The $20mm is across all sports. Football will be roughly $15mm. Some collectives will disappear but not all. Texas will continue to have an outside collective designed to find deals for players. The bigger issues here are around the edges. For example, what will be “fair market value” of a player? Will that definition hold up in court (most believe it will not). What happens when and if the players organize? The House Settlement is yet another band aid on a bullet hole. It’s a start but it’s nowhere near finished.

He’s a take. Seven sacks last year.

Belyeu was heading to doc today. MRI yesterday on thumb.

How many national championships did Baker Mayfield win?

Pinning this!

Stanford, too. Stanford stopped using Indians as their nickname in early 70s. Interestingly, Jim Plunkett, who won the Heisman for Stanford in 70 or 71, had some Native American ancestry.

Fair assessment IMO. On the downslope of a historic run. But… When’s the last time Jose Altuve played on a losing baseball team? Or Jeremy Pena, or Yordan Alvarez? There’s some winners DNA in this team.

Works for me!

Turd burglar!

My daughter is a senior there now. They have better squash facilities than baseball facilities.

BTW - it's not impossible that Alvarez could still be getting even better as a hitter. His strikeouts per at bat were way down last year despite a much higher AB number.

Well, they're a favorite to make the playoffs until they're not. Anybody who has this guy in the lineup typically has a chance. Will likely depend on if pitching can hold up.

1. I don't know. 2. Absolutely.

I thought Lovell Pinkney, when he first arrived on campus, would eventually be an elite NFL player. But he never really progressed after year one in Austin. I don't know if I misjudged his overall ability or he perhaps he just didn't love football, I really don't know what happened. But I thought he would make it big and he just never did.

Interesting takeaway besides celebrating Poona there is that the NFL is about matchups on the OL. What can I do to out-leverage or out-reach you?

Here at the SEC tourney to watch the Horns. T’Vondre Sweat is in the house.

Nathan, if I were greedy, I'd be doing something else, somewhere else. I can guarantee you and all of you here that this endeavor is not about the money for me.

I think we should do this by decade. About every 10 years, there’s one that the sting never really goes away.

It felt like North Dallas Forty had come to life.

The Thorpe ceremony is in Oklahoma.
