In the time of NIL , it's in nobodies interest for Texas to be " back".
any school with the means, and any ambition to try and compete for a national championship will have knives out for Texas.
National media will quote anonymous sources about how Sark can't cut it.
SEC talking heads will say Texas is irrelevant.
And any school that's playing the game will pull out the stops to take " our" prospects.
Silents/ leans will miraculously commit to another school out of the blue. Please see Demas, Leal et al.
In a lot of peoples minds Texas may have finally reached a tipping point on the path back to greatness. The administration and boosters finally coming together to hire an outstanding staff. The money end with NIL coming together. And other schools see this. Andnits in their interest, now more than ever , to try and put a stick in our spokes at any turn.
Get used to the Cam Williams thing till we have the record on the field to counter the knives in the dark.
