We got that cash.


Having that cash, spending it, and getting jack squat from it seems like a waste but I'm glad y'all are getting some retail therapy out there.

Lol. Aston Martin. Already making dumb financial decisions.

It's probably a free lease. He isn't responsible for the payments or maintenance. He'll also have to give it back the minute he's no longer the QB at Texas.

NIL completely fricked schools like Ole Miss, who relied on paying players illegally. Now that it’s legal, they can’t keep up.

you'd know about that lol. lmao even.

College sports are now just professional athletes. UK basketball players all drive exotic cars given to them. Same with every school.

College sports are basically dead now from a standpoint of amateurism.

None of them actually own those cars, either. Short-term leases written off as marketing expenses under NIL.



What are the dealerships getting in return? I understand that its all about paying for better athletes to be at the program of your choice but at some point a pile of folks who are forking over the cash and the perks are going to start demanding more than just a good football program, or a better program. I know there are jock sniffers in the world and having a heisman candidate at your Daughter's 16th birthday would thrill some folks but will the heisman candidate be thrilled about it??? I bet the money levels off pretty quickly as folks get a snoot full of the jocks they have dreamed of sniffing and find out they smell as expected...unless you are moving Dr. Pepper why would Dr. Pepper pay you???

There is a reason Saban went to Congress to testify against and cry about NIL. He relied on being one of a handful of schools that dropped big bags.

I think you're mistaking us for A&M.
