@Gerry HamiltonIm in Savannah, GA for next couple of days. Who do I need to go visit and drop off a bag? 🤣🤣

Good question on #3

Rumor has it Tech is spending their full $20.5 million allotment from the House settlement on Micah Hudson’s chauffeur service

https://apple.news/A2oQpQQiVSBeEJRZPD6l3ww The pressure is on Joey McGuire to deliver results finally. No excuses with the amount the Red Raiders have invested. They should be clear favorite in Big12. Odd they didn’t upgrade QB as Gerry and Bobby have noted.

Coach White is going to need to pull a few transfers imo because losing 6 seniors is no joke, especially when 1 of them is a superstar in Mia Scott. A couple of former #1 recruits in the portal right now that are available including a pitcher from UCLA.

Ok, as I'm reading more on the terms of the House -v- NCAA, a few additional points I think I now understand. Today is my first day back from vacation so I'm catching up a bit on my daily OTF. lol. A few points for additional clarity. Gerry or Bobby, please correct me if I'm misrepresenting anything here: 1) Any NIL deal signed under contract prior to last Friday night at midnight will not be challenged. Those deals are effective and in place and they do not count against the $20.5m cap because they are from the collective and not from the school. Is that correct? So theoretically, the team currently could have $25m worth of contracts in place with the NIL and all of those are still in effect IN ADDITION to the fact that the University can now begin paying an the $20.5m for this upcoming school year. That is different than what I originally understood but it makes sense as a bridge to the future. For Canaday as an example, since she signed her NIL last Friday for another $1m next year from the collective, it's good and enforceable and won't conflict with the payments from the university. 2) All new NIL deals (whether it's from collectives or from companies directly) will have to be submitted into the review / approval process for Deloitte to administer and approve if the total value exceeds $600. So for Arch, his Redbull contract won't get reviewed that he's already executed; however if his next deal is ready to be signed this week, he'll need sign-off by the new sports commission and Deloitte before he can officially execute the agreement and receive payment. 3) This seems to be a clear case of WTF when it comes to Deloitte determining 'market value' for these NIL deals. Arch signing a $5m deal with Rolex may be easier to approve than a $1m deal with Ray's Used Cars for weekly 11p commercial spot. Btw, that $1m from Ray's Used Cars probably got funded from a booster and how is Deloitte going to make that discovery to realize the NIL payor is actually just the middle man and the billion dollar booster is the true funding source? How in the heck will Deloitte have any chance of actually maintaining some kind of market integrity? What does that even mean to be in compliance?

I think fasusi deciding to play in a spread offense is going to be a mistake for his development.

I always enjoy Dan Patrick's style of interviewing. Wish he would do more college football. In the recent past, DP has seemed to be a fan of Sark.

As I speculated in my prior note, I'm officially brain dead today after returning from vacation last week. Thanks for clarifying. That makes the UOV look even better. 🤘🏼

Bc he just finished his OV…there have been a million posts on it.

Interesting that Lamar Brown's trip mid-week is an unofficial visit in 9 days. Is that Texas keeping their official visit available for the fall? Curious why it's a UOV? Maybe Gerry already explained or I'm being slow on a Monday afternoon. lol.

With Greg Sankey and Pete Bevacqua (ND AD) meeting with Trump yesterday, it will be interesting to see if there's federal anti-trust legislation or some type of federal protections put in place that would give universities and this new College Sports Commission the protections and authority they need to support this new proposed financial structure with caps as outlined. Otherwise, the lawsuits are likely to be out of control this fall between title IX and any player claiming they are being harmed financially as a result of the new rules.

Looking good for Texas on that recruitment imo !

Dan Patrick and Paul Finebaum cover a wide range of topics, including the NCAA overall, NIL, Transfer Portal, the House -v- NCAA final agreement, the future of college football more broadly. Good stuff.

Can Lamar be this cycle’s Justus please?

Thanks Bobby. Appreciate how on top of all this you and your team are. Hook em!! 🐂🤘🏼🧡

Four, for sure.

Vic is seeing the light

Nice! Thanks @Bobby Burton

This is huge.

Four is and has always been the number.

Does taking Wells hurt with numbers? Or can you see 4 DLs in this class? @Gerry Hamilton I know Gurvil is a take right now but James Johnson and Lamar Brown arent number busters right, id assume they would be a take regardless

I will see if we can get one of a couple different people on.

I know this has been getting talked about since last fall when the initial ruling came out, but now that it's official, this is going to be fascinating to watch unfold. Given the effective date of July 1, 2025, there is no grace period it appears. It is IMMEDIATELY in effect this school year regardless of what NIL agreements schools have with their players going into the 2025/2026 school year. Is that others' understanding as well? How will universities have the contractual right to revise or even terminate agreements that are binding contracts with its players?
