Old has-been coach that 70 yo ladies still like. Evan certainly has a type.

    Thanks for the thoughts. The original HWH team getting the original IP out into the open and getting the longform IRS approval were instrumental in all of this. That's @SquishMitten @RGBIII @SydneyCar

    Outside of unifying all initiatives under one umbrella, which wasn't a small feat for the parties involved, there are two really big things here: 1) All players in all sports will be making money

    I went to the tournament and the gala. Kind of obligated on it and to pay for it, or part of it. It was all well done and a ton of money was raised. We’d committed to a nut for this new cycle for full

I’m sure a large percentage of Stewart’s followers are young women. He didn’t become a TikTok celeb for just football, if I remember correctly. I can’t confirm because I don’t have TikTok. 

It's this. Younger black men and women buy Coach stuff, I definitely see it around - It's "luxury" but affordable.

OK, that's just fucking weird... what benefit could Coach possibly get out of an endorsement from a regionally popular football player?  Their customers are largely women who have no idea who the fuck Evan Stewart is.  Is he supposed to drive sales?  It might be different if the company was based in central Texas or something.  That just looks like wasted money.  Is their CEO an aggy?  

couple of million (2 and change) followers on tiktok. the well known Aggie network (lol). but as someone else laid out it's probably some combo of his following + his agency pushing him

He's fastidious, assiduous, perspicacious and fabulous. He's going to know the buying trends of various demographics that he's marketing to or building brands with or he'd be very mediocre at his job. 

Or, he walked by a Coach store at any one of 150 outlet malls spread across this country and noticed the absurdly long line of black teens and twenty somethings waiting to be let in.

What's interesting about this after doing some light digging is the companion bill, HB 2804 was introduced by Texas Ex John Kuempel who was a walk on for our football program. The SB that is referenced here was carried on by a TCU alumn Lois Kolkhorst who was a golfer for TCU.

 

 

Has Kuempel been involved with any of our NIL initiatives?

I thought only OU fans are illiterate.  It’s obvious dumbshit will end up passing this once he gets his 20 other bullshit things passed.  Well before the SEC move.  Glad they’re competing w all the trashiest states soon.  Very fitting.

Lois may be a TCU alum but she does what John Sharp tells her to regarding what A&M wants.  She didn't back in 2016 and he made things very difficult for her in her next campaign. She's been a good soldier for Sharp ever since. Lois is still a dang good Senator, but with the area she represents, she's pretty tied to Sharp.

Maybe lets not cloak it up by having you tell us which senators you really like. Because I’ve got to tell you, anyone who sounds like a John Sharp stooge doesn’t sound like a good senator to me.

Revised Missouri NIL law allows high schoolers to get paid as soon they sign with an in-state school😳“They’re the first state that I’m aware of to basically implement that you’re allowed to use NIL for recruiting.”https://t.co/1QoHAEWtXW

Just realities of the area she represents and the role A&M plays in said area. At least she is representing the interest of said people.

 

There are members of the lege that are beholden to far worse people then john sharp over simple campaign donations....

The reality is that you've brought politics to the recruiting board. Twice now. There are probably faster ways to get crowd-sourced out of here, but I've got to be honest, I'm struggling to think of one. Maybe use Thots in your next post. Or better you, shut the fuck up on the topic that you brought up. Or Don't.

(*negged)

I have no idea who she is, and whether she's:

A. Great other than that whole kowtowing to John Sharp business, or
B. A total piece of shit that is also beholden to John Sharp.

 

I don't give a flying fuck about her or your views on her politics. But, if I were inclined to try to learn about her (I'm not) I'd do so in the CR.

A draft of federal legislation is circulating that would prohibit collectives from providing a recruiting inducement. It would also establish a new version of the NCAA to oversee NIL. https://t.co/TRn3HD6yrk

The net-net is this would allow schools to legally incent NIL giving with rewards and access. Ultimately, I know Texas would like to just run the whole damned thing the way they do LHF, but this legislation doesn't get it there. I'd be all for UT Athletics running it as well. Any perceived conflicts go away immediately and the professional fundraisers get to just bundle this with what they're already doing. 

As it stands, this would be great legislation that would boost something that is already out in front of damned near everyone else and being used effectively by multiple UT programs.

Any entity found to be in violation of the bill's regulations would be "appropriately disciplined." The USIAC would leave enforcement up to "existing agencies," including state attorneys general (for agents and third parties). The NCAA would still oversee wrongdoing by athletes.

Texas’ pending #NIL bill was sent to the governor for his signature today.If signed, it will go into effect on July 1.As a reminder, the bill provides that the NCAA cannot penalize a school for participating in or allowing activities authorized by the bill.

CDC almost has this thing over the line. It’s a pretty big deal.

Their main NIL guys are real estate guys, so likely giving away apartments in buildings they own. It’s actually a smart move.

Let me be more specific about how the rewards program could benefit regular people who contribute to NIL (but for some reason might not want to donate big to the LHF). If the rewards transfer, you can use those points to get priority seating for: OU game, and big time away games. For example, if you have enough points, you can buy X number of OU tickets ahead of time over the summer through the LHF, pick the priority seats. You can also get access to buy away game tickets, like say Alabama. All of these tickets are at cost. You can enjoy the fruits, or if you want to resell the tickets, could make a chunk of your money back for contributing to NIL.

I'd say kind of treat NIL contribution to LHF/TexasOneFund as bonus points where as you can earn 2x, 3x, or whatever multiplier you choose. 

Nothing is ironed out yet, but yes, there's a very strong push around activating NIL within the standard LHF donor set via significant additional benefits. 

There is a lot of positive momentum around TOF right now, which will impact every sports and specifically, football. The passing of the bill in the state legislature will only help.

Texas A&M’s 12th Man Foundation NIL initiative is sparking the SEC's latest trend. A&M’s foundation is separate & Texas state law protects it from NCAA enforcement. But at what cost?Georgia’s president says A&M is putting “at risk” all their athletes.https://t.co/okdO8WTdGZ
