They're way ahead of us
It's basically the same thing that surlyhorns is running but with the amazing exception of Looch stealing 25% off the top. But good on Looch for doing this one though (and stealing from the fan base...love that). It's how most imagine NIL should work to some extent.
What I find hilarious is that this is the first and only NIL deal that the ags have publicized, yet we are to believe some super duper secret alums have created numerous shadow LLC's to pay/induce recruits, not yet on campus, for this year's class? GTFO.
Call it what it is. This year was dropping bags. The above is their first foray into legitimate NIL dealings. Congrats I guess.

They are budgeting a portion of the money for gear and production costs. Texags has a legit studio and they crank out some pretty high quality content. I seriously doubt they use this as a major profit center as it would be bad business for them but content and gear is how you get people to keep paying in, folks still want something tangible for their money.
A&M and Texas both can raise and spend obscene amounts of money in a hurry, both have over 500k living alumni and a high average salary for grads. I fully expect both fanbases to come up with a variety of schemes to pay players in all kinds of creative ways.

The joy of reading this while knowing there’s absolutely nothing your apathetic and flaccid (yes) fan base can do but cry about it.
I don’t know. Maybe don’t hire someone like fricking Steve Sarkisian?
Maybe don’t lose to Kansas at home while Harold Perkins laughs in your face?
$4 million for a fourth string QB lol.
$150k a year to each kid who helps perpetuate your rich tradition of shitty OL play.
We’re Texas.

Yeah, I find it very strange that A&M pulled in the greatest recruiting class of all time because of NIL, yet we haven't heard of hardly any NIL sponsors. Not even fake charities like we run.
Makes me very dubious that all of this is actually above water, especially with how much they simultaneously brag about and downplay NIL. Their recruits might be telling the truth when they say NIL didn't make a big impact...because it's not NIL.
This Texas school of preaching gig they lined up for Dindy's dad is some kind of scam, 100%.
Never seen an Ag even attempt to address this nonsense.
