Not sure what this is but looks like something Texas can do better in. 
 

Is Texas in the works on something like that? 16M jump in revenue is a lot of spending power for our competitor.

If Aggy can get the largest media rights deal in college athletics, imagine what we can do 

[tenneseehorn08]

This is just a headline. Rather than manage individual media rights deals in house directly with brands--for example, Texas has deals with American Airlines, Budweiser, etc, to name a few--Aggie is contracting that out in advance to one entity. That entity gets both the upside and downside. In short, they are aggregating their advertising and media deals over time to one entity. Im not privy to the numbers, but I assume if we did that it would be way higher. Presumably there is some NIL upside here too because it is likely the brands and the students athletes get a centralized place to try and sell/license actual nil rights. But the long and short is that Texas probably already gets more from its media deals collectively than this agreement promises for a&m.

Aggies have to recoup that Jimbo money somehow 🤣

Interesting. I’d like to hear what Bobby says too.  Aggy seems to try to get out in front on things and realizes other teams will just come in and beat it. 
 

I read it as a place where this company will focus on generating partnerships with companies like you mentioned. Not only is Aggy getting money from this company but also partnerships that they bring in. 
 

The middle man is paying Aggy. I’m sure there is a cost but the top line is still higher and the NPV is definitely higher than 0

The NPV isn't zero, but that's the wrong reference point. The reference point is what is the NPV of these deals collectively - the cost savings for A&M for not managing this in house referenced against Texas's net NPV for similar.  As mentioned, the wild card is whether there is some competitive advantage for legit NIL deals, which there might be due to centralization of the marketplace. But the top line number is a just a headline.

Seems like the company tweeted and said they plan to help the NIL

Texas should out do them

They are trying to say this is good for the new revenue sharing modal and that this will double the amount of money they can pay athletes

Between this and Jim Nagy, the rivals have to do whatever they can to keep up with the powerhouse brewing in Austin.

That's a lot of money to get to 8-5.  Good for them

I swear A&M keeps finding money - they're better at this than Elizabeth Holmes was.

NIL should be no different at A&M than Texas. Brands can do the exact same thing at Texas through Learfield.

The only thing this accomplishes it getting A&M out of an antiquated, less revenue deal with Learfield.

As far as being the highest, it will be that way until another rights property of equal or greater value (like Texas) comes available. That’s the nature of things.

How long is Texas with Learfield? How much Texas make with Learfield?

Speaking of the criminals hiring Nagy as GM, it seems like a potentially good move in terms of taking roster management await from Venables, something he's obviously not very good at. The problem is that if you fire Venables in the next year or two (likely), it will be difficult to convince a high level coach to take the job if Nagy has final say over the roster, which appears to be the deal.

I’ll look into what they made. I believe current deal goes through 2030 or 2032.
