Sounds like Arch has been really…

Does anyone know the 3 groupings of NIL referenced in the chart above? A guess: ”Commercial” is legit NIL from a 3rd party commercial interest. Ex. Quinn Ewers and Dr.Pepper ads ”Collective” is the deals with the school booster collectives which tend to be more charitable-centric activities for compensation. Ex. Horns with Heart ”Collegiate” is the revenue share payments directly from the school?

I’m guessing the percentages for each positions group are an aggregation of the numbers players in each group. So, if Texas has 15 OL on the roster and 5 TE, we’d need to gross up the TEs to get some comparator of NIL spend percentage. In this example, 3.5% times 3 = 10.5%, which would reflect having an equal number of OL players and TEs on the roster. It also shows that having just 4 QBs on the roster still commands 15%-23% of the total NIL bucket.

And footballs

Offense!!! I see offense!

Prior to 1974, the UPI poll (now “Coaches Poll”), awarded the national championship after the regular season but prior to the bowl games, most notably in 1964 (Arkansas / Bama) and 1965 (MSU / Bama). It was not uncommon for the UPI national champion to lose their subsequent bowl game…since they had nothing to play for and the bowl was effectively an inter-sectional exhibition game. There have been 11 times where the UPI / Coaches poll differed from the AP Poll, but once we arrived at the BCS era, that largely resolved things (except for the final AP protest vote in 2003).

Jam Miller was really good in blitz pick-up, which will be critical for T.Simpson as he develops. Not sure what R.Young brings there.

I wonder if Sean Payton sees a bit of a Taysom Hill type of asset in Sam Ehlinger?

Who will be the starting LT if Zuhn folds inside to Center? Are they going to put true frosh L.Rogers out there to protect M.Reed’s backside this year? That’ll be a win-prevention strategy.

Well, Reed’s passing appears to be in mid-season form already.

Maybe he’s playing for the aggy basketball team instead?

Duke Pettijohn got his kid a better deal than Texas was willing to offer. Enjoy Columbus!

Most aggies can’t spell ROI

19 yards, but who is counting. 😂

You really can’t blame Zach…the long-term damage to his body of 9 career NFL carries can’t be underestimated.
