    We're getting into the luncheon portion of the event. Sark was just introduced by Mattress Mack, and he's about to start his address. I'll pass along anything interesting from Sark.
  2. Jeff Howe
    That's it for Sark. We'll have the full video up later on the OTF YouTube channel.
  3. Jeff Howe
    Arch's physical and mental toughness stood out to his teammates. The Texas guys at the NFL Combine told teams that Arch was the toughest guy on the team, which says a lot about a team's quarterback.
  4. Jeff Howe
    "Fundamentally, he's so much cleaner right now," Sark said of Arch Manning. That should help Texas be better in the quick game and be more efficient on first down, he said.
  5. Jeff Howe
    Sark just wants the rules that everyone has agreed to to be properly governed. Whether that's the NCAA or another entity, Sark just wants the rules to be the rules and for there to be punishment or consequences for breaking them, rather than "running to a judge" to get an injunction to make a player eligible.
  6. Jeff Howe
    Sark: "We aren't policing our own rules. Why do we need federal intervention? For that very reason."
  7. Jeff Howe
    "I probably shouldn't have used basket weaving as my example for the class," Sark said regarding his Ole Miss comments. The class is irrelevant, he said. His point was that someone getting a degree from Texas has to complete 50 percent of their degree at Texas, which isn't the case for other programs, Ole Miss being one of them.

    Sark said Bishop is a great player who has the right mental approach to football to potentially handle being a two-way player.
  9. Jeff Howe
    Jermaine Bishop "is a fantastic football player," Sark said. Sark praised Bishop's football IQ before saying that Bishop will get some work with the secondary this summer.
  10. Jeff Howe
    On future non-conference scheduling, Sark said it'll take getting clarity on where college football is going in the 18-24 months before the Longhorns make their next move. "There's nothing I can do the next two years," he said. "Beyond that, what the NCAA decides to do and what the SEC decides to do, we'll go from there."
  11. Jeff Howe
    I was hoping we'd get more team-centric questions, but everybody seems to want to ask Sark about the CFP and NIL/revenue sharing.
  12. Jeff Howe
    Sark: "If you're in the SEC, you're doing everything in your power to build a great roster."
  13. Jeff Howe
    Sark: "Everybody's getting creative with ways to pay their players — some more legitimate than others, and that's OK."
  14. Jeff Howe
    Sark on the $30 million mark: "I would venture that the Big Ten schools aren't far off."
  15. Jeff Howe
    Sark saw a roster valuation of what Texas is supposedly (or presumably) paying players. He said it's "about $10 million off."
  16. Jeff Howe
    Sark believes there isn't an SEC team paying under $30 million for their roster.
  17. Jeff Howe
    "We're going to have to live with some of those growing pains early in the season," Sark said regarding playing younger guys earlier in the season to make sure they're more prepared in November and December.
  18. Jeff Howe
    On the non-conference schedule, Sark mentioned Indiana isn't playing a Power Four opponent, whereas Texas is playing two quality G5 opponents and Ohio State. Sark wasn't knocking Indiana, but this is what he's talking about when he mentions how, from one conference to another, scheduling isn't equitable.
  19. Jeff Howe
    The group of guys who missed time in spring practice or were limited will be ready to go when summer conditioning, Sark said.
  20. Jeff Howe
    Jonah Williams should be ready to go by training camp, Sark said. He's a work in progress, but he'll be able to do some things this summer.
  21. Jeff Howe
    Sark said they guys who had offseason surgery haven't had any setbacks. Everybody is on the projected timeline to return.
  22. Jeff Howe
    Sark is breaking down why the NFL playoffs work and the CFP doesn't. It's more equitable and balanced in the NFL, but that's not the case in college football. Yes, that includes admissions and academic requirements.
  23. Jeff Howe
    Sark's first question was about the CFP. As he's said before, he'd rather be at four teams than 24 teams in the CFP.
  24. Jeff Howe
    The Longhorns have their work cut out of them, but Sark, "there's nowhere I'd rather be with these expectations."
  25. Jeff Howe
    Sark is going through why the Longhorns aren't a finished product, but... "We're not shy in saying that we think we've got a really good football team," he said.
