Probably have a pretty good chance. Our new receiver coach was his coach last year. 

Or Texas is like Wisconsin was for Caleb Williams.

Another school in the race that's not really a race to distract from USC's tampering.

Plus, he would be catching balls thrown by Ewers and possibly Manning. Nor could he be double covered as much with the talent we have at receiver.

Pretty sure that there is pretty much zero chance that Addison would ever catch a ball thrown by Manning even if both came to Texas.

That's interesting, but I wouldn't think a loan deal could compete against a regular compensation arrangement. 

One interesting twist would be if the loan was forgiven unless they transfer,  but I would guess that would be against the rules.

Just sent you a PM

Not disagreeing...and I see you typed "IMO", but based on what?  Has anyone received an update on their development as OL?

More-so based on our OLs performance last year and complete lack of depth.  Not much else.

TFB posted a lengthy article today about NIL. Apparently, many of the NIL deals you're hearing about aren't actually pay for play. They are loans. Loans that will tally interest. Loans that will have to be paid back.

These loans will have to be paid back regardless of the athlete transferring, getting injured, etc. The idea is that they get to the NFL and can then afford to pay the loan back. Of course, thats not going to happen for everyone involved.

So this is even worse than we thought. Yes, many NIL deals are what they are supposed to be (namely what Texas has done so far). But others are simply loans given solely for the purpose of drawing the athlete to come to that school/team. I'll let you figure out who is doing that and who isn't. But it seems rather obvious.

This sounds like a way to take advantage of naive 18 year olds

Thats the first thing that popped into my mind. The student loan crisis apparently hasn't taught anyone anything.

IT saying Land's transcript wasn't great.

 

[Eastexhorn]

Translation they uped my NIL.

Or "oh chit, I better go back"

2 thoughts:

1. Can't wait for this to get floated by the retarded progressives in  Congress. 

2.  Is this to bypass the IRS for those states that have state  income tax as well as the federal tax from the IRS and brings the money laundering/bookies/ fraud/etc into account causing the FBI to investigate multiple schools. Just we just had with the basketball scandal and the administration scandal, which has hit multiple schools including Texas and USC and others.

I’ll assume there is more to this than a a straight up “loan” because I’m fairly certain you could legally get a loan before the NIL came about.

You couldn’t get a loan from anyone affiliated with the university.

So if it's a constitutional thing, what makes you think it can be limited or controlled in some way? I think Jerry Jones won a few lawsuits regarding this. The NFL tried to control his income, as they always had pre-Jones. He said get your hands out of my pocket. And he won.

Guiderails won't solve the more obvious issues here. At least not legally.

Pandora's box has been opened.

I don't think endorsement deals will be able to be controlled or limited. 

I do think the NCAA can adjust transfer rules which has created this "free agency" like period we just witnessed. I also think cracking down on the tampering and de facto pay for play deals could help. 

It is really complicated because in no other setting do we see fans and boosters essentially adding multiple millions to star players salaries in exchange for picking their team.

Yes, some folks can get a 100-150K loan. But most folks cannot, including your lower income kids. Which is why this is such a thing.

Plus, you could never dream of getting the same terms on the loan thats being offered to these kids. "Pay me when you get to the NFL" does not compute to the average banker.

If these are loans, this is a disaster for these players. What's the benefit for them, other than basically getting an advanced pay check? So much risk if their careers don't pan out like assumed. 

I have been perplexed by these rich boosters just throwing money away basically. The rich get richer by investing into products with a ROI (or at least a tax deduction). The loan angle would make more sense if they are ending up profiting.

Spoke to my friend today. Our talk was short but I did manage one question: How legit is our chance with Addison?"

Friend got kinda snappy with me, it seemed like the question pissed him off. He said don't buy into this. He thinks Addison is doing this dog and pony show to protect Riley, because he'll eventually land at USC.

Pitt has already made several accusations against Riley regarding tampering with this particular student athlete. But to just go directly to USC would have been too obvious. Pitt may still have a case anyway.

But think about it. This has been going on behind the scenes for years and years. Now, its out in the open and yeah, it's jaw dropping. The loan thing is new, but seems effective by putting a large bag of cash on the table, enticing the player.

Its amazing to me how boosters are willing to spend 100K just to add one player to a team, even if they do get it back. 

But yeah, its a potential disaster, if not a probable disaster. Something's gotta give.

We don't need Addison. The WR room is already top heavy. Besides, with the tampering allegations flying, it's best to fly low on this one.
