Phil Longo’s first season at Sam Houston will be one without home games. They’ll play their five home games at NRG Stadium.

Scotty Walden: “I’m trying to constantly make sure with GM that we don’t go over the $20 million cap.”

Room breaks out in laughter.

”I did that for the people in the back to wake them up,” he said. “We’ll never touch the $20 million cap at the University of Texas-El Paso.”

Again, not sure what’s being said, but Traylor is cracking Sark up.

Rhett Lashlee hopes revenue sharing and a cap structure will balance things out regarding what certain positions get paid that schools don’t lose kids just because of money.

Sonny Dykes echoed the same. He said if the starting left tackles at Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and TCU make roughly the same thing, then recruits will pick schools based on things other than money.

Joey McGuire said Cody Campbell is trying to help college football, not just Texas Tech. McGuire said Campbell has asked the Tech staff to look at an NFL salary cap so they’d be ready to act accordingly when revenue sharing and the “cap” kicked in this summer.

McGuire said he knows what his players make, but he leaves those discussions with prospects to James Blanchard and the personnel department.

Sark said player development is critical throughout the season so that young players can be ready to play earlier.

Sark said there’s a struggle between what science tells you about making sure your players are healthy over the long haul and having a physical football team with the kind of edge you want.

Didn’t get a chance to talk to him, but I did see Tyrone Swoopes in the crowd at the coaches panel. He’s an assistant coach at Lindale.

That’s it for today. CJ and I are posted up at a computer with everyone else, ready to watch the Derrek Cooper ceremony.

Not of the coaches’ lectures.

I mentioned this in another thread, but CJ and I happened to walk by the Texas coaches coming out of back stairwell in the convention center after Derrek Cooper committed. The staff was very happy, to say the least, and Sark was on the phone with a big smile plastered on his face.

Today was a good day for the Longhorns.
