Lots of colleges with competitive wallets. UT, A&M, Baylor, TCU, SMU, UH, OU not too far away and more...

WTF are you comin up with the idea that $25 Million is a puny amount of NIL for 1 damn team???

Is there an actual point? Or are you just rambling? Obviously no one team has more NIL money than 10 teams combined but that’s not how any of this works. The majority of players only get a couple hundred thousand dollars and the top end get a couple million a year all of the schools being mentioned can afford that. But a NIL budget of $25 million plus the revenue share is comparable 1 to 1 with the majority of schools in the country let alone the schools that heavily recruit Texas.

When TX and OU joined the SEC, I said it would happen and got downvoted to oblivion. Many tried to argue with me, but I am surprised that LSU didn’t get one.
Also, NIL has changed the game and we have to hold off other deep pockets from raiding the state. Texas Tech, Ohio State, Oregon, Texas, Texas A&M, and even SMU are all bidding against each other for the top ones in the state and they have very deep pockets. I know LSU has become a bigger fish in NIL, but you still can’t spend like a drunken sailor.
In addition, I believe you can blame some of it on BK. Seems he gave up quickly on some of those guys and just moved on

NIL made this cycle of recruiting in TX crazy. UT with only 4 of the top 25. OU with 0 top 10, and 2 of the top 25. TAMU 1 from the top 25. From the top 25: Houston - 3, TT - 3 USC - 2 Oregon - 2 And then you have the Gators
2026 was a bad class in Texas
26 of 44 top recruits (60%) were WR, RB, QB. We all know how overrated players from those positions can be.
Texas Tech, Oregon, USC, Michigan and SMU really paid a high price for every top player they signed. Not worth it on several of those players
A&M got the best RB, the two best LB’s, and the best safety. We wanted our top 3 WR’s which were Legend Bey (Tenn/OSU), Boobie Feaster (USC) and Jayden Warren (A&M) but only signed one.
Legend Bey was the last straw. Too many bags thrown out for DFW guys that weren’t worth it. The reports are Tennessee paid his brother and mother NIL to get him. Insane to hold a kid hostage like that to force him to come to your school. Bad way to build a team…..so we went out of state for everything else
2027 is a much better year for Texas recruiting. We’re hitting it hard and early and already have most of the guys we want lined up. Texas Tech as well.
