  1. The older Big 12 title trophies were crystal. There'll all lined up on a single big wall at the Texas Athletics HoF. The three football trophies look a bit like the old UPI trophies they gave out to the coaches' poll national champions back in the day, but they look way too new to be from the 1960s and they're silver-coloured instead of gold-coloured.
  2. What are those three football trophies on the left in the second picture? They kind of look like DKR's national title trophies
  3. The 6.2L V8 on the new Escalade is unreliable and gets a wildly impractical 12 mpg but it has a goddamn IMAX screen in the dashboard. That's always going to appeal to a high school kid, financial counseling or no.
  4. Uh-oh.
  5. 🙄 Media is openly cheering for Texas to get fucked over in these types of recruitments, all in the name of 'parity'. Sark hasn't even won a national title yet and we're already getting cast as the evil bad guys of CFB again. Dan Wetzel: All of college football ought to cheer for Texas Tech
  6. Nathan Kalman-Lamb: How oppressive Florida State revenue-sharing deals show continued exploitation of college football players
  7. Daniel Hager: Brett Yormark claims Big 12 will be 'the deepest football conference in America'
  8. Sadly, if you look at Burnette's Twitter, he seems as backwards now as he was back in 2008.

  10. how the heck does Syracuse have a five-star commit?
  11. If Curry just got the hell away from the ball, so much would have been different for UT over the following decade. A triumphant Akers gets buy-in from boosters + recruits after reaching the promised land and competes on even terms with Switzer, Sherrill's momentum at A&M is blunted, and we don't panic-hire McWilliams. Once Switzer is busted and Sherrill fizzles out we run the SWC in its final years before heading to the Pac-10 in 1992 on a high note, while A&M and Tech are relegated to joining the Big Eight. Instead 1985-1995 was a absolute graveyard of a decade where Switzer, Sherrill and Slocum took turns beating us every season.
  12. Eric Nahlin: Kosi Okpala's recruitment tells an interesting evaluation story
  13. What is in the water at that godforsaken school?

  15. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6414771/2025/06/10/nil-house-settlement-paying-athletes-deals-ncaa/ The new enforcement terms under the House settlement instruct college athletes to declare any third-party NIL deals worth at least $600 into a clearinghouse database. The idea is that the clearinghouse, dubbed “NIL Go” and managed by the accounting firm Deloitte, will serve as a restrictor plate on NIL collectives and pay-for-play, flagging deals that do not reflect a valid business purpose or fall within a reasonable range of compensation. Yahoo Sports reported that at the recent ACC spring meetings, Deloitte officials shared that 70 percent of past deals from NIL collectives would be denied under the new clearinghouse. But in candid conversations, coaches and recruiting staffers have serious doubts that athletes will declare those deals, or do so accurately. Some have suggested that players are being encouraged not to declare deals at all, but to simply take the money and keep quiet rather than risk the clearinghouse flagging it. And if that’s the case, where do we suspect that money might be coming from? “I guess it would just be the same as the way things used to work,” lamented the athletic director, frustrated by those already angling to undermine the settlement. “We’d be right back where we started.” History suggests that power-thirsty boosters paying athletes under the table is a tough thing to police — particularly after collectives spent the past few years streamlining the art of bag dropping. Now, instead of an envelope of cash in a player’s locker, it’s a direct deposit into their bank account. (The IRS might complicate that process under the House settlement, but that’s what payment apps are for.) “If some donor wants to wire a player $25,000 a month, who’s keeping track of that?” one power conference administrator said. Money wires aside, the system of boosters paying players is much more sophisticated and far less frowned upon, and it’s going to be impossible to put that infrastructure back into the tube.
