Apparently some of you don’t realize that boycotts are SUPPOSED to target sectors of the economy that are fiscally or culturally significant. A boycott that doesn’t apply pressure in a meaningful way doesn’t have much chance of achieving its aims. And, incidentally, I would suggest that those of you jumping to conclusions about the NAACP’s objectives and labeling them “racists” without understanding WHY they think a boycott is necessary should probably abide by the rule that it’s better to have no opinion at all than an uninformed opinion. I’m out. Hopefully Bobby can remove this thread before it goes off the rails.

Any Texas athletics in water feels like a safe bet.

Winner winner chicken dinner. The SEC isn't the SEC without the majority of the top recruits, it's the Sun Belt conference. The athletes don't have to follow the money, the money will follow them.

It becomes a problem, because if other school began getting the upper echelon athletes then revenue will follow. The revenue makes the blue bloods blue bloods. Lose the revenue and other can ascend

Never expect a nuanced conversation on a message board. It will be fun to watch this thread from afar😂🤘🏿

Is the NAACP going to subsidize the money lost in NIL to go play at another school? Hell no. Politics should stay out of sports.

Unpopular opinion, but I don't think Baker Mayfield is the best OU QB ever. Sam Bradford was better than him, he just didn't have the longevity that Mayfield did. For that reason, I would take Mayfield off this list first.

Yeah I sent this challenge to a friend, and we were discussing whether this means at their peak, or their college careers as a whole (I am completely discounting pro careers).

Tebow > Mayfield. 2 national titles and unstoppable in college.

If we're talking their college careers as a whole, it might be Vince. Tebow and Baker were top 5 in Heisman voting for 3 straight years. Burrow had arguably the best QB season we've ever seen and led probably the best offense we've ever seen. Cam Newton had debatably the biggest carry job ever in 2010. College careers as a whole, Tebow and Baker were a lot more consistent across multiple years while Burrow, Vince, and Cam had insane one year peaks. Like, did Baker ever reach the peaks that Cam, Vince, and Burrow did? Maybe not, but his 3 years as a whole are much more consistent and probably better overall than Vince, Cam, or Burrow's. Just depends how you look at it I guess.

Thanks for info

Corral in 4,3,2…

Good luck to Coach. He’s definitely HC material.

Oh boy. This thread is gonna end well.

Yeah, boycott the schools and programs that can 1) pay you the most in NIL 2) develop you into NFL players 3) contain a lot of historical black college campuses. This will have no affect on recruiting. Its unimportant people pissing into the wind because they can't be racists anymore.

Texas (the state) is included. This could be a real danger to the SEC, ACC and Big 12. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7292111/2026/05/19/naacp-boycott-public-schools-athletic-programs-voting-rights/?source=user_shared_article&unlocked_article_code=1.jlA.7Ed0.Lwt6BNl6J3N4

Been a member here since 2024. I live in the Salt Lake City area now (for the last 6 years) but was born and raised in TX and lived in the Austin area for 14 years before moving out here. My first UT memory is fuzzy. I couldn't tell you any details, but it was watching the UT vs A&M game on thanksgiving in the late 1980's or early 90's. I was born in 1983, so it was sometime in there. It was a tradition we always did with our extended family and still do to this day.

This was expected. The good thing about Nolan Cain is that he's in a position where he doesn't have to take the first job that he's offered. His role as the No. 2 man at Texas is a coveted gig. As for the Houston job, I'd like to see it go to Sean Allen. He's a UH alum, knows the state very well and was a good coach while on David Pierce's staff at Texas.

As long as we don't shiit the bed we will be OK.

Texas associate head coach/recruiting coordinator Nolan Cain interviewed for the vacant head coaching job at the University of Houston, On Texas Football has learned. Both parties decided to go in different directions; Cain was one of 10-plus targets on the Cougars’ radar to replace long-time head coach Todd Whitting, who parted ways with the school after 16 seasons. OTF has also learned that other schools are interested in Cain as a head coaching candidate. Houston isn’t expected to be the last program to try and poach Cain from Jim Schlossnagle’s staff, a group of coaches currently preparing for Friday’s SEC Tournament quarterfinal against a to-be-determined opponent. Cain, who also serves as the team’s third base coach on game day and works with the program’s catchers, followed Schlossnagle to the Forty Acres after three seasons at Texas A&M (2022-24). Cain helped assemble a 2025 recruiting class that brought 2026 SEC Freshman of the Year Anthony Pack Jr. and first-team All-SEC relief pitcher Sam Cozart to Austin. Pack and Cozart were instrumental in helping Texas (40-12, 19-10) finish the regular season in second place in the conference standings. The Longhorns also concluded a 52-game campaign with a No. 5 national ranking in the D1Baseball.com Top 25. Thanks to Cain’s efforts on the recruiting trail, Texas became the first SEC program since Florida in 2009 and 2010 to produce the SEC Freshman of the Year in consecutive seasons, with Dylan Volantis claiming the honor in 2025.

AI Marty McFly'd Tebow!

Still wild that Florida had Tim Tebow and Cam Newton on the same team. And that 2007 Florida recruiting class (Cam Newton) had 10-12 NFL draft picks ... even with all the off the field issues in that class is crazy.

More power to him, but not sure how that will translate to the NFL. I guess one could work in an NFL city and live in the country.

I saw another article that did mention Texas on this list. It’s always tricky when politics and sports collide.
