He 100% has ALWAYS had it figured out- He’s just become an old man shouting at clouds now because he no longer 100% controls all the levers the way he once did. It’s not so easy to outspend the competition for the best talent, when it’s all out in the open.
I told my SEC friends years ago, if paying players is legal, the Texas oil money will crush the southeast. UT and A&M alums have old SWC PTSD from cheating. The SEC turned cheating to a high art in the 1990’s and early 2000’s. Now all those tricks mean nothing.
No more winks, Trans Am’s and $100 handshakes, this is all $’s and oil money cannot be beat by most SEC schools and it will get worse for them as we go forwar. The old SEC will get not be able to keep up, year in, year out, as the Texas wellls keep pumping.
