Wisner chose not to attend and meet with them. "Originally I was led to think Wisner was going to be present for that meeting, but come to find out the conversation was only between folks from Texas and Wisner's representatives."
Dude they met with him, then after they turned down his million asking price, he choose not to meet with them and just have his representatives meet with Texas.
It adds up to a certain degree. Wisner's ego got involved, he felt disrespected, asked for a big number, got rebuffed on that, didn't attend future meetings, heard the talk about bringing in a bell cow, and it all snowballed. I think Wisner and his team misread his position with the team and didn't like reality.
Reined in how? A salary cap? That just brings the bag game back.
If they were paying players when it was illegal to do such they sure as heck aren't going to abide by a salary cap.
This is a bad decision for Weisner. I love what he's done for us, but he has shown he can't bear up as the feature back. Whole he knows the difference between injured and hurt, the nicks he picks up through the season limit his effectiveness. He would have been better served staying at Texas then going elsewhere.
This should go over well for Georgia

Just curious, do we know if @BurntOrange&White is still pissed Sark is being lazy and hasn't signed anyone out of the portal yet? With all this talent available I'm sure he's concerned.
The football board was always a descent into mental hell. It has it's perks though. The idiocy during the game threads is cheap therapy about how messed up some of those posters lives must be.
Bounced? I'm fairly confident we would have beat any of the 1st round teams this year....but yeah compared to what 85% or so of what longhorn football has looked like in my 45 years on this planet....this year as the "bad year" doesn't sound too shabby.
The big money guys that could force a move, are a lot more realistic than the morons on the football board. It'll take a lot of 9-3 seasons before they start putting pressure on Sark. They want good football and a respectable program. I could see the team being Sarks best team next year and 9-3 isn't a bad season. You've got OSU, OU, at Tennessee, at LSU, at TAMU...Who knows what Ole miss will be next year.
As long as the wheels don't come off somewhere or Sark doesn't get hit with a scandal he could go 7-5 next year and he won't be fired. His seat will be awfully hot, but he won't get canned.
