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

[CountryFrog]

Can I give Zach Evans the fair market value of $20k/week to walk my dog?

what are you going to pay him to make pumpkin pancakes for you every morning?

$1k per day?

 

[Mean Purple]

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.

Don't know, but guessing Johnny Crackhead is really pissed about this.

Do not give @LVH any ideas...

no worries. He's too busy hitting trucks.

Would still be illegal by the TX law (and I assume many others). No gambling, alcohol, tobacco, weapons endorsements.

am I the only one who wishes they would bring back the Marborro man on tv. Him and the Norelco Santa.
Think about it, [ Finebaum ] has been pretty scheissed up since they cut those two out.

So the Aggies are getting $10K now. Why the paycut?

because trans ams are the thing of the past.

I listened to an interview with Billy Liucci on Houston sports radio about this arrangement. This is just a one time deal for the SEC media days and he’s going to strike another deal w 4 players during the season (2 offense, 2 defense) for weekly 30 min interviews where he will interview 1 offensive and 1 defensive player for TexAgs. They’re going to rotate each week. They also hired away David Nuno from ABC Houston just to be their lead sports guy now.
He was saying it’s going to get crazy when players start getting exclusive interview deals for big radio stations or news outlets.

get the popcorn ready. no way one of those kids does not say something unwise.

ha.
odd part his, with LVH, it was the other way around, as I recall his telling of the crosswalk event.

This also reminds me of my favorite scene in meet joe black.

Ever read about him?

he was the horse “manager” for the commercial shoot and the producer said the actors all looked like beach boys so he hired him for the commercial on site

To heck with the Marlboro man, we need more Edie Adams and Muriel Cigars.

I'm a little ill. I mean, good for that young man. But the game is irrevocably changed.

I mean. Outside of a few highly contested five stars who were going to bama, buckholes, and the like anyways it really doesn’t seem like a market our alumni and boosters can’t afford.

we’re not trying to get all five stars just keeping access to the 3’s and 4’s we currently access. And when we’re winning our tv ratings are good enough to earn a few big players some competitive scratch.

think of the money Boykin could’ve made mid season after that Dana h high five as he was always on sports center, and the follow up bail bonds sponsorship after the Alamo. Coulda killed it!

jokes aside we will be fine as long as we actually participate in the market.

This was the inevitable result of the NIL. It will undoubtedly set off another college football arms race and further separate the haves and have-nots.

I dropped my season tickets this year and I'll probably be dropping interest in college football soon. Don't get me wrong, I'm ok with players getting paid something, but college football is likely to turn into another version of MLB with its competitive imbalance and I don't really care to watch that happen.
