Re: Football Only NIL Collective
I know Dee Jones has quite a bit of money and has supported athletics quite a bit in the past. I'm sure he's also got quite an extensive network of Aggie booster friends. Those are important things to ensure a collective works. I'm also far less than impressed at how this collective has rolled out t...

Re: NIL and Jersey Sales
Pretty sure you aren't allowed to mix school and player when it comes to NIL. So you could either have a player name and number on a non-school jersey, or a generic jersey number with no player name on a school jersey.

Re: Blake Anderson Interview
He told it how it is. NIL is just a will wild west fiasco right now that is not going to get any better. Nice to hear him talk about the offense needing to change and utilize other parts of the field. I have some optimism that he is going to be able to put an effective offense on the field this fal...

Re: Has Bovee Raised That $20 Million Yet?
Call me a stickler, but renewing a contract that would have been renewed irrespective of who is acting as our AD and is hard to consider a “donation” based on what the arrangement entails doesn’t really count in my eyes.

Re: Home and Home with UTEP

Re: Home and Home with UTEP
The home game occurs in the year we go to TAMU and James Madison, which was needed. I assume we will add an FCS team as well.
The away game occurs in the year we host Oregon. Good balance to that schedule now too.

Re: So what are we calling our NIL collective?
We could easily start a collective and start generating returns for our players. The question is if we have the right group of guys with the proper combination of time, skills, and desire to do it.

I think this means she is probably worn out and ready to do something else. The usual term for a university president, nationally, is about 7 years. Some go longer and some less.
