My understanding of the reasoning for the return of bags is that they would avoid the new independent clearing house and fair market value requirements. The settlement basically sets up two pathways for payments to players: revenue sharing and NIL (which can come from the school or third parties). Revenue sharing is capped (~$20M) and can be doled out as a school sees fit. NIL is not capped, but all deals worth more than $600 dollars will have to go through an independent clearing house where they will be reviewed to ensure that they are fair market value for a valid business purpose. The clearing house will have the power to reject a deal that is pay-for-play. So, if Starting DT X’s NIL has a fair market value of $Y, then bags theoretically offer a competitive advantage if they are going to be greater than $Y because theoretically the only other option would be to add more and more NIL obligations for Starting DT X, and he only has so many hours he can spend signing autographs and copy/pasting tweets. Personally, I think it’s too early to know how the settlement will impact things. The clearing house thing seems like it will either work very well or terribly - probably terribly. Texas should be well-equipped to navigate the new landscape, whatever it may be.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: They Can't Keep Getting Away With This
Bodacious Bevo replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Are they comparing the player or the recruitment to Moore? -
If Nagy realized it was fucked up, why did Stone have to enter the portal to get it corrected? That seems like something that could be straightened out privately

Here are his posts on OB from today. Don’t see anything about TJ but he seems to thinks he’s probably done for the year -
Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread

I also get the sense some of Schloss’s complaints were with the people themselves (e.g., putting newspapers up to avoid seeing the cheerleaders) That said, we need to fix the issue with empty seats behind home plate -
I have no idea what you’re talking about with the recruiting stuff. The only high schooler’s stats I’ve looked at in the last five years is Arch, which I hope is understandable. Maybe you’re confusing me with another Bevo-inspired handle. As to the baseball convo, there’s three parts: A) I think Farmer is actually good (.309 in SEC play with a hit in all but one game), B) Jonah has a small sample against some pretty poor pitching, and C) coaches generally opt for experience in the case of ties. That said, the things that have impressed me the most about Jonah so far are his eyes and discipline at the plate, even in his pinch hitting appearances when he was probably desperate to swing. He’s already in the top half of the lineup in that regard which is pretty crazy. That might be enough to win him the spot as his numbers come back to Earth. He should absolutely be ahead of Duplantier and Winfield, fwiw.

Not to be a party pooper, but it’s probably the guy with 9 ABs that’s going back to the bench when Belyeu returns

So we’ve qualified for the post season before Easter?

Nothing in the fifth, but it’s ok. We just need Kimble and Borba to get us to the Farmer/Williams/Duplantier trio

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor

OTF was consistent in their reporting yesterday and this morning that we hadn’t offered. Guess that changed -
If you make that statement you need to name the 2-4 NIL earners that you’d cut to make it happen

First of the 2022 OL to portal. That’s pretty incredible -

At some point the 2022 class deserves a retrospective. It’s kind of weird - the OL haul played a major role in our return to prominence, but the rest of the class busted pretty hard and has left us young and inexperienced. The only non-OL/ST that contributed as juniors or remain on the roster for their senior years are Jaydon Blue, Jaylon Guilbeau, and Ethan Burke. Hitting on 3 of 19 non-OL/ST is pretty poor. A lot of coaches wouldn’t have been able to survive such a high bust rate in their first class. Just a weird class with a lot of interesting dynamics. Sark’s first full class, last class before the full SEC and NIL effects, highly ranked but immediately followed by a class that could go down as an all-time great, etc. Something more relevant to current transfer discussions is high school WR recruiting under Sark. It’s probably the second worst position haul in his tenure. I think it’s fair to say it’s disappointed compared to initial expectations given the reputation of Sark’s offense and the accolades his WRs have won. 2021 (transition): Xavier Worthy, Jaden Alexis, Keithron Lee, Casey Cain 2022: Brenen Thompson, Savion Red 2023: Johntay Cook, Ryan Niblett, DeAndre Moore 2024: Ryan Wingo, Aaron Butler, Freddie Dubose, Parker Livingstone 2025: Kaliq Lockett, Jaime Ffrench, Michael Terry III, Daylan McCutcheon The ‘21 class can be entirely excused imo. The only guy that was really his was an all-time great for us. ‘22 was horrific. Only 1 of the 3 in ‘23 is still playing the position for us. ‘24 looks like it could be really good, with one guy looking primed for a huge year and Ryan Wingo looking good too. Early returns on the ‘25 class seem better than the ‘21 - ‘23 classes, at least. There are some mitigating factors, of course. WR coaching issues the first two years, NIL allocation decisions across positions, the portal, etc. These just aren’t the results we were expecting when we hired Sark. -
Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor

Logan Parr and Jamier Johnson are the most successful expats that I’m aware of, but neither were guys that we minded losing. Parr had a couple All-ACC years for SMU and made the playoffs last year Johnson started last year for Indiana and made the playoffs. It’s now a weird situation because they recruited a couple CBs in the winter portal window despite returning both starters and Johnson is now not with the program I haven’t seen Niblack’s name mentioned yet. I’d have liked to keep him another year, but it’s probably not a big deal. Hopefully that works out like Terrance Brooks -
It does say top available WR. Guys that have already signed elsewhere aren’t available
