The NIL discussion was interesting.
It's fascinating hearing the people who supported players getting paid, now saying, 'HOW DID WE GET TO THIS POINT SO QUICKLY!?!?'' What the heck did you think would happen in an auction-type system? Everyone is making their best bid for talent. It was extremely obvious this would happen.
Jub said he was ok with players getting 10,000 or even a hundred thousand, 'but millions??'. Why is one worse than the other?
I hated the idea of NIL before it existed, and hate it now (in it's current form). But...if it's going to be legal, dont blame the programs like A&M or the conferences like the SEC, who are doing it the best. All you can do is operate better than others, within the rules. And that's what we're doing.
You have to take their biases into account to understand their "thinking".
Does this help OU and Texas? Yes = good
Does this hurt OU and Texas? Yes = bad
