I am not privy to those discussions but assumed OU NIL benefited substantially from his estate.
But even then, his resources are likely a magnitude lower than even someone like Headington (much less Hamm, Kaiser, the HL family). Thank you Loves though.
Is the BYU $ primarily tied to Ryan Smith? Crazy amounts of money.
Would be interesting to see if the ongoing market volatility slows some of this down at all. Imagine it’s pretty inelastic since the wealth involved is just so massive but could see a sentiment hit.
Very dynamic situation but the clearinghouse is already facing legal challenges, months before it goes into effect.
They’re not “just going to sue,” people are already setting up the landscape to invalidate it.
I admit administrators have paid attention more to this than me but seems...
I agree on also thinking it’s very very likely that the clearing house will fail. The optics are awful and the larger schools in the rev sports have a vested interest in ignoring it, but I guess no certainty.
Fans I can understand banking on it (although I don’t see it working out) but...
Yeah, to me Alabama is a better comp for what OU could be doing in this era. Similar sized student base & priorities. Football focus but new arena/channeling the FB enthusiasm to their secondary sports & the academic community.
Football at UF is king for sure but they’ve had far more success...
Insufferableness is all subjective. He just won a championship so can’t fault enthusiasm.
But seems like the guy who would find himself under Title IX investigation based on a thirty second sound clip.
Lol, I can admire people who admit shitty takes on the message board. God knows a few other posters would learn that as opposed to their normal huffing & puffing.
UF making a run, sad to see.
