Also Gary Petersen, Mark McDougal, John Sellers, Mark Lanier, Tim Culp, and others. About a dozen guys are handling most of this but there are many giving 5 and 6 figures as well. The alumni are as mobilized as they’ve ever been. Mahomes is in on it as well and has Adidas involved.
Regarding burnout, Cody Campbell and John Sellers played for Mike Leach. They’re motivated. The $4 billion asset sale was the 4th time they’ve sold Double Eagle’s assets and the second time they went for more than a billion.
The entire Tech starting Dline returns. The entire Tech starting DLine is now 2nd string. Tech bought an entire DLine including 2 DE who are Top 40 draft prospects
I think with the settlement payments where the schools pay up to the 20 mil cap will help settle things down as far as player movement.
On the nil tech has , there will be that committee that vets the nil deals to see if each deal is legit vs pay for play so do we think that could stabilize the insanity some?
I think it could and so just if you have a 100mil in nil , it has to be vetted by their the system and I think the p4 sees that as a stabilizing effect.
This is TT first swing at bigtime money and bigtime pro prospects, they could blow it out of the water the first year. A$M has had 100 years of futility. TT is a lot like us, they know how hard it is to be overlooked.
I have known two people who started oil companies, both form Dallas, not in oil business but business degrees. The start up capital is about $150 mil, but if you hit a few wells and with fracking it was not hard to do, you can sell for billions, which they both did. Pretty good ROI, considering turn around was less than 20 years.
So back to my question. There will soon be a clearing house approved by all p4 s to vet the nil deals to verify it’s not merely play for pay. I think right now it’s still crazy until the committee is in place to start reviewing deals as either legit or pay for play which would be void.
We’ll see, but I doubt it’s gonna be all that clear-cut once players start challenging any limits placed on their ability to contract. The clearinghouse doesn’t suddenly make that limitation constitutional, so those limits will require the courts to backtrack. I have my doubts.
