Yeah, unless you paid for it yourself, you're full of shit. There will always be people who had it the whole way, including some of the slimier guys that you guys like to view as gurus. 

I'm starting to think Futureman is BO&W sock account at this point....

It’s pathetic. Kenny Baker at 8:30 this morning said they hadn’t heard from the Terry camp in 3 days and didn’t know which way he was headed, but dipshit had it the whole way.

Everyone's a guru when everyone says yes.

"I knew it the whole time!"

I'm not a big fan of NIL. It changes the nature of college sports in irreversible ways. But in the last twenty years I've been screaming for kids to get off my lawn on the subject, I've always stated declaratively no program in the country will benefit from opening that pandora's box the way Texas will. And that was before 20 more years of Austin growth and still no professional sports team in any of the 3 major sports on the horizon. 

It didn't happen by accident, but I'm very appreciative of the Longhorn alums who got off their ass and actually did something to move NIL forward rather than being a keyboard warrior like me. 

Watching programs like Alabama, OU, Georgia, Clemson, LSU (I guess A&M? they never did anything with it, though) et al have their advantage in their willingness to provide under the table inducements to players and their families, oftentimes at unprecedented game changing levels historically, be completely annihilated through the Supreme Court eviscerating the NCAA's ability to enforce...well...just about anything, has led to a golden era in UT sports. Add in we're not going out of our way from an administrative level to put competitive obstacles in our path - or at least not as much as we used to - and it just feels like we're in the midst of seeing something really special. It can still all be screwed up with the wrong coach, but thankfully that doesn't appear to be our issue. 

For me this feels like a big fuck you to all the paying of players and their handlers to grab instate talent that otherwise would have naturally signed with Texas that happened over the past 70 years. It's an even playing field in that regard now, but like the pigs say at the end of Animal Farm, "We're all equal here. We're just a little equaler."

 

This is exactly my sentiment.

Sort of there with you on the whole thing. But the money was always there for the kids and Texas *trying* to play honestly was just hamstringing us. The Aggies ‘22 class probably pissed off a lot of folks and I’m also grateful for the dudes on here who got the whole Texas NIL machine up and flattening the competition.

My joy about being in the CFP two years in a row, winning the B12 championship and playing for the SEC championship are is not dampened by the realization that the players are “in it for the money.” At some point when coaches are making 8-figure salaries and 100s of millions are being spent on facilities and being earned in merchandising, it’s only fair that the players who give the brand its value are able to benefit from it.

A&M wouldn't know what to fucking do with a guy like that

Judging from the last highly rated class of D-lineman they got it would involve teaching him to smoke a lot of weed, drift his car in parking garages, and send him on booty calls to Prairie View A&M

You could stick late era Fred Akers, David McWilliams, John Mackovic, late era Mack Brown, Charlie Strong, and Tom Herman in there, too. We've had quite the run. Thankfully we got peak Mack Brown in there for 10 years or it would truly be depressing.

True. But i was identifying coaches who appear to be able to screw up the "golden era" of an NIL-backed Texas.  Anyway, I was being intentionally unhelpful and antagonistic.  Not trying to piss in anyone's cheerios this fine day.  Back to your regularly scheduled celebration.
