  1. I refuse to believe the news doesn't drop at some point today. At this rate I'm almost certain to be fired, though unclear whether it'll be due to my internet history on the firm's devices/wifi or my lack of productivity. Please, Quinn, pull the trigger. For the children millennial wagies.
  2. Don't how that would work practically speaking considering these are companies and organizations not affiliated with the university/program in the traditional sense. And now that we've opened the "college players deserve to be compensated for use of their image and likeness" floodgates, much like a traditional job, any sweeping efforts to cap/minimize the amount that can be paid out (particularly on an arbitrary, program-by-program basis) would likely be viewed as unfair restrictions on their right to earn - something that labor laws don't tend to look favorably on. Taking it a step further, there's also an anti-competitive practices angle that could be argued, kind of akin to price fixing -- why should Star Player A be cut off from earning what companies are willing to pay him just because the team collectively is earning $X? Then there's the whole, "who is going to impose these limitations" question. Certainly not the NCAA, think that goes without saying. Perhaps state legislatures, but any bills will be scrutinized and see legal challenges aplenty for things like above and much much more. The faucet has been turned on, it's a new industry with extreme market size potential, and there are now countless students (current, former and future) that will fight tooth and nail to prevent any restrictions, not to mention the agents, lawyers and uncles just as motivated to do the same to protect (and grow) their slice of the pie.
  3. Yes. The peppermint shake is also delicious, if you're in to that sorta thing. #chickfilatalknotgoingaway
  4. Ketch publicly showed our hand (and his ass), again. CoitusPorn on 247 is in a group text with a bunch of San Antonio Spurs who are saying that Ewers is locked in to UT and is bringing two long-snappers with him. Tim Duncan's jet just flew from Dallas to Austin. Del Frisco's has conceded defeat. Think that about covers it.
  5. They've already skipped ahead to the bargaining phase. Bullish.
  6. We've got posters out here barely making (burnt) ends meet, too poor for three fitty, and you're out here boasting your BANNER money? If I had banner money, wouldn't work another day in my life.
  7. Cody Campbell, co-founder of Double Eagle/Point Energy, anticipating the question.
  8. If NIL will inevitably ruin college football, might as well be a first mover and ruin it to our advantage.
  9. (post/rep count notwithstanding)
  10. Hit him up and ask whether Ewers is in the bag. Then ask what he thought of Palmetto Golf Club yesterday. Won't freak him out at all. Edit: Nevermind, @Ravishing Rick is already on it!
  11. Because fuck it, why not, another hit of speculation: Found a plane (Tail No. N512LL) that's wiped itself from FlightAware. It just touched down on the east side of Austin Bergstrom on a trip from Dallas Executive. It's co-owned by the McMinn Law Firm and the CEO of an Austin-based property management company. The founders of those firms/companies are both UT alumni, and one of them (Jason McMinn) was a Spur. The flight took off from Dallas right about noon today, roughly 15 minutes after LotusCorn posted the news re Ewers purportedly from the Spurs group chat.
  12. I, for one, am pumped we have finally have some more delectable rumors from a message board insider. Don't even care if LotusCorn is right, just needed that hit.
  13. Post was made at 11:40 a.m. CST, so roughly 17 minutes ago. Honestly, the Spurs text chat story more believable than the weed dealers and other "sources" we've got so far. Put him in the calculator. Edit: LotusCorn joined the 247 board in December 2017 and has ~260 posts there, one of them being the past "scoop" he mentions about Card being the starter - which was posted on 8/25. Too lazy to check where that falls in relation to when that announcement was made by Sark publicly.
