I guess then de minimis would have exempted small purchases. Not quite sure how that would work.

This doesn't (necessarily) mean he's done and PUP list means he still gets his base pay. A full year+ of recovery is a good idea at this point. They drafted Etienne so if JB needs to move on in a year hopefully he's back to as close to 100% as possible. And Carolina isn't exactly the cream of the crop franchise- wise anyway and a clean start elsewhere might help also.
I really hope he gets back to where he was. He would be an animal in the league.

You can't be wishing death and public attacks. No. That's always been a rule. This isn't in the defense of anyone in particular, but it is also the internet and its not like law enforcement doesn't have access here.

You need to stop it with this. You can't be posting this kind of shit here and not expect a knock on the door at some point.

It's wilding that this is not obvious.
Just fuck off man. No one is enjoying the engagement you are driving here in this thread. Just move on.

3 minutes ago, Mrs Whiggins said:Two years ago in June, the commencement speech at Northwestern University contained this gem:
"The best way to spot an idiot, look for the person who is cruel. Let me explain. When we see someone who doesn't look like us, or sound like us, or act like us, or love like us, or live like us, the first thought that crosses almost everyone's brain is rooted in either fear or judgement or both. That's evolution. We survived as a species by being suspicious of things that we aren't familiar with. In order to be kind, we have to shut down that animal instinct and force our brain to travel a different pathway.
Empathy and compassion are evolved states of being. They require the mental capacity to step past our most primal urges. This may be a surprising assessment because somewhere along the way in the last few years, our society has come to believe that weaponized cruelty is part of some well-thought out Master plan. Cruelty is seen by some as an adroit cudgel to gain power. Empathy and kindness are considered weak. Many important people look at the vulnerable only as rungs on a ladder to the top. I'm here to tell you that when someone's path through this world is marked with acts of cruelty, they have failed the first test of an advanced society. They never forced their animal brain to evolve past its first instinct. They never forged new mental pathways to overcome their own instinctual fears. And so their thinking and problem solving will lack the imagination and creativity that the kindest people have in spades. Over my many years in politics and business, I have found one thing to be universally true. The kindest person in the room is often the smartest."
This is some good shit.

Thanks. I appreciate that LHF and TexasOne have different structures, and purposes. My concern was with the one commingled funding source- donors. The Big Cigars (all of whom probably have suites) are the ones the school calls upon for special funding- new facilities, fleeing a crappy conference, firing a coach and signing a five star WR. My concern was that, as a fan, I don’t want that big donor to say he is tapped out from paying for a new swim center weight room, and can’t help with the roster.
You’ve satisfied my curiosity that this shit is managed, and that was all I needed.-

is it just me or is it a bit insulting at this point for some of these questions that keep getting asked. It seems like there's some type of entitlement from the press pool to not do their fucking jobs and ask questions that are not offensive and focused on the actual work the Fed does.
I think Powell did a great job staying focused and his guidance was deliberate and narrow so that people don't over react. There wasn't much to read into from his remarks today and he expanded on them very well.

They aren’t the same. There’s no conflation here.
You said the fundraising mechanism is now same same. It’s not at all. They do completely different fundraising methods. The LHF isn’t throwing a concert event at the stadium. The Texas Box Office is for the Longhorn Foundation.
The Texas One Fund is not commingling. Again, the first link I posted in this thread is doing things completely separate from the Longhorn Foundation as a quick example.
The Longhorn Foundation does not give to NIL. When you donate, it also asks if you also want to donate (separately) to The Texas One Fund.
lol okay dude.

I gotta be honest. I'm hardly following recruiting any more. I'm just assuming that we're getting 90%-ish of the top targets and then they are going to backfill any roster misses through the portal.
It's great being the Joneses and all, and lord knows that we took it in the ass from Ohio State, Georgia, Bama, LSU etc. for far too many years and it feels good to turn the tables on those fuckers... but the ins and outs of recruiting isn't all that interesting to me any longer. Is that just me?
Recruting hasn't changed for the people who get excited nationally about players. There's a lot of things that are going on that make recruiting harder to follow, and a lot of that has to do with the way this staff operates. They are in a position where they offer late and only the people that actually want to be here are coming to OV and unofficials etc. With NIL it's also a lot more muted on weird purely emotional decisions, there's too much at stake for these guys to fuck around and go to some dumbass coach who smooth talks them.

It is unconditionally true that people would have been pissed if Quinn went as late as he did coming out after last year.
It is also unconditionally true that he came back in 2024 and 1) did not win a conference championship and 2) did not advance to the NCG/Win the NCG
When you combine those things and we don't have the 2025 results yet (what if Arch actually does suck? and Texas misses the playoffs and goes 8-4?) we are left with Quinn's final impression being worse in almost every way than if he just left in 2024.

This is incorrect.
The Longhorn Foundation is specifically for student athletes costs. Think anything from wardrobes, travel, books, meals, etc. This is to support the athlete with direct payments.
Texas One Fund is only for NIL. This funds media exposure, endorsements and direct payments to the athletes.
Although they are similar in some ways for loyalty point purposes, they are completely separate.
I appreciate the ease of conflating "well LHF is just doing all the stuff now" with what I said, so I appreciate the clarification that these are still completely functionally different. What I meant by my statement wasn't that they were functionally the same - which I specifically clarified and said they serve different purposes etc. I was saying that the fundraising mechanism is now same same. There isn't 2 fundraising efforts running in parallel. LHF asks for money, some of it goes into the traditional bucket and some of it goes into the NIL bucket. The tight coupling of TOF to the AD and it's "business" arm, also allows for really seamless, nice and well organized corporate involvement. Lets say a corp wants to do a deal with Texas, but they also have ideas that involve using some of the student athletes in promotional materials, events or spokesperson. The university can now one stop shop that and fulfill those obligations with TOF and LHF at the same time albeit on different "paper".
