Originally posted by Heath View PostNot public opinion, but the attention it was given to the what was going on. It very well known that A&M didn't produce the class they got with NIL last year. It was a bag game with a lot of promises. There have been some talk about those promises not being paid out as some of the big donors got nervous with the attention and the IRS talk (this was the biggest hold up).
With that attention, A&M has been scrambling to cover their tracks, get NIL setup publicly (legitimately) as a a lot of FOIA request were / are happening and pressure on A&M to show their cards in the NIL game. A&M is going through the process of setting up NIL programs like what Texas, Tech, and others currently have. This a very tedious and legal process to make sure all the t's are crossed and i's are dotted plus get it approved by compliance. I know the guys that setup several of the Texas NIL and the process was crazy. This is important when it is as public when these programs are public. Saban knew exactly what he was doing for taking that fight public.
From the A&M side, there has been a lot of pressure on what is going on in recruiting (Class is currently sitting at #59 with only 6 kids - The average per player is higher than Texas though). Jimbo even had to answer it at SEC media days with what is going on. Now it seems the donors who funnel that part of the program have committed to pushing their chips back in the game and are becoming a player in a lot of recruitments now to try to turn the tide. This is great news for A&M. Money whipping kids is the name of the game now. Before NIL, 10-20% of your class was taking money to come to your school. Now its almost 100% of the class asking what they are getting as they can legally take money. That is what has changed.
I am not bashing A&M at all, as they put their balls on the table last year. I have said what I have seen from A&M is an all-in commitment to be good in football and I am **** jealous of that commitment. With what they are building there is reason they shouldn't be competing year in and year out now. I am just providing some information I have heard and it comes from two different sources on both sides of the table (A&M and Texas).
Edit - Just wanted to add, I am not saying Texas or any other school are not dropping bags (paying a kid under the table) as well to their NIL games. A good chunk of what is going on is on the up and up with the NIL programs that have been run through compliance but I am sure it is going on. The known NIL programs are there to offer compliance protection from the school. Every NIL deal that gets done has to be signed off of it by the school.
See since I said it that makes it true. Cheaters.
Everybody dropping bags, everybody. Everybody. We will land a #5-8 ranked class with only 20 dudes, full of quality to go along with the massive amounts of studs from last year. Don’t worry.

Saw several tweets today on the A&M team wide NIL. I’m still a fan of just pay every D1 player $25k a year across the board and call it a day. Glad to see the ladies getting in on it as well.

2022 College Football - Offseason
Originally posted by EastTexasMan View PostDidn’t read this whole thing, but your class this year is a bag game and your paying guys not to go on visits and dropping bags to commit…..I mean how could a 5-7 team that lost 6 straight and lost to Kansas ever sign a good class without it?

To answer your question, because it is Texas. No matter how ****ty the program is dudes want to play here. It happens every single year. Texas has been terrible for over a decade and still pulled in great classes. Arch has a lot to with the success of this class and Sark still has some new car smell he can sale to these kids.
I hope Texas is. I do know we have a structured NIL game that is very well funded into the future to support whatever bag game there is. I also don't mind putting my name on what I wrote because I trust the sources it came from and I was just passing on a message that I thought was very positive to A&M if guys had questions why it has started off slow.
It is a totally different game now-a-days. You won't hear me bragging about getting X player over another school, or a big H2H win, or where the class finished in the rankings. It is like paying the hottest girl in the school to go to prom with you. The only thing that matters what you do after prom.Last edited by Heath; 07-28-2022, 04:31 PM.

Actually that came from the Aggie booster source.
I’ll let y’all go back to the same back and forth stupid banter that just gets repeated here without any solid intel. Enjoy.
