    They have been paying players and it hadn’t worked, money isn’t their problem…the culture is.

    Texas and TAMU will each have player NIL payrolls higher than NFL teams very soon. It will be spread over a larger roster but the $$$$ will easily be enormous. NFL typically has one primary owner per team and this person is in it to make money.


    UT and TAMU each have thousands of active alumni worth $25+ million. Each have multiple active billionaire supporters.....they will outbid anyone in a head to head NIL negotiation.

    Another to watch for massive NIL deals.....USC has near unlimited alumni $$$ resources as well.

    I wonder how long it will last? Will it collapse under it's own weight? The NCAA reverses itself (not going to happen). The haves separate from the have nots? Will schools like Vanderbilt or Kentucky be forced out of the SEC because they just can't compete money wise.

    Hypothetical situation.. If a new conference is being formed from scratch would Vanderbilt, Kentucky or even Mississippi State or Ole Miss fit the criteria for the SEC? I dunno

    To get a sense of the scale of money:

    Texas endowment: 42.9 billion
    aTm endowment: 18 billion
    LSU endowment: 696 million

    LSU and some other SEC schools are closer to us in true wealth. I understand the endowment is not paying the NIL....but the same people who created the endowment will be. This gives you an idea of the relative wealth of the donors etc....

    NIL will blow up everything we know about major college athletics.

    And it came from the Supreme Court of the United States of America so it really can't be fixed.

    Hey, why should these athletes be deprived from the living the American dream?

    Its capitalism.

    The cream rises to the top.

    I wonder if this is intended by the NCAA. I guess the days of the student athlete are over

    There is nothing to guess, the NCAA has a become semi-pro development league.

    I think Texas will be a great place for Arch. It's a good choice for him to succeed and make his own legacy. It's going to be exciting to watch his college career and I think he will be great there.

    Won’t Texas be in the SEC by the time Manning is the starter?

    Also, how much does NIL weigh for someone coming from a family like the Mannings, vs playing at a high profile, soon to be at least SEC program with a coach who can be a great offensive mind if he can keep his personal stuff in line?

    This definitely wasn't an NIL deal, he doesn't need the money. But their money will help build a roster around him for the next few years. Texas doesn't have the talent of Alabama, Georgia or even Texas A&M right now.

    I'm not surprised by his decision because he avoids trying to live down the legacy of his grandfather and uncles playing at Ole Miss and Tennessee. And his decision makes it easier for the family to tolerate, unlike LSU, Alabama or Georgia. He made the best decision for himself.
