Agree . Seems Learfield has gotten all their deals for UT through the Clearinghouse. I read that when they responded to Kessler trying to get Associated Entities more leeway. Believe he didn't get that yet, but is still trying with the original judge on House Settlement. Assume Nike and others we use have gotten deals through. So Texas should be in a good place, but still see litigation coming on that issue , again depending on what is in the Bill.

I’m well aware. Was simply curious

Hope it dies.

It’s almost that time. The road to Natty #3 in 5 years starts soon. They win it this year they are a dynasty.

Rankings mean nothing, it’s now showtime on game day!

Of course rivals would be the one to buck the trend and try to make john not as good all of a sudden

Language is not finalized is my understanding.

Exactly!

Thank you for your contribution

From Dellenger- 25 million retention pool $ + 5 mil for women. So 51 mil overall.But the kicker is they want to close loopholes on Associated Entities /MMR/ Sponsors etc. Worried about circumventing the Cap. Seems that will be a Court challenge for sure from athletes . But the bill isn't finalized yet so the devil is in the details. And even if the stars align in the Senate, good luck in the House. That's a whole different game with time ticking away .

Pick up any?

I wouldn’t mind another home playoff game at DKR either. Byes don’t tend to go in our favor lately lol

Because Texas will have to win the conference in my opinion in order to be ranked top 4, if they lose the SEC championship game they will likely be either 11-2 or 10-3 and I doubt the committee would rank them top 4 at either of those records, just going off of how dumb they are about records and number of losses

Why do you think they only get it by winning the conference? It’s no longer tied to that, just the top 4 teams

Don’t care!!

Interesting. Wonder if they even adjusted them.

Does anybody actually know where ESPN gets their formula for calculating these percentages? Maybe the closest sewer or well used Port-a-Potty? I view Texas as more of a 15% or 20% at a first round bye because that only happens if Texas wins the SEC. ESPN is hilariously bad and gets worse by the year at this point.

Yep, and the only way it survives is some sort of antitrust exemption. Since I don't believe the legislation has any chance of passing, I have not read what antitrust exemptions they would include. If they have those then it could pass the courts. I have no problem with there being debate in Washington about this, especially considering local (school picked) judges are currently running college football. My issue, like others have stated, is that government involvement never works out. It just doesn't. That said, the nature of the courts involvement right now is never going to work out either.

If they can find a dozen wins in SEC play that would be great. Would like to see Texas split the Florida games and finally beat Arkansas and Tennessee. Hold down home court and find 3-4 road wins and that should be enough to lock up a 1 or 2 seed, especially if they get a double bye and make a deep run in the SEC Tournament.

Restricting NIL will immediately be challenged in court.
