No, it's not. What that means is that the House Clearinghouse will deem 70% of those NIL deals invalid. I assure you that Texas has a ton of them, just like UGA, tOSU, etc.
Like everyone else, Texas will have:
- around $15.5 million in RevShare
- whatever you can come up with in NIL is in the 90% of the deals with public companies, or 30% of the deals from Booster collectives. I can assure you the 30% of the Collective booster deals are the small ones, not big ones.
Texas will be affected just like everyone else. If there is something special about Texas that enables you to drive legit NIL deals, you will have more to offer the athletes. That's the next frontier ... what can Collectives do to generate legit NIL. For example, does USC have an edge being in LA? Maybe not - USC players compete with pro teams, and I would guess not many people in LA know who any of the USC players are. Meanwhile, players in Lincoln Nebraska are well known and have market value. Those are the things that will matter.

For sure, even a dummy like you knows that.I see a ton of potential lawsuits. But I’m not an attorney. My momma raised me better than that!
Seriously, I fully expect lawsuits to be filed within 48 hours, if not sooner. The only thing it has going for itis that it will get some deference from the other federal courts. But not much.

invalid??
and last week the head guy at Texas One Fund said collectives will be even more important with some of the changes that will be coming. There is soo much grey area.. You are not putting this genie back in the bottle.
BTW Texas is special because they are located in a city where they are the only team in town and the city continues to grow with fortune 500 companies moving into the area.
Again, this is not going to hurt Texas...

No, the Genie will go back in the bottle at some point, or the sport will go to shit. And I am not one of those who says everything is going to shit. The simple fact is that no league in any sport anywhere allows teams to spend unlimited funds without some structure in place. Not a one. At some point there will have to be some level of guardrails or the competitive balance will be so skewed that people won't care any more. There has always been haves and have nots, but at some point it won't be the sport any of us knew if the likes of Texas, tOSU, UGA, Bama, etc. can spend all they want with no limits.
You keep saying that it won't hurt Texas. You are spending unlimited money right now because you have unlimited oil money to spend. The House limits will not allow that. Fortune 500 companies don't spend unlimited money for college football players who don't deliver to the their bottom dollar.
You are right, the collectives are more important than ever, but their role has changed under House. Under House, it's the ones that can get their team's players legit NIL. Perhaps your team will be one that can raise the most legit NIL, but we don't know that now because you've shown to be really good a raising pay-for-play NIL which is legal today, likely won't be on July 1, likely will be on July 2 after the first lawsuits hit.

Not well done at all. The more the states do this, the more chaos we have. I prefer to not have chaos, even though my team is just fine in it. Some of us can look past our own teams to the health of the sport in general. This isn't good in any way. I have to run but will post more on this later.

oil money or actual deep donor pockets that have nothing to do with oil.. it doesn't matter, Texas is spending and it's hurting egos of schools that prospered under the old way of things. Fuck the house and fuck the boo hoos

LOL, you've always spent ... you act like this is something new. You guys were just as dirty under the old ways, you just weren't good at it and didn't prosper.oil money or actual deep donor pockets that have nothing to do with oil.. it doesn't matter, Texas is spending and it's hurting egos of schools that prospered under the old way of things.

Nice attitude about the sport. You are a good guy here, but you wonder why people think Texas fans suck ass. This is an example. What a selfish outlook: "Let's let Chaos run amock because it's the only way we can come close to winning (without winning)."
UGA has always spent, and we will continue to do so, so this isn't me boo-hooing. We beat you twice last year and will do so again this year. This is from someone who spends all the money we need and understands this isn't sustainable.

we always spent?? bro we just started spending.. that old bubble from the late 90s is finally being taken apart because of the new practice facility that will be opened next year.. our lockerooms were finally upgraded in 2018 after not being touched since the early to mid 2000s.
The south EZ project was completed for Sark 2nd season.
If you want to talk about recruitments.. if we were paying, do you know how many players that went to UGA/BAMA/LSU would have been wearing Texas uniforms?
Always paying but all of the sudden we are recruiting multiple 5 star players every cycle.. something we only did once since the Mack era ended.
But yeah we always spent... on bad coaches lol

So you are saying Texas wasn't dropping bags like anyone else? You were, but being in the B12 and having shit coaches is why Saban and the Smart were getting more of the better players. Now you have Sark, the SEC, and of course NIL where you can legally drop bags of any size, for now.
But, at the end of the day, whether it is House, CBA, or something else, they have to get this under control where the players get paid plenty, but it's not unlimited. No sport can survive that ... that's why the pro sports have caps, free agency rules, taxes, etc. I get that you like the Wild West because you think your school has the money to buy the best roster, but you will be able to do the same thing one some type of system is in place. It just won't be unlimited ... and that's good for the sport in general. The top teams will always be the top teams because of the history, being flagship schools, geographic location, coaching, etc.

THAT'S EXACTLY what I'm saying lol...
Don't be lazy, go look at those classes a couple years before Mack got fired and after Mack got fired.. up to Sarkisians run.. dropping bags? lol..
as far as it not being unlimited...
"The Texas One Fund held its annual fundraiser last night with dignitaries across the Longhorn spectrum in attendance. From coaches, to players, to administrators and ardent supporters and even celebrities, like Joe Rogan, it was an event to behold.
Lynyrd Skynyrd, Leon Bridges and Parker McCollum were the musical guests. Held at DKR, guests were seated on the football field.
It also included both live and silent auctions of donated prizes. There were trips with the various teams, wild game hunting excursions, a film viewing with Matthew McConaghey and Richard Linklater, and much, much more.
The proceeds of the auction benefit the Texas One Fund, the NIL arm of the university.
And the numbers were somewhat staggering, reaching well into the 7-figures.
In sum, the event, designed to garner NIL support for Texas athletics, achieved its goal and then some."

I am confident you can raise a ton of money. That isn't a surprise to anyone. But it is not limitless. Alumni will get tired of giving it away. I've talked to donors at UGA and Bama, who are cutting back. Part of it is that the drive to do so wanes once you start winning.
