Great job compiling all of this information and presenting it in a readable format! Thank you sir. We'll be light as he'll at LB next year too. I wonder if a few DBs or WRs will be converted.

So, we need to start paying to get recruits? I don't understand how no one in the media talks about this. Even on the local call in shows. I almost called in today to bring it up and hear their reaction.

I'm not seeing it, but I hope you're right.

Wow, no wonder it took an extra day and a half!

If I had Pelini as a head coach I'd have the red ass too.

Please no!

We're Texas, and we just can't see anyone leaving here for a similar job. ;)

Details are being reported by Mike Finger from the SA Express News. There are bonuses for academic performance also: "$25K for 2.9 GPA, $50K for 3.0, $75K for 3.1, $75k for APR in top 10 percentile." Also, this: "If Strong is fired without cause before the deal expires, UT still owes him...

CFT is reporting that Strong's deal has been approved: http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/01/13/texas-regents-approve-strongs-five-year-26-million-deal/ Interesting part on possible bonuses: "Strong can earn $100,000 for winning coach of the year, $100,000 per Big 12 championship...

Should be a 5 star. Surely he gets an extra star from his name alone.

Are you hearing anything on Chad Morris coming here? I know it'd be difficult with his buyout. Most likely would only happen if we had a 3 year commitment from him to stay as our OC.

My likey! Now it is just a matter of how high we shoot for our first choice. Sure hope we hear something definitive by this weekend. Thanks McP.

I think it's probably going to happen. I mean, Texas Barnes? WTH does that even mean? His last name isn't a very good adjective so he must go! ;)

This isn't anything new. There has been smoke for quite some time. Seems to have picked up since their move to the $EC.

I pretty much assumed paying was at least part of the their MO after the RS-J thing. It was almost as blatant as the Cam Newton story. But I'm glad that more is coming to light.

Yeah! WTH?! :P I guess one sign of success on a site like this is when people start bitching about your posts not coming out on time!

It'd be nice to read it. Why does it take an hour and a half to post it?

Travesty. Of course, if he'd have played on a team anywhere on the east coast he'd have made it on the first ballot. Just another reason why baseball blows. They don't get it.

So you build 4 into the logo with only four laces shown. Should keep everyone quiet about expanding the playoffs then, right?

I think keeping Suddes is a good move. At least in some sort of fashion for a year just to help the transition. I mean, we have the money, might as well have several of these type of guys stay on if it helps recruiting.
