My dad said the same thing on a radio call in show back in the late 80s (maybe 790am or 950am but I can’t remember…). Anyway, the radio guys didn’t grasp what he was saying but the IRS can hammer anyone for not reporting payments over $600 on a 1099. That onus is on the payor; the payee is supposed to report the amount received no matter how much.
All the above is a roundabout way of saying I agree with you.

Tax evasion and money laundering. If anyone knows the underside of college athletics knows that the Miami Hurricane “U” of the 80’s and 90’s was a drug money money laundering scheme. The players get paid and they are directed to the nightclubs of the payors and the money gets laundered. That morphed into various charities and foundations whose recipients ended up being very good basketball and football players families. That morphed into the 12th man foundation…,
It is very unseemly but black markets always are created when there are artificial price constraints on labor in a for profit business,
Real answer… it happened first when he was at OK…in the big 12, who was also home of ut…

I think this is partly why Sampson is not scheduling LSU again. He probably thinks Wade is toast and we won’t know the new coach until May or June. Although it would be strategically good to schedule a neighbor on probation because they have a tougher time recruiting against you in your yard.
And Tennessee is a joke. That school can’t decide if their the fattest dumb kid or the dumbest fat kid.
I’ve heard next year’s schedule is a doozy. I’m hoping North Carolina is one team UH faces.

It doesn’t surprise me Wade wanted to call it off. He’s got plenty of strength on schedule and a short recruiting drive.
Oh well…maybe his replacement.
Put me in the corner of we will be better overall next year but won’t be sitting at 28-2 thru 30 games

More fire power on offense. The defense won’t have that much of a drop off. I agreed with you.
I think it gets down to Chris Harris… If he makes improvements we could be a top 5 team next year.
But don’t underestimate the loss of Davis and Robinson.

I am there with ya '72…I know we will be more talented but it might take some time for leaders to step forth…I love Hinton and feel like he could be something special next year…we have some very good incoming players and the future certainly looks bright…also thinking Gresham will step up in the middle…
Players tend to change based on what’s needed from them. Hinton would never be a 18-24 point guy as long as Corey is here. But, when the void is created, he’ll probably fill it quickly.
Personally I’d like to see Jarreau going to the line 6-8 more times a game. That would mean more slashing, cutting, and finger rolls.

This is true. Rob Gray left. Cory and Galen had to step it up. They leave, now Brooks, Hinton, Jarreau will step it up, and on, and on…

I think we are moving into the next level.
Successful teams go into rebuild mode every three or four years. Great teams go into reload mode. I firmly believe we are moving on from rebuild mode going into reload mode. That’s when you become a regular fixture in the rankings, the NCAA tournament and high quality recruiting classes.

Brooks and Harris will be our seniors next year, so I expect them both to step it up. There is something that happens to a player when he becomes a senior and I think Brooks will really blossom. I also think that Jarreau and Hinton will step forward as well.
The future for our entire athletics program hasn’t looked this bright since our first year in the SWC in '76.
