The NCAA, or a new organization, can legally cap pay-for-play since that wording is not in any piece of NIL legislation anywhere. In fact, in most NIL legislation, pay-for-play is forbidden. What you cannot cap is the NIL. However, you can legally take the schools out of offering and paying players with conference and national association rules. Players have a right through their agents to sell their NIL for any amount they want, but that's between them and the markets, not the schools. The schools and conferences should be able to form their own organization and set their own portal rules and base-level cost-of-living requirements for each player who cannot earn NIL dollars. If this nonsense continues as is, then the Universities should tell the NFL to form G Leagues and draft all these players straight out of high school for those teams. It's hypocritical to call this a university sport and these players student athletes.

Sark hinted again at it during SEC Media days. Not only does he want Champ to be the 'HC' of the D, he wanted someone who was closer with the players and recruits.

Impossible. How could he hear you talking about the site when you’re always muted?

Thank you ! You are exactly right

Welcome to the board! By far the best information, the best community, and the biggest all-star team of journalists and personalities in the business.

@Joe Zura is in shambles

Great offense will beat great defense so the Washington game doesn’t bother me. Their QB was on that night - we didn’t hold up our side of the”great offense” against their not so great defense. The fact we can’t run on anyone with a pulse is deflating. I’m ok with a new DC that forces more of the action to the offense but until sark lives up to his billing we aren’t winning a natty

I agree. If you're going to put a cap on what players can make, the players have to be part of that conversation. You can't have Congress, the conferences and the schools decide among themselves what athletes are allowed to earn and expect that to be the end of it. If college sports wants the stability of the NFL model: spending limits, enforceable rules, etc.; eventually they're going to have to accept the other side of that model too. The players get a seat at the table.

I mentioned Arkansas at the end, but I’m not going to pretend the Razorbacks are on the same level as the Sooners or the Aggies.

Yes, it’s my only source for Burnt Orange sports updates.

My dad would have liked those haircuts

Great article Jeff “ HOOKEM “

Gonna tell my kids this was the legendary Hank South and CJ Vogel🤘

Michael Taaffe on Instagram shared this snap of him and Quinn. Can’t wait to watch all our Miami Longhorns & NFL players soon! 🤘

Can you play Left Guard? 😂 Welcome and hope you enjoy!

He wanted a DC that could command all the defensive coaches without him having to do it. I think it came down to Sark giving up his offense and becoming an overseer of both, or finding someone that could be in totally control of defense.

Who has the picture of @Jeff Howe as a cop arresting me?

Man. Sark should be 5-0 vs OU. 2021 and 2023 still sting a bit.

I still would have liked for him to have become a Longhorn Legend. He made a mistake by entering the portal. Wisner and Jordan Lee, in women's hoops, are the two athletes I wish would have stayed.

Are you pro or anti Kyle flood? Your credibility hinges on the answer to this question. welcome aboard!

Welcome to the madness!!! Have fun, make and take jokes and jump into the community at the deep end. You automatically get extra credit for making fun of the staff

Welcome to the board

Texas has been in every big game under Sark. Even The UGA and OSU games that we lost by double digits, Texas was within 1 score in the 4th quarter. This team doesn't get blown out under Sark.

He wanted a guy who would coach with passion, recruit, and understand how to call defensive coverages. He got tired of the bend but don't break style that the former coach employed. How many times did our defense blow 3rd and 8? Too many. That cushion our corners gave was sickening.

Scheme works great against Elko. He's had no answer on the ground. I think the indiviudal talent showed vs. OU in 2025 on two runs specifically. Texas didn't have much success outside of that.
