re: New OU Board?

I don't think you quite understand that invoking the Shaggy/Surly crowd makes us all show up like Beatlejuice.
I suppose that might improve the property values around here, but we are too busy solving the complexities of how we are going to combat Brent Venables' raw sex appeal, the raging momentum of Mike Elko, Brian Kelly's false positive in recruiting due to pillaging A&M's class, and how we are going to tell the difference between the regular homeless and Kentucky fans next year. By playing 4D chess we have already positioned the Georgia game on F1 weekend years in advance just to piss them off, and this was all on a slow day. Beware the hidden hand of college football. So if you don't mind, I need to get back to the super model lounge.

re: Even if OU,TX, USC,UCLA join Big 10 the SEC would still be the most powerful conference

Since we haven't actually been in the conference yet, and our on field results in the last decade have been the worst in our history, you are correct. But if we are discussing revenue drivers, brands, media, etc. Then it really isn't a discussion.
Once Texas starts seeing success again on the field, then we will be pretty on par with Ohio State in terms of all the metrics that people measure a "big fish" by, and we actually surpassed them in the 2000's.

re: “If you can’t beat them buy them” Leave it to both Texas schools to ruin this great sport

If Texas decided to do the bag game like A&M you guys would be a smoking crater. Let's be real here.

It's not pay for play any more than any other NIL deal is. We are assigning a baseline market value to NIL for a player coming to TX. They can go out and get stuff over and above that on their own. Just because a kid knows that their position group will have a reasonable NIL deal walking in the door doesn't change a ton. Ask BYU how it helped their recruiting this year.

In all seriousness, the methods and ways this is happening are very different.
Jimbo is just going completely unhinged with the bag game and has dropped an eye popping number on recruits this cycle from the handouts of the army of rabid insurance agents in their alumni base. It's almost like he has an impending sense of desperation, or the fact that he has the identical record as Sumlin. Only his platform shoe guy knows for sure.
Texas donors never wanted to get into that world en masse, so NIL is something that they can use to support the program.
More importantly, Ohio State, LSU, Bama, etc. are not going to be able to come in to Texas with impunity and take all of the top players out of the state like they have for the last decade. Personally I like seeing Ohio State get the pimp hand from Texas the most today.
LSU does similar things for the most part with Louisiana kids and is super aggressive about keeping schools out, although I sense that Bryan Kelly may open the borders a bit with his faymily approachability and jettisoning of stud coaches.
