If Larry posts something you can always believe it. If its just his opinion then he says thats the case. He worked at UT for a long time and retired from there. My Dad was friends with him on VQ and we have bought tix from him in the past. That sucks about McCoy but I understand.

AP just said that he thinks McCoy comes back in October if he comes back at all. WR Rad Jackson is out now for a month with a collar bone injury too. In a positive note he said DT Moe should be back in 2 weeks for MSU.

If McCoy can play but doesn't, I don't understand. Players are getting paid now. He's not getting paid to sit on the sideline if he can go. If he does that, he should be asked to give back any and all NIL he's been given this season. JMO. They wanted to make this a business; well, this is business. Earn the money or forfeit the money.

An NIL post showed up a couple weeks ago. I asked if we know what's in the NIL contract.

Have you heard about what is contractually arranged wrt to an athlete choosing not to play when cleared?

I have no idea what their actual NIL contracts say, but McCoy is one of the better paid guys on the team. Legally, NIL cannot be tied to play, but I'll be damned if I'd cut him a check if he's healthy and sits by choice.

Understood. I don't think anyone really knows the performance clauses in the NIL agreements.

You'd violate the contract? That seems to be more harm than good for long term.

Because we all know the truth is it very much involves what you do on the field.

I literally do not follow your train of thought on this.
NIL signed.
NIL not paid for play.
Signee doesn't play.
Signee is violating the agreement.

Where am I off course?

There's "legal", and then there's "reality". Reality is you're getting paid to play (when healthy) no matter what anyone or any contract says.

I understand that. But the contract governs the terms. Not the reality.

Ancient Egypt Discovery - Archaeologists Uncover Evidence of ‘Impossible’ Technology That Rewrites History

For years, we’ve heard the same story: that the Egyptian pyramids were built by armies of workers dragging massive stone blocks up ramps under the blazing
www.conradleadership.org www.conradleadership.org

More BS conjecture regarding the pyramids. No less believable than the ramp theory though i guess. Wish people would just be honest and say that we have no idea how the heck they were built. We don't even know how they managed to carve the stones, ornate columns emellished top and bottom that are nearly perfect (dozens of them identical weighing 20 tons each) perfectly flat and square obelisks weighing 60+ tons etc. The current explanation from archeologists is that they were carved by hand using wood and stone tools...because this is several thousand years before the bronze age. Much less the iron age. Even metal is horrible for cutting stone or brick. Modern tools have diamond tipped blades and bits because its the only thing hard enough to cut them. Theres no evidence of diamond tools from this age either. I watched a thing recently about stone vessels looking like flower vases but larger from ancient Egypt. They scanned them with lasers and they were perfectly round and the walls were perfect curve and thickness down to thousandths of an inch. Carved from 1 piece of stone. The guy on the video said his state of the art CNC machines couldnt do that because the material is too fragile. These were carved from granite...not baked in clay. We have no idea how that civilization did lots of things, and that's OK. Apparently they were thousands of years ahead of any other civilization on Earth. Their advances and relics just don't fit with our current understanding of history...like the Antikythera Mechanism. We may never know how they did these things. Whats fascinating is the new LIDAR findings below the pyramids at Giza IIRC. Apparently there are HUGE underground complexes several levels deep with huge chambers underneath and around the pyramids. They were referenced in aniquity by historians in Biblical times and new technology has revealed them to actually exist underground. Hopefully theres a wealth of knowledge buried in them to help us understand how these things were accomplished.
