  1. On its face, the order doesn't really bind anything because it doesn't do what executive orders have the power to do, which is clarify the application of federal legislation. The federal judiciary will view this as nothing but chatter. This has less legal standing than the House Settlement, which we've already seen is shaky.
  2. I just figured out that the lead female vocalist from Jefferson Starship is Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane who sang White Rabbit and Somebody to Love. I literally grew up listening to both and I didn't know.
  3. You can get consent from players without unionization. Most employee contracts in the US aren't unionized.
  4. Yes, it would. Unionization benefits employees that don't have rare skills because it sets a baseline level of compensation above real market value. The reason some professional sports are unionized is to set a baseline level of security for all players.
  5. Federal legislation that doesn't give the players the right to agree to the terms won't withstand judicial scrutiny. The Supreme Court has basically said that. Colleges don't want players of revenue generating sports to be employees, but they can't get around it as long as they are making money off the players.
  6. Essentially the collective can operate just like third parties rather than as originally defined as "affiliated." Still needs CSC approval, but doesn't count against the "cap." I've said more than a dozen times on here that the idea of controlling marketing deals was patently idiotic. First threat of legal action and it goes away. Next will be the CSC itself.
  7. It's a good thing Kirby prioritized relationships over transactions. He runs a wholesome program that values ethics above all.
  8. Just the beginning. This "agreement" signals the CSC is already admitting they can't win in court. The only way to get the guardrails they keep clamoring for is to make athletes employees.
  9. When I got to Palo Duro, I met two dopers (guy and girl) from Texas Tech. They asked me to go into Canyon to eat dinner. I did. They were good people, but they were dopers. I said let's go back to camp and hike up the canyon tomorrow morning. They agreed. They started with me at dawn. About fifteen minutes later they stopped, Barbecued with them that night.
  10. Twenty? Remember driving to Palo Duro Canyon listening to Grace White Rabbit followed by America Horse with no Name in Clarendon, TX.
  11. Grew up around Traylor in Gilmer. Mom says can't say anything good don't say anything. Went to Texas as undergraduate. University of Chicago as a graduate student where Rosen was my director. Go ask Alice. Bizarre.
  12. Eagles fans cuss Santa Claus and Jesus. We got one here.
  13. This is where we need mods to clearly differentiate good from bad. Since we have Eagles fans here, not surprising it's the same as dealing with criminal sooners.
  14. I think the Longhorns would rather Lott admit he's a long term corner. Oregon will play him until he transfers or switches to defense.
  15. True enough, I suppose. Never made a post I wouldn't want a ten year old to see.
  16. Need to take away the whining next. Not exactly magnanimous of a championship winning coach to constantly complain about recruiting, schedules, refs, the SEC Commissioner, and the inability to control the criminal behavior of his players.
  17. Arch for Texas fans against Ohio State.
  18. This little guy reminds me of Kirby and the whiners about money and technology.
  19. Kirby needs to establish some relationships with the Athens PD. Lived there for a while when I was seventeen and eighteen without ever getting a single ticket.
  20. I've said it before. We need to cut off the criminal sooners as our "rival." Stop playing them every year. They won't be able to recruit Texas. They'll be where they belong as Arkansas State. Send them straight to purgatory where they belong. We need legitimate home grown rivals like LSU, Georgia and Florida.
  21. Listening to Jim Nagy claim the criminals could have a NFL draft pick from every position group next spring makes me wonder if the drugs are flowing more freely in Norman than during the Switzer era or he's setting up Venables.
