  1. Clearly the contract is technically gonna be legal. Otherwise they wouldn’t be advertising it and eventually submitting it to the NCAA. It’s def a loophole and against the spirit of NIL, but what a shocker that people found loopholes. Recruiting CA is now just free agency, plain and simple. Im curious how the third-party NIL ownership works though. Does the kid have a say in what it gets used for? Does he get any continued royalty on those deals? If he leaves TN, would they keep getting deals for him to recoup their investment, or would they just not let him do any more deals as punishment?
  2. What does “run interference” mean?
  3. I think he would still be owed the 8. He just wouldn’t be able to sign any other deals bc the collective owns his rights. In other words, the TN collective ain’t gonna let him do a deal with a dealership for a free car if he goes to Bama. On the other hand, if he stays at TN, he’ll get the $8mm AND probably some (or all) of the other NIL deals he does.
  4. Wow that’s insane. Can’t believe high school kids are allowed to sell their NIL exclusivity rights to someone like that. Even college kids. What a joke. With that allowed, how long until the sleazy sharks start coming in buying kids’ rights for chump change to make money off the upside
  5. What keeps a kid from taking a big upfront payment and then going to a different school anyway? I mean obviously a lot of kids will have the honesty to honor their word, but someone’s gonna get burned at some point.
  6. Rod Wright hired as the DL coach at Miami Also I missed it before but Frank Okam is the new DL coach for the Raiders Good for those guys and good for us to have on the radar if Bo ever leaves
  7. In some situations, coaches dislike bubbles bc the soft structure limits where you can put cameras for different angles and analytics on practice. With a fixed structure, you can put that stuff anywhere and everywhere. idk if our bubble has that issue but it might
  8. Aggy mods also thought McKinley Jackson was gone. Instead he got a 2-game slap on the wrist. We shall see.
  9. He then posted "not transferring" with the facepalm emoji
  10. SIAP but just saw on 247 that his dad played DE at UT. This does not seem like a recruitment we should lose..

    Yeah I get the reason for separating football and agree that it's a good idea for the reasons you outlined. Just Seems like there could've been a middle ground where they still split the donations but set individual prices for bball based on your length of support or something, instead of just saying "here's the price for everyone, deal with it." Like give x% discount at whichever ticket level you choose based on your years of bball ticketholding. Here the other annoying part - someone who jumped on the football train 5 years ago might have already built up more "loyalty points" than a 30 year bball ticket holder bc it's all based on money. Up until now, the bball guy has held onto their tickets bc of actual loyalty. Now, that football guy can just throw in an extra $2300 (still chump change for a lot of those dudes) and immediately leapfrog the bball guy. 3/4ths students is also a surprising move. Great for the atmosphere but very un-UT passing up all that money

    Not sure but I think there's an upper deck that isn't shown on that map, so those are all lower level. But either way agree with your point - $2300 for top of the lower level isn't gonna hold up

    So now that they're splitting the football and bball donations, does that mean you still have to donate the same amount to keep your football tickets but have to add a new donation to get bball tickets? Or will the required football donation be reduced to account for splitting out bball? Assuming the former, sucks for those of us who have loyally supported/attended both for decades and made a donation intended for both.

  15. Are you sure they're separating bball and football? I thought they were just re-prioritizing based on over priority points. Which means a large football donor would now jump over long-time diehard bball supporters who have held onto their seats for 20 years without ever having to shell out big bucks
  16. Can't win shooting 28% with 14 TOs. Tech presence in the crowd is a bit embarassing. Beard gonna be pissed about that
  17. We're shooting 24% for the game. Sure Tech plays good D but missing plenty of open ones
  18. It'll be interesting to hear Beard's response to this one. Never understood how he could possibly promise "not student gets turned away"
  19. Measuring on Google maps, looks like you'd have a space about 600 ft long (North-South) and 400-450ft wide. So yeah you should be able to fit 1 indoor plus 2 outdoor fields.
  20. My prediction is they put the indoor facility on the social work site and leave the outdoor fields where they are. Which is not ideal. What they should do is move Jamail east of 35 with the other athletic stuff. And leave the rec alone. Cheapest/easiest option that results in things being located in a very logical way.
  21. They could put an indoor facility on top of social work only, but you wouldn't have room for outdoor fields too. Seems dumb to me to have outdoor fields somewhere else. According to this, the chilling station cost $80mm only 6 years ago - https://flintco.com/our-work/projects/ut-chilling-station-7/. So that's probably not moving. As discussed, idk where you could move the Rec. Can't move it farther away and need it somewhere. Politically this is probably tough, but I'd move the Swim Center east of 35. Give them brand new digs next to the Disch, tennis, etc. Cost $11mm https://flintco.com/our-work/projects/ut-lee-and-joe-jamail-texas-swimming-center/
  22. Why is this newspaper thing hitting so many sports accounts like Mandel and RedditCFB?
  23. Hasn't he still been pretty hedged on Cutcliffe? I haven't seen him say anything super confident that it's happening, more just "rumors that there's a chance" type stuff. I may have missed what he said though.
