Saturday: What Will Texas Do Given New NIL Ruling?

It's a temporary injunction until the case is formally adjudicated by the federal district court. Given the strong language of the Supreme Court ruling that allowed NIL a few years ago, however, there is very little doubt it will stand. That's what everyone said when the NCAA first came out with their attempt to slap the Vols a few weeks ago. They should have known they had no chance to enforce it, but, like Bobby said, they refuse to accept reality and move forward. Hence they probably must go.

Agree 1000%

Texas is going to speak with its own NCAA compliance officials and receive some guidance.

Great write up Bobby. Also, this portion is absolutely hilarious.  
 

I agree with UT taking a cautious route while the new ruling is being fleshed out. As Bobby said, Texas is far better prepared for NIL today than it was a few years ago. I do not know if the leader of the Tenn. collective is working in conjunction with the football staff or not but if this ruling becomes permanent then I fully expect UT and the Texas One Fund to do what is best for our players, program, and the university. 

The judge has given the guidance and what the future will be. We all know this. Of course Texas will take their time that is how they operate usually. But times are changing and I suspect we play the game much quicker, while still keeping main focus as before. 

No offer will be given without staffs approval at any university. That is what is so funny just move it in house because it already is in house so to speak. Coaches know who to offer and how much.You think any Collective is gonna match an offer without Sark's approval as an example. Collectives aren't just a renegade group ha, they work hand in hand with coaches and we all know it.

Next question will be on loyalty points in giving to NIL. Bet that gets looked at again everywhere, why not? Even though not related to this case, I can see another court case on that ha! Strike while this drags through the courts and Congress. Fun times ahead !

I agree with much of what has been posted above. I don’t see how a temporary injunction that prohibits the NCAA from enforcing its rules can be interpreted to mean that the rules have changed or no longer apply. That may well be the end result, but that is not the regulatory landscape right now.

That 22 A&M class was a last push effort before NIL and was money under the table and illegal. Please don't confuse anyone into thinking A&M was ahead of the curve in anything but meat judging and male cheerleaders.

If that is true about aTm, then Bobby Collins and SMU were way ahead in the 80s.

@Bobby Burton

Question on a separate but related issue…does this at all change the concept of having LH Foundation donations redirected to NIL purposes?  I believe the legislature green-lighted this in their NIL law, but we chose to refrain from using the donations in this way until some other NIL issues were settled.  Thoughts?

This would be one mechanism for Texas to really separate its NIL program from most others.

Also will this have an impact on whether or not HS athletes in Texas can get paid while in HS? Yes I know the 2021 law prohibits that here, but other states allow it.

Will this ruling have any effect? Of course the THSCA will keep fighting it. But I can see an athlete here challenging that and get their$ early as opposed to when they enroll. Quinn had to leave to get his.

I mean if an athlete can get offers now from a Collective is it fair he can't get his$ started now if other states HS kids can? Like Missouri for instance. Just thinking out loud, but I can see lawyer taking that on. More than likely Texas changes the law despite HS coaches objections.

I don't know how much clearer the Judge could be. Violates anti trust and the ruling will hold. Have read numerous articles from those in the know and no one believes this won't hold.

The only caveat is if Congress steps in which again seems very unlikely anytime soon, if ever. And here we are. Imo it is dead and buried, and we should navigate that way in the T1 Fund and Athletic Dept. We all know this is headed to the Athletic Dept taking over NIL eventually. We shall see .2 more big cases are out there as well . Back pay for athletes NIL which could be 4 billion the NCAA pays, and employee question. Buckle up!

It’s just a matter of time before a Texas High School athlete sues the State of Texas for blocking NIL and wins.
