That is buy-in! Says a lot about Baxter’s character. And Whittington, Bijan, Brooks. The Texas Football culture.

It’s why signing a #1 class with a lot of money bags can’t buy wins. 

I think I remember him doing karaoke his freshman year and having all the other players make fun of him.  His ability to laugh at himself as a top recruit in the country spoke volumes.

    I’m not interested in getting political, but your description of circumstances can get immediately fucked. Negged for attempting to absurdly minimize the assassination attempt on a presidential candid

Exactly. Who knows if these guys will pan out, but we are a prime example of how hitting on an offensive line class can be program changing. And, missing on 3 5 star in state tackles in one class kind of stings, even if we have legit guys already on campus for once.

 

It's a factor in the change, but you also have to consider our offense in the 3rd year of that class is inconsistent game to game while our defense has been great to elite every game. Anyone paying attention to the season and to who we have committed sees we're a defense first program. 

How many 5 stars did Jimbo/Elko have on that roster? Their culture is and always will be shit. It's like the Dallas Cowboys, the shit culture is institutional. 

 

Besides, wasn't Fasusi the guy who just focused on the partying life on visits? Or was that bullshit?  

I want both Fasusi just for the Lulz, but I really want Turntine III because he's the best tackle regardless of class rankings.

He’s a cloak roomer. I remember reading some of the worst takes on the football board I’d seen in a while, and with certitude. They were so bad, and he continued to double down and use weak rhetorical moves to try to persuade posters, that I ended up saying “how does this dumb motherfucker have this much rep?”

So I clicked on his profile. Stunningly, much of his activity and all of his rep activity was in the fucking shithole echo chamber Cloak Room. 

So I put him on ignore and forget he exists until he stirs you guys up again with more absolutely terrible takes.

I have no idea how Elko can look at his current roster and say, we need to allocate more money to the skill positions. They really are locked into the Jimbo - DL sets the floor circular logic.

At least until they put an annual cap on NIL. I’m guessing that happens sooner rather than later and it ends up in the $20m range. Not saying I necessarily agree with that, but there’s a pretty good chance it’s coming.

I don’t believe they can unless the players form a union and there is collective bargaining. Not sure. 

Ellison’s support for Michigan lasts only as long as his fifth wife does.

Who is “they”?  The court has already ruled against the NCAA trying to limit it.  You think Congress is going to be taking this up?

He may have finally found a relationship he likes, Michigan Football.

A couple of questions about signing day and "signing" itself.

As I recall, the letter of intent is no more. Enrolling or...setting up financing?...is the new instrument of obligation such as it is. Am I correct? 

Is early signing period still just a window or the opening of unending signing season for this class?

What will happen on signing day in place of the letter of intent?

Thanks for indulging my ignorance.

You’re confusing the House settlement (schools paying players directly) with third-party NIL money. Schools will have a cap on what they can pay to players, but not third parties. Currently, there’s no legal way to put a cap on NIL from third parties. It would require a player’s union and a CBA, but even then I wouldn’t expect a cap on what a player can earn through NIL because that would mean th schools would pay to buy up all their NIL rights (in addition to the currently expected $22 million annual number for House) . There’s not a single sport in the world that has something like that.

Yea you’re right. I guess I expect that just about all NIL money/collective money is currently coming in is from people that would be eventually funding the schools NIL. So then there won’t be the currently existing third party money out there. Sure there are going to be some 5 star dudes with a deal with Dr Pepper etc., but it’s not like Larry Ellison is going to put Bryce Underwood on a $12M advertising salary for Oracle because that’s not realistic and it won’t pass the sniff test.

I don’t understand all the ins and outs like some of you do on this subject, I can just tell you that at a high level current prospective athlete being recruited by multiple top p5 programs across the country is being told from multiple programs, that a capped amount the school can give is coming. And this isn’t even their biggest concern, the bigger issue is the title IX lawsuits they’re preparing for when women’s volleyball gets 1/20th what the football team gets.

You’re missing the part where the school has nothing to do with NIL. Grasp that part first and start over. 

No one, not the NCAA, or schools or the government can tell an adult or a collective or a corporation what they can pay a person for an autograph or what they can pay a person to promote. Is someone out there setting those rates for Tom Cruise or Patrick Mahomes? No. And they won’t for Arch Manning or Bryce Underwood either. Those days are gone.

You’ve already acknowledged this but that’s not NIL money.  Now that the wealthy can play NFL owner/GM at a much smaller buy-in, in an environment that also benefits and seems more fair to the athletes, I just don’t see public support for going back.  
 

And as a Texas fan, we shouldn’t want that, either purely from self interest or because this new economic reality benefits schools with large and wealthy alumni networks.  If that reinforces a model pushing universities towards growing the alumni base and making their earning potential greater, then great (as thats part of the role of universities, anyway).

Nice, let's see who has better sources. They don't usually go opposite of each other publicly like this.

Gerry has repeatedly referenced revenue sharing. Not sure how that works or what that will do to NIL but he's mentioned it a lot.
