He didn’t answer the direct confirmation question with a direct answer here. I’m more concerned now than I was before I listened. My heart wants to love this guy - my head says “he may be no different than Kiffin - put that wall back up!”

hearts and walls? What are we, dating him? He's a mercenary just like every other college coach. Support him while he's here and moving us in the right direction. Turn on him when he's not.

So we need to find a way to outbid Bama? Damn. Hard to see that happening. Only hope is them spreading that money around so many great talents.

Not necessarily outbid…more COMPETE. We’re not even in the game as is. The crap I read about Nolen’s recruitment clinically depressed me.

People call it Texas because that's the beneficiary, but none of the money directly goes through the school or anyone officially associated with it. This is its own entity, Clark Field Collective. The people donating to the Clark Field Collective are Texas donors of course, but their donation to the CFC is in no way tied to the university.

The CFC will then donate money to University of Texas athletes for different services because legally there has to be a quid pro quo. In this case it'll most likely be autographs, appearances, and it'll also help pair local businesses with athletes.

Which is just straight up paying players and very uncreatively. We're about to watch the end of CFB. I just hope we get a few more wins before it all implodes.

If Texas and TAMU are allowed to do straight up funds, USC, tOSU and BAMA will follow. Then It's over for the rest of us. That's the truth. If student athletes are allowed to do their own hustle as opposed to donors setting those things up THEN we have a fairer playing field but we won't compete with oil money or Tech/Hollywood money or even BAMA's brand at this point. We'll compete with smaller schools like Auburn for 2nd tier. 3rd tier schools and lower might as well fold up shop.

BW made it sound like we offered a substantial amount to Nolen. You read different?
