A deeper understanding of what is happening
Danimal replied to Bobby Burton's topic in On Texas Football Forum
Summary: A bunch of poor schools can now talk big money with recruits. But those schools are historically poor and don't know how to think critically about money or budget. They are throwing out big contracts without a worry about tomorrow because their current roster is cheap. They will reap what they sow in a year or two. Those schools will feel some real pain and embarrassment in time, and it will be worse than losing some close recruitments in June and July 2025. -

If promising contingent NIL pending rules change is illegal, then we now know why Tech was so adamant that Ojo’s agent was incorrect about the terms of his deal. My understanding from what’s been reported (which admittedly could be incorrect) is that the $5M deal Ojo’s own agent announced publicly was heavily contingent. If so, then Tech could be in some serious trouble. -

Full on bag game is what some are effectively doing now with "illegal" promises and payments. We have stubborn administrators refusing to admit that the only way to get a handle on this is to make high value athletes employees and negotiate deals. It doesn't matter if they don't like it. -

Thanks for sharing - a good explanation of the shenanigans going on. I predicate some schools are going to have a PR issue when they are unable to provide what they promised players. We may lose some recruits in the short term, but maintaining a reputation of being honest will have long term benefits. -

Thanks, Bobby. We need more loin girding around here lately. Sark knows what he’s doing and Texas will be just fine. -

If hammers get dropped we will just go back to full on bag games. -

Are there penalties in place for punishing this kind of activity? If the hammer isn't dropped on this kind of stuff, it won't stop. -

Rules only apply to Texas cause “ethics” and if the “rules” are so unknown then operate your NIL program as you had previously been doing. Don’t hamstring yourself and put yourself behind the 8ball because you want to be a stickler for arbitrary rulings that will be litigated in law suits -

You can’t sign multi-year deals to go against rev share prior to House. You could forward it one year and Texas did that as much or more than anyone else. What is happening now is folks are going beyond that. Read the article. - Promising third party NiL is illegal. - Paying players while still in high school is illegal. - Promising you’ll pay them more if rules change is illegal. -

Seems like the schools that were prepared and had the money probably signed guys currently on the roster to multi year deals out of the collective before July 1, thus freeing up the revenue sharing money. @Bobby Burton any insight as to whether or not Texas was/is operating like this? -

Other schools have not figured anything out yet, other than they’re willing to lie and/or openly break the rules. Read this article from today and you’ll get a better sense of the bs that is out there. https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/article/we-dont-know-the-rules--big-12-coaches-still-wrestling-with-new-world-order-after-player-payment-changes-013454522.html -
For those perplexed by the current NIL structure and how different schools are operating, the article I have linked below does a good job of laying out some of the terms. https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/article/we-dont-know-the-rules--big-12-coaches-still-wrestling-with-new-world-order-after-player-payment-changes-013454522.html

Trust in Sark. July ain’t December. We’ve seen that time and time again. I’ll be blaring this song all December long when we close with a top 5 class and are looking at our 3rd straight playoff. Maybe some of y’all will remember Sark has been “Him” all along. -
My two thoughts are 1) he's probably going to OU according to the recruiting sites and 2) Texas is mentioned mainly so he can show off his "Horns Down" skills at the announcement ceremony to hear the roar of the crowd.

Roy Hinojosa replied to Gerry Hamilton's topic in On Texas Football Forum
So far, we got 2 of the players who were planning on committing in June and July. Not good. Teams are taking our NIL lunch money, and stuffing us in in our locker. If other teams seemingly figured out third party NIL before us, that's unacceptable and needs to be rectified quickly. We are in a new age of NIL, and right now Texas is not in the fight. We lost on TWO legacy recruits and now recruits like Ojo are just toying with us. -

There's no spin here. There was no spin last year either. Or the year before that. Texas will continue to recruit hard and see where the chips fall. Acting like this is some sort of death spiral is nonsensical.- 57 replies
