    It was bags not NIL

    They don’t understand the difference.  Many think they can now pay recruits and they dont realize there is a compliance component.    Giving a recruit 20k for an autograph is illegal and giving that to a current player or transfer is not market value   

    and to the above discussion, aggy probably does crank out 3/4 million per decade when you add in their grads, anyone who took classes there or any of their system schools, Blinn JC, people who live in Katy, and any others who identify as aggy.  

    They are becoming so prolific with diminishing standards that just about any redneck can claim to be aggy and no one will question it, particularly if they wear their high school class ring around.  An old friend on mine went to Bryan HS, a year at Blinn, graduated SWTSU, and fully identifies aggy.  It’s a real thing.

    Wow, they still have an aggy that was around for the last one?

    Actually got the guys mixed up, both were alive then, the one in school died already.  
    clear channel founder was alive but probably doesn’t remember them winning shit.

    Focusing on having the best NIL platform/structure in CFB will probably be the most important priority going forward. On a Macro level, Texas has the resources and capabilities that very few (if any) can compete with. We need to be the gold standard. 
     

    HWH appears to have a very nice structure to it. A base pay for scholly athletes not only incentivizes players to stay, but attracts potential portal candidates from elsewhere to come. Theoretically, this should all but guarantee a very high floor (in terms of talent) for the entire roster.  
     

    Bagmen aren’t going away. As long as a tactic works, it will be utilized. You will still have bidding wars amongst schools (bagmen) for the very elite recruits. If someone wants a person bad enough, they’ll over pay to get them. The NCAA most certainly isn’t going to do Jack shit about it. 
     

    It’s very early in all of this still, and appears to still be in a “price discovery” phase. Aggy isn’t the only ones with bagmen, but they obviously paid more than all others were willing to go in this cycle (for more than just a few). They’ve essentially set themselves up to either match or increase the amount every subsequent year. The key question is how long they’ll be able/willing to sustain this.

    It's about half a second from set to snap and it's absurd that nobody calls it. I would be cussing up a storm on the sideline if I were an opponent. 

    Does the motion guy have to get set before he goes into motion?  Because I wouldn’t even call that a half second.

    Maybe he got to California and said get me the fuck outa here.

     

    Maybe ham man is a complete dipshit.  Seriously, how the fuck did we get stuck with him covering UT?   
     

    I guess by now he’s about as mobile as mansfield dam, so he couldn’t physically relocate if he wanted to.

    Jimbob is lost. Mathews isn’t going to Alabama either. 

     

    Aggy, Bama and UT all got another commit at the finish line last night.  Aggy didn’t get 2, they got 1, they were thought to be leading for Harris and Perkins.  Both intend to announce at all star games.   
     

    So while it’s entirely possible they just show up at a school, I was going off 3 guys who are all committing before NSD2, are most likely to commit on NSD1, and which teams are in the running.

    Incorrect

    Fair enough but point still stands

    However, it is an “exception to prosecution” that, even though you were involved in the “illegal recruiting,” you were close relatives.2 It is also an “exception to prosecution” for the athlete that the athlete reported the illegal recruiting to law enforcement within 60 days.3

    My serious but dumb question is if our staff understands that illegal inducement of a student-athlete at a value of over $2,500 is a felony in the State of Texas and are going to incorporate that information into their pitch (using the legal NIL programs as the other option, obviously).

    Obviously a touchy subject based on the fact that nobody has been historically completely clean. But why not be clean moving forward once the NIL Death Star is fully assembled and operational? Tell them they can get the same money without the felony.

    Why would a 17 year old care if some old rich dude goes to jail?   He’s not committing the felony, and he likely doesn’t understand tax law.

    Plus there’s the uncle/trainer driving the ship and if they say it’s all good then it probably is in their mind.

    Yes. I mean it's not going to happen but we absolutely want someone who would do that, especially to A&M. We need cold-blooded mercenaries on the roster.

    Also, they are literally already participating in a crime by taking the bags. Not sure how fucking over A&M makes things worse instead of better.

    Oh really. It was posted somewhere here that texags firmly believes that bag money is much more ethical than the shady illegal NIL stuff we are doing.

    The way I read it with my "burnt orange googles" is that Harris ........ oh damn it even the goggles are not helping! This is nothing but a positive for aggy unless Perroni is lying for the clicks to try to damping some of the good news we are about to get.

    Is that like glamping, but under an overpass or something during a driving storm?  
     

    We call that homeless around here since terms like bum and drag worm are no longer considered polite.
