Is their Walton money behind Arkansas' collective though? If there were, they should be easily the #1 collective in the nation. My bet is there is zero Walton money there.

No. There isn't much Tyson or Walmart money behind the athletics, it's all academic money. John Tyson ponying up for Calipari was a break from the norm.

Read where Jerry and Micah had a meeting and agreed to terms on his extension. Going be highest paid player other than the QB's . I say it's 5 years/ $220 million and $160 million guaranteed...

Where's Jerry gonna get the money if he's paying Arkansas legal fees?

I am pretty sure the Walton family contributes in some fashion, but like Pilot is to UT, Wal-Mart and Tyson contribute to Arkansas itself. Memphis has FedEx and Fred Smith, and they can be competitive, but just one contributor usually isn't enough. Ruiz at Miami and maybe speculation about a billionaire at Texas Tech are examples, but the Walton's contribute to many causes.

The Hunt family (J.B. Hunt) started a non-profit for NIL opportunities at Arkansas as well.

They both paid for the sponsorship on the field like we did with Pilot.

We are 4-6 against them in the last 10 outings in football.

Money is no problem for Jerry Jones but spending it is...

That was part of the deal to get Calipari. We'll give you money to make it happen here's what we want in return. I haven't heard of any NIL money involving them.

Haven’t beaten them since 2007. 1-5 in the last 6.

Yup

My question on this is the NIL money paid up front or paid monthly?

If paid monthly, fine - stop paying.

If paid up front or if you have paid for services not yet rendered then by all means claw back some of the money.

Under the contract, I beleive the athlete should get paid for whatever they committed to and completed. Nothing less, nothing more.

It is my understanding these guys are largely getting huge weekly or monthly checks that have 0 taxes or anything else taken out on them. They are truly contract w9 employees. Like the contract oil rig guy that shows up in BFE Texas with a stipend. Now my guess with Madden is he probably got a signing bonus and once that cleared he bounced. Also for Nico Spyre supposedly owned his future NIL rights. Now I really doubt we have any intention to fight that because that could get ugly in the court of public opinion and he'd argue we don't and didn't have his true or max value aligned as part of our true interests.

All this to say they do cut the checks off, but part of that is seed money that AR would say was genuinely violated by not even participating in the case of Madden. Nico probably spilled milk not worth cleaning up. The Tyler Barrons's of the world though are truly just yanking checks between stops (Ole miss, KY, MI) as part of a grift until they make their final stops.

I am curious about the legality of it, though. It seems like every case a player has filed against the NCAA has gone in their favor. Now that I think about it, though, is the NCAA who they would sue? Or a university? Hell, now I am confused LOL

From a legal standpoint, those players that sign an NIL owe collectives whatever they signed up to do. It will eventually land someone in very hot water when a collective pursues it. It's just bound to happen.

Reverse the records of their football and baseball teams and see what happens. They do have great baseball support, though.

And this is an UGA guy

Take notice negavols

That film study was in-depth and quality actually. Go watch

 

[Vols4us]

23...





minutes...




of misses.

Equal to about 100 points.

Yup, along with hitting more of the long opens up the intermediate and short. So make it 150 pts.

The performance of HH in this O is the standard on which all other QB’s should be measured.

Haha...actions have consequences. The family is going to cost one son because another son wanted more. People have to think these things out.

Brooks is occasionally biased, because he covers UGA, but is genuinely the best college guy at breaking down play and play calling. He calls a spade a spade generally. He has a man crush on Sarkisian. So take his Texas breakdowns at a lower volume, but again, honest dude. Played ball - knows ball - teaches ball and if I understand even does sports photography. Talented guy.

And they are both going to end up significantly less. Lol! They deserve it. Grass ain’t always greener.
