NIL - Texas style

And another wrinkle. In state tuition vs out of state. With lower cost how to do make a distinction between a kid from California who enrolls at Wisconsin and a kid from Whitefish Bay,? Both kids have $100k NIL deals but the out of state kid gets screwed, more of his NIL goes towards education. That’s any state

And again once you start to put “value” on a scholarship it’s ripe to become taxable income and that’s one thing nobody wants

Well got to do something NIL is out of control

It’s not out of control. What’s out of control is the misinformation out there that six figure deals are the norm.

The problem is not that people have the impression that six figure NIL deals are normal. It's the reality that there are six figure NIL deals out there, and they will distort the recruiting balance, because the majority of schools will not have that kind of booster clout. The problem is simply becoming that there is no longer even a facade of parity in recruiting because of it.

As we all know, there hasn't been parity since.... I don't remember when there was, and I've been around the game, and seen what's happening, for over 60 years. It's just that now, with NIL being acceptable, those institutions that had boosters playing the game under the table can now do it above the table, and they'll be more than happy to spend even more, because they will find ways to make it tax deductible. The majority of schools? A kid might get a free pizza every other Monday, 3 topping maximum.

They will find a handle on this eventually. It might mean that the Power 5 goes their own way, and the rest of the lot work within certain guidelines, that establish parity. It might also be that the Power 5 realizes that their well will eventually run dry, and they will join the rest, and sort of push for the student athletes to end up as sort of a "consortium," or union, if you will, where the money from NIL is spread across the board, for the entire spectrum of institutions. Who knows? It's all a question of how much greed will play into the picture on an almost daily basis.

But, I'd say for close to a decade, this thing will be with us as a major distraction, and pointed at as the reason some teams are winners, and others become perpetual losers. It's probably going to be closer to the truth than we'd like to admit.
 
I knew A&M was going to be a player in the NIL market. I know several graduate engineers from their program who are heavily into oil. They've got the money, just don't have enough places to spend it in a way that gives them a happy ending.

What better than to throw it into a pool and/or promote your own business industries, than making sure the football team is successful, in a "Texas sense."

When Saban is whining, you gotta admit there's an imbalance out there, because he's one of the biggest recipients of side money spending by donors in the nation. Kind of like seeing the guy driving the Maserati being mad because someone showed up in a Bugatti La Voiture Noire. The Maserati is special, but that Bugatti? Come on now! You can use Maserati's as taxis, compared to that one!

It may take A&M a few years, but with Jimbo there, it won't be long. Texas just got a slower start. They'll make up ground very quickly. Then Saban can distribute that anger for being "left out" of the oil cartel's money.

Texas A&M is King of the Hill!

Sorry when we have millions being thrown around by each school it's out of hand
