This is still very much a rumor.  Zero confirmation and the guy who "broke" it lost his UT insider connections the day Mack Brown left campus.

But still, it's entirely possible.  This is one of the directions that NIL was bound to lead us.

Texas should want to turn it into an arms race. They've got more money than anybody. A lot more of it.

Oh yeah, it is underway.  I'm just not sure I believe we're going to see the Texas boosters funnel millions to one player just yet, which is what is implied. 

The actual idea behind all of the moves in Austin, is to effectively endow NIL endorsement money for every player of the football team, and then eventually for every athlete in every sport, at UT.  The goal is $350M to fully fund it.  The estimates are 3-5 years.

So I'm not sure I believe that anyone is ready to show out with several million for just one player, just yet.

Although it's certainly possible, we do have a lot of really wealthy boosters who like to throw their money around.

i don't blame the kid at all, and i don't really blame texas either. if ya got it, flaunt it.

but if this ends up being close to true, it's bad news for everyone. we've got to figure out a way to keep it from becoming an arms race, and that's likely too late.

The arms race began a long time ago, it was just limited to those willing to have bagmen pay the players under the table.

Now at least, the money will be above the table and there's no moral or ethical reason for the boosters of schools not to engage.

I want every player with lots of NIL $$$ and no production yet to fail.

I suspect things will settle down over the next few years.  Boosters will realize they're not getting the return they wanted or expected, players will realize that accepting that money is going to come with some strings they might not want to have pulled.
