Rivals is doing a lot of coverage , as well as CBS Sports with live coverage and commitments etc. FWIW Rivals had Easton at the # 5 spot overall in their top 10 for today. They had Donte Wright at #1 MVP for the day. Had a couple 7 on 7 games after individual drills, more 7 on 7 tomorrow. All of our guys except one are on Team Southwest - Royal, Meredith , Foster and James until he flips lol. Lawrence is on Team Southeast.

Truly is a balance between HS and portal. I remember Sark talking on a podcast about this. Paying crazy $ to a HS guy that's dead money unless he can play right away etc. Versus getting a proven guy in the portal . Definitely need both. But if you can develop in house , cheaper than the portal you would think .

Definitely thick for sure. This OV dinners put pounds on everybody except Fakatou . He is down to like 264 or so.

Hell 6-6 will finally get Muschamp the job 🤣. He got his clicks so kudos to him !

Yeah it is at the Opening Nike Camp that restarted this year. 120 Elite athletes and UT has a few there with Royal, Meredith, and James until he flips lol. And Lawrence who just committed. Surprised not a Thread on it yet. Still couple more days left , definitely an elite experience for them. All our guys for 7 on 7 are on Team Southwest except for Lawrence on Team Southeast.

The Opening going on at Nike Headquarters for the next few days. Where 120 elite athletes come together. Saw where Team Southwest has Greedy James , Royal and Meredith on their team. Also a few LSU commits as well. Should be some fun huh lol .

McGee said bye. Must be that 5 Star culture under Campbell at PSU now 🤣

Yeah it seems Texas has a cb plan and a NIL plan on how to spend there as well. Got Meredith , and a good chance at a couple others. Pretty sure if he was viewed as a must get we would have ponied up. We win some NIL battles, and lose some. But yeah this ain't BK at LSU anymore. They are all in, so will be more battles to come. Is what it is for all until they sign in Dec.

Ole Miss check went higher and obviously cleared. 🤣

Awesome and hope he talks to Bishop as well. Bishop gonna be a beast whether cb or wr.

Texas Rev Share comes from 18 million not 20.5. The other 2.5 was used for scholarships they added. Breakdown is: Football- 13.5 MBB 2.7 WBB 900K All other Sports 900K So again easy to figure out we do a lot of 3rd Party , Texas One Fund etc. Really is amazing the how we do it to be competitive in so many sports.

Pretty sure it can be a combination of both Rev Share and 3rd party NIL. May be some guys getting only RS , others both. Texas only has 13.5 million in Rev Share for football. So easy to see 3rd party does a lot of business if our payroll is in the 30-40 million range. And those 3rd party deals as of now still have to clear the Clearinghouse etc. And yeah have read monthly pay. And as stated above some signing bonuses etc. Be fascinating one day to see how it is really done, how each school figures out their path. Texas One Fund seems very well ran , and dependable as well as compliant.

The real business starts now. The behind the scenes lobbying and amendments to the bill on the floor etc. The Big 10 and SEC will use all their chips now no doubt. They say they will bring it to the floor , but without 60 votes Thune won't bring it imo. Sure the 2 leagues want to stop it in the Senate. But if not the House is a different place , and see no way it gets done there anytime soon. We are all guessing, but I'd put my $ on no , or a very different version at the least.
