Spyre had a great start, but the playing field has found its level and we are 2nd tier.
Nico's NIL was an investment. It turned out bad.

We just signed a massive deal with Pilot last year. It looks like hell and defiles a sacred place. At least we could get some players out of it

We are being out spent to a degree that we shouldn’t accept. I don’t hold Nico against anyone at UT, we played that one right. But We need defensive backs badly and that’s been the case before today. I don’t know who has the final say in fund allocation but it’s evident that they aren’t intent on doing their utmost for football

Are you sure UT had the funds you think they do?How much do we have and where is it going? You can't make the claim without evidence. UT knows exactly how much they can spend

Their program enabled wins in the 80s and 90s by being a positive revenue generator. They literally gave more than they took from the AD. They also returned money to the gen scholarship fund. If in the future we go to a situation where the AD pays players directly it’s going to matter how much money they make.

I don’t buy your first assertion at all. Your second and third possibly. Your last one is also incorrect, Trump’s administration isn’t going to expand title 9 requirements into monetary compensation

Winning in WBB, MBB, Baseball, softball, etc is great but winning in football is essential if those other sports are to have any chance.

If I recall correctly the football program had revenue close to 150 million and a profit around 90million. So yea that’s more than enough. I don’t completely buy this number but Ohio State was alleged to have spent 20 million on players.

UT isn't paying the players directly.

I’m not really concerned with what you do or don’t buy. There was only a certain amount in the AD budget. Having a women’s BBall program that had positive cash flow instead of requiring subsidization by the AD allowed money to be spent on the football program that would have otherwise had to have been spent on women’s sports. As far as the last comment. I didn’t say anything about Title 9. I said if the collectives are eliminated and the ADs start paying the players directly it will matter if we have a profit turning women’s basketball team. More money in the AD..more money for players.

this, to me, is why I feel that if you go into the portal, you forfeit your current contract and scholarship with the school you are "transferring from"...So, then you run the risk of losing your spot. At this point, they can pull their name out of the portal and go back without penalty...give the player some risk as well.

100%. There needs to be some sort of checks and balances because as it sits we are in the Wild West.

You don’t believe there is a high level of interconnectedness between the collectives and the universities? I would find it hard to believe if there wasn’t.

Yes they are together but the AD revenue doesn't translate into NIL money avaliable to Heupel
