Not of the coaches’ lectures.

Is it possible to get audio or youtube link?

That’s it for today. CJ and I are posted up at a computer with everyone else, ready to watch the Derrek Cooper ceremony.

Didn’t get a chance to talk to him, but I did see Tyrone Swoopes in the crowd at the coaches panel. He’s an assistant coach at Lindale.

Sark said there’s a struggle between what science tells you about making sure your players are healthy over the long haul and having a physical football team with the kind of edge you want.

Sark said player development is critical throughout the season so that young players can be ready to play earlier.

McGuire said he knows what his players make, but he leaves those discussions with prospects to James Blanchard and the personnel department.

Joey McGuire said Cody Campbell is trying to help college football, not just Texas Tech. McGuire said Campbell has asked the Tech staff to look at an NFL salary cap so they’d be ready to act accordingly when revenue sharing and the “cap” kicked in this summer.

Sonny Dykes echoed the same. He said if the starting left tackles at Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and TCU make roughly the same thing, then recruits will pick schools based on things other than money.

Rhett Lashlee hopes revenue sharing and a cap structure will balance things out regarding what certain positions get paid that schools don’t lose kids just because of money.

Again, not sure what’s being said, but Traylor is cracking Sark up.

Scotty Walden: “I’m trying to constantly make sure with GM that we don’t go over the $20 million cap.” Room breaks out in laughter. ”I did that for the people in the back to wake them up,” he said. “We’ll never touch the $20 million cap at the University of Texas-El Paso.”

Phil Longo’s first season at Sam Houston will be one without home games. They’ll play their five home games at NRG Stadium.

Not sure what Sark and Traylor are discussing, but they’ve had a dialogue with each other throughout this whole deal.
