not a surprise at al with limited usage we did with him over the past 2 yearsl. maybe dykes will see if he wants to stay, maybe he is wanting to see where he might go.
There has
There has to be some competitive balance rules put in place at some point, or rules that greatly reduces player movement. This is borderline insanity, and it’s only gonna get worse. How do coaches even build programs anymore?
This sort of structure has never been tried before in team sports history, as far as I know.
The new school would just pay the penalty if the player was good enough.Yeah, it’s going to be chaos.
I’ll be interested to see if some of the NIL contracts require players to stay at a school for a certain number of seasons or risk financial penalties

Gary is lucky. He made good money plus a big buyout and got out at just the right time for him. All the coaching search and coach shuffling is interesting but you have to wonder if head coaching salaries will continue on an upward trajectory should it become obvious that NIL management is at least equal to coaching in terms of results.Not going to lie, with this new era in college sports, sometimes I feel like I too should pull a Gary and step down. This is Gen-Z football, you don't play to become a better person, you play to get multiple figures.
There's no keeping up with this stuff. It's like a giant illusion. Your aristocrat programs with money to burn do just enough to make you feel like you can get in to the play offs, but really they just need meat sacks to beat up on their way to the CFP.
I tend to be more of a settler than pioneer, so I look at this all like Charleston Heston seeing a destroyed statue of liberty.
NIL money isn’t the issue, or is a very small part of it. It’s the free agency.
- NCAA rules and Texas legislation DO NOTpermit student-athletes to:
- Receive compensation in exchange for athletic performance or attendance at an institution;
I was referring specifically to the $NIL being tied to performance/attendance.NIL money isn’t the issue, or is a very small part of it. It’s the free agency.

Very doubtfulAre we interested?

You only get one transfer opportunity then you have to sit. We are about to see it work for us.NIL money isn’t the issue, or is a very small part of it. It’s the free agency.
The biggest challenge for coaches going forward isn't going to have to do with x's and o's, schemes, or game management.....it'll be doing whatever they can to keep the team culture from completely coming off the rails. 85 kids on their phones all the time, twitter, instagram, all wanting to play and probably thinking they are much better than they are, chasing NIL deals, being courted by other teams, etc etc. Good luck with all that.Gary is lucky.

Right. So every high school kid we recruit we're just borrowing until they decide they want to go somewhere else.You only get one transfer opportunity then you have to sit. We are about to see it work for us.

To that point, I probably saw more games this season where teams had more give up and quit in them than I have the last 10 years combined. Not just TCU. Actually, you'd hardly even consider something like that before, but I think we'll see it more and more.....second half of the season games that are basically a complete joke.
right, not a bad kid, but a kid indeed.I’m not sure the team leader thing wasn’t a bit of an act. I’d be willing to bet he was way more of a distraction than people want to believe. And I’m not trying to say he’s a bad kid, I don’t think that at all.
One would think that, with that pedigree, Donati would be out in front, leading the pack with this Brave New World we have spreading out before us. It wasn't but a few weeks ago that Shannon on the Podcast was lamenting that TCU didn't have anything set up to deal with NIL, and that he and some other ex-players were trying to arrange something to get such funding flowing.Like I posted abv, the "new" thing is "agents" for "just" NIL, like Donati's former boss (not a shot at him), Leigh Steinberg. He represents Rattler, who just entered the portal.
