Putting aside how cringe that custom embroidery is, all it tells me is that most coaches can’t BBQ for shit.

Jimbo 2023: Watch.The.Tape.
NIL is still in its infancy and the approaches being taken have obviously developed/changed quite a bit even this far in. I'm genuinely interested to see where things ultimately shake out from a contractual perspective. For instance, to avoid situations like you're describing, could the NIL payer for a given university (e.g., USC) include a "no shop" provision in any contract with a HS recruit - meaning, once the contract is signed, the recruit is prohibited from actively soliciting/entertaining offers from NIL collectives not associated with USC, taking visits to other universities, etc.? Let's assume for the sake of the hypo that the NIL contract in question is otherwise kosher legally. A "no shop" like that isn't tied to individual performance on the field, isn't a direct "incentive" for the recruit to go to the university, and doesn't appear (on its face) to run afoul of some of the other more obvious guidelines. I know that might all seem ridiculous at first glance, but these recruits/athletes now have the freedom to be compensated like an executive (or business), and do that with the security of written contracts with sophisticated counterparties, so in that sense it's only logical that some of the same legal protections used in the regular corporate world ("no shops" are just one example) would be used for the NIL payer's investment.

Cletus’ Razor says this backfires on them by pissing of Novosad, and they end up getting neither QB.

Get it together, guys. If Malachi flips to A&M, I will personally pay special appearance fees to Drew Mehringer to fist futureman and Warehime to shit a golden football. At the same time.

While this is purely based on a quick glance at the attributed recruiters at 247 and On3 (so take FWIW) for a scattering of highly rated commits and targets, for those interested, Banks is listed as primary or secondary recruiter for Cook, Hill, Muhammad, Duce Robinson, Jayvon Thomas and Toviano.- Jimbo 2023: Watch.The.Tape.
I take great joy in aggy misery and them being behind the ball in anything, but their law school has nothing to do with wherever their NIL initiatives stand. Like UT, A&M is going to hire from outside its alumni ranks for its internal legal department, and use top-tier firms for outside counsel matters (just as I'd expect any of their big cigars or NILs collective to do for anything significant in that realm). Might also note that the latest law school rankings have aggy law in the "tier one" (i.e., T50) schools for the first time in the history of the school, even stretching back to its Wesleyan days. They are ranked No. 46, behind Texas (No. 17) obviously, but still the second highest ranked school in the state. They've made huge investments in the school since they acquired it in 2013 and played moneyball with the ranking criteria items very well. Its meteoric rise from unranked (sub-150) to where it is now in less than a decade is, frankly, impressive. Have my doubts they'll even sniff the T20 in my lifetime, but their handling of the law school so far is one of the few things I'll commend them for. Thanks for reading my blog.

Literal mouth breather.- Realignment talk not going away
Parties to a contract have the freedom to renegotiate as they see fit. The requisite members of any given conference agreeing to let a member out is not technically "breaking" the contract in the sense that a departing member is not leaving in blatant violation of GOR and saying "sue me" (the exit is done with approval of the remaining members), and the GOR isn't torn up (it is continues to apply unaltered to the remaining members). And it's not an implicit agreement that the remaining members will give (or are obligated to give) the same deal to anyone else that wants to leave in the future. Won't derail the thread by continuing to harp on this subject, so will just agree to disagree with how we view these things. And corporate law is my 9-5, FWIW.- Realignment talk not going away
That's not really how freedom of contract works. Just because parties are able to successfully renegotiate a contract does not mean that the similarly situated parties are obligated to do so in the future.- 2022 Summer Season: Flavor-Aid (Strength: Prison Wine)

Not nearly as versed on realignment and the machinations of TV networks as many, but seems to me that "any new major channels" could stem from the streaming services not affiliated with the traditional giants (ESPN, Fox, NBC, etc.). For instance, wouldn't shock me to see Amazon swoop in at some point and add CFB to the Prime Video like they've done with the NFL. So many people already have (though seldom use) Prime Video just by virtue of getting Prime for regular Amazon purchases -- 150MM+ estimated members in America (roughly 6 of 10 American households), per quick Google search. Compare that to roughly 75MM domestic subscribers to ESPN's "big two" (ESPN and ESPN2). Add CFB to the mix of Amazon's live video offerings, and have to imagine that drives incremental subscriptions purely for that offering. End result being what I would consider a "new major channel" for CFB.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2023: Strippers, Monkeys, and 5-Stars
@The Original Greaser Bob after his visit to scattybevo:- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
Two weeks ago: "Don't care that sips got some DBs and Bama got Tony Mitchell. We just need one of Muhammad/Toviano and we're set." Now: "Muhammad is a JAG, don't really need or want him. Taviano is the prize." Not sure if I want Taviano more because he's a great player, or to see where the aggy narrative goes next if we were to commit to Texas. whynotboth.gif - Texas Recruiting Notes 2023: Strippers, Monkeys, and 5-Stars
