TexAgs pays 2 A&M players $10k each for a 30 minute interview

[LVH]

This is the type of [ Finebaum ] I warned about when all the soapboxxers were tearing their clothes over how evil it is that players can't profit off their likeness

I wonder if the linemen who block for Isaiah Spiller will see any money.

 

[BrewingFrog]

What are the details of this?

I didn't think that such an entity could pay players, even under these new "rules" so recently established.

 

[Paul in uhh]

The language of the Texas law states that you’re required to pay “fair market value“ for services rendered. Is $20,000 an hour fair market value for an interview these days?

TexAgs didn't pay, a real estate company sponsored the interviews

Yeah, it won’t be long until locker room chemistry across the country starts imploding when the guys who aren’t getting paid get sick of the guys who are.

 

[HFrog1999]

Aggie has always paid players. They’re just admitting it here.

Like it or not, TCU is going to need to try to compete unless we’re all OK with just getting two star players like it’s 2003 again

Paging Will Churchill.....


I think we have some players who could sell Cadillacs

What a recruiting tool for the ags. They can tell a recruit all about their deep pockets and that they can meet or top any other offers the recruit gets. Here comes some hilarious bidding wars. But the ags can now show some hard proof.

They all will get something. Maybe game day performance bonuses. With our alumni size, I kind of doubt we able to match bribes with the ags, the cows and a host of others. The next step is to eliminate the stupid eligibility rules in regards to number of years a player can play. We already have free agency. A whole bunch of good players don't make it in the bigs.

Well, that's the way it works as I understand it. Car dealer pays college player to do wat? A commercial? Interview? Go on a date? Hell, IDK, but this was tailor made for aggy and OU.

I guess no more probation. Giving kids money is now de rigueur.

players have been getting benefits for about as long as people have kept score and and paid attention to wins and losses

the difference now from what i can tell is business is being handled above the table instead of under it, but it is nothing new. heck, we know that don't we
