Larry Ellison is in his bag

The NCAA made various rules that intend to limit the use of NIL as pay for play. NIL deals are supposed to go through a clearinghouse that confirms they are legit market rate deals and not just pay for play. It's very unlikely that these will ever be successfully enforced, but unfortunately it appears that UT has made it a priority to follow these dumb rules anyway while other schools are clearly not. Luckily we have enough legit corporate NIL to almost overcome this, but everything is 10x harder than it should be.

They are approving them all. They have no teeth.

RIP to our chances

This is my understanding. And there's a clearinghouse that is supposed to approve the NIL deals and ensure that they are representative of actual value the player deserves for the marketing he's providing - is that right? The clearinghouse is not involved in the RevShare though? I wonder how many of these NIL deals will be rejected by the clearinghouse (or when that process happens)?

@Gerry Hamilton @Bobby Burton @CJ Vogel Would the Yale o-lineman play tackle or guard for us? I’m seeing him listed at tackle?

Michigan visit for Cade Uluave starting tomorrow fyi.

I think the other posters hit it on the head. Another thing about rev share, it’s a pool of money that’s supposed to be distributed across all student athletes in all sports. The number is around 20 million per school. And each school can determine what percentage of the pie that each sport will get. So in other words, not all football programs have the exact same amount of rev share money to distribute amongst their players. But each school has the same amount of rev share to distribute among all its student athletes.

This.

REV SHARE - PAID BY SCHOOL NIL - PAID BY 3rd parties think of salary vs endorsements...at least that is how it is suppose to work...i think

Yes. Arch can offer a pay cut from the $20.5M since he has NIL deals with Vuori, Red Bull, Warby Parker, etc. that more than supplement what he would get from the rev share.

Essentially, yes. This is the case.

i will pay good money to see this

I’m the same with that Aggie @Gerry Hamilton lol

😭😭☠️💀

Feel like I’m being quoted by a celebrity seeing Joe Z. I won’t bring out DKs government name next time.

how we looking for the CAL kid

Makes sense now. The confidence yesterday in Coleman picking Texas is because Elmo didn’t want him.

Not a chance. If he ever saw me he would probably try to take swing at me...lol
