Roach was saying a couple hours before Stewart committed that his sources at Texas had him wanting to wait until ESD before committing. A couple hours later Stewart is an Ag. That Roach is putting non positive Texas news out there is a big deal if you follow recruiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I was just using him to post that even Texas mods are denying whatever rumor he saw on a Texas site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, he posts what he thinks he knows, but Roach has been wrong quite a bit this year. I don’t pay for 247, but a lot of the posters there are ticked they aren’t “getting what they’re paying for”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was wrong on Stewart commitment time line. He said ESD, Stewart committed shortly after that statement. Lots of these guys get played so they can give out bad information. A few years back Taylor Hamm was the guy, this year it must be Roach’s turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I’m not sure what Texas is doing in general is really what the rule what meant for anyways. They are not letting the market pay kids for their likeness. They are just paying kids to be in a Texas jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The market is what Texas says it is. Maybe in Arkansas an OL is only worth $10k but at Texas, the most profitable and recognizable college program, an OL is worth $50K. Texas was never going to go about NIL in shady ways. That’s the reason they took so long to get their NIL deals in order. This was all carefully vetted and done with Texas law in mind. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not mad at Texas. It’s the NCAA’s fault. Instead of accepting reality and adjusting they just kept punting to the courts and now they unleashed something that really doesn’t have any boundaries. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet he was paid a large part of it for getting to campus Oh I know he got some of it, but he didnt get it all. And I agree, not worth skipping your senior year for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well take advantage of it u til something g is done about it. now all a bag man has to do is donate the money with an earmark for the particular player they want signed.

ETXfan16 Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 People are mad that Texas is paying players loads of money, well within the state laws and NIL guidelines, but nobody wants to say anything about players being slipped tons of money under the table for the past 40+ years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made this argument from the beginning. Very little of any of this has anything to do with a players name or image. That's simply the work around to go from paying kids under the table, to now doing it in broad daylight, legally. You really think anyone had made money off Quinn Ewers's name when he was given $1M at Ohio State? Nope. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
