But he didn’t close his eyes and pick a random lyric out of a hat to post. 

The guy has made more than $1M in two years at Texas and he was only a part time starter his freshman year. At no point has he been “cut short”.

Texas thinks it’s got its head around the roster, Muhammad included. He’s being cute with his rap lyric choice but I don’t think this is something to really worry over.

There isn’t an elite corner on the planet that would tell you they’re paid sufficiently. Not worried about it, he’s irreplaceable and no doubt will be taken care of

Unfortunately portal window doesn't wait for the end of the season.  Got to negotiate when you got the leverage.

I can't believe they still haven't fixed the portal window nonsense.  It's absolutely ridiculous that it coincides with the playoffs (and give me a break about spring semester nonsense, figure it out).  It got a lot of publicity last year when Malik felt like he had no choice but to leave before the Sugar Bowl.   Wait until this year when it impacts all 12 or at least 8 teams.  Just wait until someone playing for the title deals with injuries and is impacted by losing key depth pieces they should have on the roster because the powers that be in college athletics are absolute morons.

He is a great player, to be sure, but irreplaceable? There are 17 more just like him either waiting in line or waiting to wait in line to start for Texas.

The people in charge of that have shit for brains. It’s an easy fix that they wont fix until they are forced to fix it.

That's just not true. Another Muhammad would be expensive and hard to get. He's really good.

Trainers and Uncles have to eat too. Time for some schools to pony up and support some players or see them poached by promises by others. The choice is up to the schools. What a sad time this has become. Loyalty to the dollar versus the school. 

You sound like the aggies. Let’s just go get some rough country boys who want to be Longhorns and send ‘em to Junction to get tough and learn how to bleed burnt orange for their school! Fuck life changing money for them and their family! 
 

stupid fucking post. The cheating was always fucking there, it was just localized to 10-15 programs. NIL has evened it out for Texas. You want to go back to 2011-2022, do ya? Those years were full of great horns who bled burnt orange and loved their school so much they skipped the singing the Eyes after games. 
 

Go shake your fist at the sky and change your depends somewhere else, old man. I’m going to watch my team play in the playoffs.

Dude, did you not watch our defensive backfield in the first few years of Sark? Having talent back there is critical. You can’t fake it with weak CB’s and safeties. He is legit and difficult to replace.

Did you just now arrive in America? Our entire culture preaches that. Probably why our population lives hopped up on antidepressants, anxiety, and alcoholism.

but it is the norm. Before this era the top players were being paid. Just behind the scenes.

You're absolutely right, we're the worst. Especially compared to collective positive and corruption-free vibes of European soccer or Chinese/Russian Olympic sports.

I have no idea but I imagine our NIL guys know market value of a good corner or player at their position.  I also imagine they up their NIL agreements after the season.  This happens every season where players start expressing their displeasure with their pay through vague tweets.  We saw this with Barron, Worthy, etc.  Texas has proven they know how to retain talent.  There’s also guys like Terrance Brooks that think they are good and are told to go explore the market and they end up at places like Illinois…

 

I feel like Texas, Oregon, and Ohio State are the best at roster retention and taken acquisition.  It is no surprise those are the top 3 teams in college football.  I imagine this will be the case for years to come.

hah, followed immediately by antidepressants, anxiety, and alcoholism..

All three are a great alternative to those weak ass uppers like crack, meth/speed, and God forbid bath salts/Krokodil. Those are for pussies who want to take apart vacuums and use the parts to fix their 1992 Toyota. 

The downers like Xanax, Klonopin, diazapam, Ativan + some antidepressants coupled with alcohol is a perfect combination for people who would like to fall asleep for 3 days.

What I love is that of the top program in having functional NIL, 1 we are the only one in our conference and 2 the only one in the South in general.

Say what you want, but location still does matter and access to talent is still key. In many of theses cases the “tie” goes to home and when battling the big dogs of NIL Texas is still considered home (either through locale or through conference affiliation) for a large swath of the elite talent every year.
