a supremely dickheaded way of commenting about a Longhorn that has given his body and apparently career to play here. 

My heart goes out to you, man. Eventually, you’ll realize that these guys are all now getting paid, demanding to be treated as adults, demanding more for less on more than an annual basis.

Glad Baxter came here, but he’s been paid handsomely and when he leaves, it’s because his latest monetary ask wasn’t met. Then when you look at what came out of the capital for him, from people never getting anything back, the overall contribution was net neutral at best. 

Are you a big Lance McCullers guy as well? 

I can’t wait to read your “he was such a good kid, good luck young man!” posts about Moore Jr and Muhammad also.

CTJ is completely on point.  

The new reality is that players need to have realistic expectations of their value to their current team.  Those who don't (or their handlers) need to FAFO.

The further into the NIL process, the more rational the market will be for the most part.

If this means any number of fan favorites will take a walk, so be it.

If we are wish casting, I would see if Dakorien Moore would talk to us now that Oregon promoted a literal retard as its offensive coordinator? He’s every bit as talented as Coleman and more of the type of receiver Sark likes.

He’s injured right now and it could be serious enough to impact his performance next season. So I would not have him on the wish list until his exact injury is confirmed.

CJ Baxter had 30 carries for 86 yards in SEC play capped off by a 6 carry, 10 yard effort against A&M. No way they renew his $500K or whatever NIL deal with that production.

 

I seriously think we could have given every non-Wisner carry to Colin Page and a couple of other walk-ons and the results would have been similar.

CJ is not a kid you tell to hit the portal. I think it’s fair to adjust his NIL but you don’t tell a kid like him there’s no spot for him on the team.  You find a role and hope in year 2 post injury he is able to stay healthy and be great is his role.

People may not agree, but I feel like we are in an age of professional athletics in college football. There is no salary cap, no collective bargaining agreement, and basically a free market where players and universities can do whatever they want within the law. There isn't loyalty one way or the other. It is an open market where the highest bidder wins. And the contracts allow both parties to renegotiate based on their whims.

He’s not worth his ask and the bid-ask are chasms apart. You absolutely wish him well and move on given the needs across the roster and the goals for next season.  Folks can grumble about loyalty and professional sports and the CFB days of yore and such, but the sentimental programs are getting left in the dust. Ask a Clemson fan if you need further confirmation. 

Texas is upper tier in NIL without being able to be stupid like Tech, Oregon, Michigan and a few others. They have plenty of money to utilize but they cannot just sling mid 6 figures out to beaten up backs who look like they have had their lick.

If he goes from making however much money to $0, then he's not staying regardless of how nicely they tell him.
