Let’s say you are a nationally recognized, for profit business and you signed a 17 year old to a multimillion dollar NIL deal on the notion that he could start for Ohio State University. 
 

Then imagine a year later that kid telling you, “I’m thinking about moving to Lubbock, Tx to play for an also ran bottom dweller in the middle of west Texas”.

How does this work - do they still have to pay him? I guess it's contract specific. It's such a young field they may not have put in a clause that terminates the deal with a transfer.

For what it’s worth, my Tech connection who called Dykes to TCU weeks ahead of the news said Ewers was a longshot for them.

Does he have a wife or girlfriend that plays softball?

Have you ever read a contract? A termination clause is not something that only shows up once in a blue moon.

Tale of the tape, Tech vs Texas in Ewers recruitment:

Playing time: push

Media market/brand awareness: Texas

Chance to win: push

QB development reputation: Texas/Sark

Value of degree: Texas

NIL $: unknown

Personal relationships: unknown

Lifestyle: Texas

Surrounding talent: Texas

Based on what we can know for sure, Ewers to Texas is obvious.  But those last 2 factors are very important and we can’t know where things stand.  If some Tech donor just decides “fuck it I’m buying him” then it’s certainly plausible Ewers could make more money going to Tech.  Over the long haul it is likely Texas’ financial might will show out (although it is curious it hasn’t recently), but Texas can certainly be outbid for any given player.  Also, we don’t know Ewers personal feelings for people in Lubbock or Austin.  That’s huge.

If I were a betting man I’d still take even odds on Texas, but there’s plenty of intrigue.

I probably won’t know a thing ahead of anyone here since these things go down in minutes once the player/family makes their decision.  

We announce a rather large NIL effort tomorrow after lunch. Maybe that beats Ewers announcement and then I can immediately claim credit for tilting Ewers in our direction after he commits later that day or something. Things haven’t worked out for UT football over the last 12 years, but I’ve had a good run in that same timeframe. So, fuck it, I’ll take my chances. 

Also, if anyone has had more sand kicked in their face since 2009 than Texas, it’s Texas Tech. They do not deserve nice things.

I'm stepping back a bit after failing to raise any $$$. Just dont want to bother information guys when I dont have anything from my side that helps them, and thats kind of been the arrangement all season. And the donors I talk to that might know stuff are the people Ive been hitting up for $$$. So right now the only stuff I hear is the stuff they share on a couple text threads, and those have been pretty quiet all weekend.

Thats my interpretation. Im still not buying the Ewers to Tech stuff. We shall see. 

[Barbacoa 1934]

Also, if Ewers comes to Texas we are absolutely still in it for Stewart, and there's still dry powder there to help. 

[kevwun 15938]

And such a scenario involving Stewart will be why schools move to NLI money instead of bags.  They have no recourse when recruits take their money and pick a different school.

have to admit the hair factor is full on Tech but whatever.  Sark said he was built for this so I assume there are multiple QB's in the portal he can win with, right? I mean he is an offensive genius/QB whisperer.

I hope we get him but I can't see it being the end of the world if Sark is the right coach.

But what if he’s not and he needs his vy to walk through the door to bring us back?

Can’t find CTJ original post but you would think they would have already told Ewers about this NIL news?

well then we are probably fucked.  I hope we get him because he's better than we have, in theory and even bigger is he could also bring other recruits as others have said.

my biggest gripe is we have shitty defenses like 9 out of the last 12 years.  its fucking embarrassing and is the main reason we suck.

[Jamaal.25 587]

Don't quote me on this, but word is Ewers will be in Chicago tomorrow. Apparently, Herman and the Bears are recruiting him hard. Maybe they will kiss and make up. Who the fuck knows at this point.

The main reason we suck is because we have been hiring the wrong CEO every time. 

[UTEE97 3524]

I think it comes down to guaranteed playing time. With how Sark is, I can see him not promising the QB1 role to Quinn before having a QB competition in the offseason. If Quinn doesn't get to play, he doesn't make as much money. Granted Texas can offer better NIL deals but what good is that if he can't play? It will come down to who can promise a starting role.

Um, Sark can promise him the starting role and then not start him.  He can promise him the starting role and pull him if he sucks.  If Sark or any of our coaches don’t know how to close a recruit by telling them what they want to hear then that is a BIG problem.  Saban will tell a kid he will make him the next head coach of Alabama if he commits and the kids seem to believe him.

The best of them have mastered this art but I am not so sure Sark has. You have to sound convincing to the kid and his parents when you make that promise. New head coaches can't always do that.

[SarksJuggs 1106]

I’d offer him the starting job in a heartbeat. Sark has basically already admitted that Card and Casey suck and we need an improvement, and Murphy is a project.
