That's going to be useful in recruiting Texas country boys. Also probably wouldn't withstand a court challenge.
Does Texas allow guns on campus? most schools dont, so wouldnt this comply with the typical

A&M does. We're Texans, though.

I'm pretty sure we're a concealed carry campus

Players will attend all of their classes and sit in the front two rows of all of their classes. GAs, academic folks, position coaches will be checking constantly now.
No headphones in class. No texting in class. Sit up and take notes.
If a player misses a class, he runs until it hurts. If he misses two classes, his entire position unit runs. If he misses three, the position coach runs. The position coaches don't want to run.
Respect for this.

While they managed to pass a law last month allowing those with concealed handgun licenses to transport and store their licensed handgun in their vehicle on campus, students and employees are otherwise forbidden from bringing handguns on campus.

Oops. Now I know.

Much like at Alabama
Except for the fact that Bama players do wear ear rings in the football complex, aren't required to sit in the first 2 rows in class, aren't prohibited from having their phone in class, etc.
Alabama is strict, yes, but they still allow some freedoms for their players. That is why Bama recruits so well. They've got enough discipline to please the parents and enough freedom to get the kids excited.
Texas needs some middle ground. What's next? No hats in buildings?

No CNS does NOT allow earrings in the football complex at any time.

Well yeah, but Alabama's coach came to Alabama with a championship ring on to prove his system worked.

But what's the rule on this? can they force players to live on campus? I know they are not allowed to have exclusive athletic dorms anymore.
I have the same question.

Good for Strong. This is exactly what these thugs need in there life.
Sumlin should follow suit if he ever wants Azz to Mouth to finish better than 3rd in the West

The University will buy out the leases for every player currently living off campus and put them in the athletic dorm.

Is this an NCAA violation?
Texas has enough $$ to buyout the leases for every student that is currently living off campus. As long as they offer the same benefit to every UT student, then the NCAA might be ok with it, I guess?

Those new dorms we built by the Athletic Complex were built to room 49% athletes and 51% regular students. So technically it's not an athletic dorm. Most of our athletes stay in that dorm.
Very nice - granite counter tops/flat screens/hardwood floors/roomy floor plan. They are very nice and +/- $5500 per semester.

I love this because it will help A&M recruiting immensely.
The lone trump card that UT had left in the recruiting game was selling guys on living the good life in Austin. Now Charlie is taking away the off-campus boondoggle (in case you aren't aware of this - players typically go in on a super cheap place to live (often booster-provided at a mega-low price) and then pocket the leftover living stipend money - Charlie is taking away their spending money with this move) and promising dorm living and Stalinist big-brother experience.
Now Sumlin gets to sell freedom and the off-campus living stipend boondoggle and doesn't have to contend with Mack selling guys the Austin Experience anymore. This is like Christmas. Thanks, Charlie!

Yeah, that's what people said about the Ed O'bannon deal a few years ago too.
Let him yank some Texas country kid's scholly for showing off his rifle collection and see how long it takes for daddy's lawyer to have a conversation about government infringement on constitutionally protected rights.
The campus may be state funded, but it's still private property. They can institute rules regarding speech and gun control as they please.
