This is such a bad take. It’s different with the House Settlement. Why are kids going to other schools? More NIL. NIL doesn’t grow on trees, Texas won’t have more NIL in Dec (and even if it did, some of these players are already signing contracts). You cannot compare this year to any year previously. 

And you know this how? Texas will have a top 5 class again as usual on December.

Can’t wait to see how stupid you feel in december so keep that same energy.

You seriously think teams are going to work these deals without assurances baked in especially since it’s coming from athletic revenue

December won’t be the same. Look what happened to the California TE (Bowmen?), he committed to USC and Texas stopped recruiting him all together. Have you heard any updates on him? No, because he was paid for 2-3 years. Texas isn’t just going to come on money to make him change his mind. 
 

the only caveat I would add is if someone fights the House Settlement and it’s determined illegal - that would allow Texas to go above the salary cap and things could change. If things stay the same, Texas doesn’t finish in the top 5. 

It's become a business and roster management is very key, another aspect is, if you give a bunch of money to a recruit, the current players look at it and say, I think I'm worth more than that - so come portal time, they could demand more money or hit the portal.  It's a very delicate process, which I'm glad I'm not responsible for.

Everybody wants assurances if they pay money to anyone.

FACTS! People need understand that you just can't throw money around without causing an imbalance on your team. Some of these teams are going to FAFO in couple of years on bad roster management 😳 😬!

I’m still dumbfounded by this entire thing. I originally thought the new settlement would calm the waters of NIL but it’s only brought more chaos & uncertainty 

Broke schools were upset that their cheating days were over

If you are talking about contracts, it’s because that has been reported pretty much everywhere. You sign a contract and are paid for your services. How do you get out of a signed contract? I am actually waiting to see what happens once a player  tries to break a contract in December. At the very least, the school losing the player has to be compensated. Who pays them back? If it’s the player, what happens if he has blown the money? That would mean Texas (for example), has to pay that school back and then still have to give that player NIL for coming to Texas. It would mean Texas has to pay even more money then they had previously declined to pay to a player. That’s not going to happen.

Not even a couple of years imo, this fall teams will find out real fast.  Can the boosters keep up?

Ojo has signed a 3-year deal with Tech….Sark can’t flip him or others that have signed similar deals. This is exactly what I was alluding to. Times have changed where waiting until November is a sound strategy

But the ones currently on the roster will likely enter the portal, those are the players Texas would likely go after this fall, not the HS recruits.

Based on some of the post here. It seems Sark is dumb, all the recruiting staff is dumb, our NIL staff is dumb

 Fire everyone I guess.  Shutdown the program
