Money....more NIL than anyone in the game. And they are playing in CFP 'now' and selling 'we are there, no build up and look at recruits coming'.

It's an easy sell if all things are trending for your program.

Be a good team on an upward trend mixed with NIL

It doesn't show in the Big 12, but it will be apparent in the SEC.

You only have to do 2 things to succeed in college football. But you have to do both.

1) WIN
2) Write Checks.

Historically TAMU does 1 of these things.

They're also able to sell an upward trajectory and playoff season to their boosters which allows them to buy(NIL) better players. Hopefully Elko generates some excitement in season one.

Which will probably only be the case for this year before they take the tougher conference road next year

But that may be enough for awhile

Given where we were the last two years, I would hope we could sell an upward projectory!

Yeah the BMAs were getting the worst NIL ROI under Jimbo in the country. One of the many reasons he had to be fired

One player is from the Austin area. And I think the other wanted to stay in the SA-ATX region.


But they really responded well after seeing us land the #1 class. Helps to win games too

Sadly the sips are coming to the sec strong. While we are in free fall.

Cheating. It's their MO.

Their AD didn't run around soaking donors for unnecessary capital projects, so they have more money for NIL.

The big one for them to land would be Juice Wells. Adding that to the running back haul they have and Ewers, Cook, etc would make their offense elite. I thin they will struggle on defense next year if they don't add a DT and an LB.

I'm sure their donations are ramping up just like ours did when Johnny was on a tear. We piddled around and wasted all that momentum.

We have been in the SEC 12 fricking years and don't have a damn thing to show for it .
The sips could win it all this year and be pre-season #1 next year heading into the SEC .
The timing could not be any worse for us .
I'm not expecting miracles from Elko in Year 1 but the first thing he needs to do is to limit the Portal losses or we will be in deep doodoo in year 1 .

I honestly wouldn't want to see the portal being used excessively heavily. Getting big names is fun and all, but it should be a polishing tool, not something you use to build your core around. Your team delivers inconsistent, volatile results that way. Saban got it right: he gets one, two, or three guys who can really ball each year and puts them in places of need... and that's it. Saban doesn't technically tear up the portal but he gets true impact by being selective.

Also calm tf down, Elko has literally been on the job barely a week, give him time to get going. He doesn't even have a full staff in place.

one advantage of using the portal...

it helps a program roll out a veteran team each year

see Ole Miss and State and all their 22 & 23 year-old players

trotting out 18 & 19-year olds is a tough way to do business against older teams
one safe place
How long do you want to ignore this user?
There program is on the ascent while ours is not. They have a more stable environment right now, we are still trying to put together a coaching staff. They made the playoffs, we were not even close. With the expanded playoffs, they will likely be in the hunt again next year while we likely won't. Even if NIL money is equal, many will choose them over us.

You don't have to tamper when you are winning. You don't have to do anything, the recruits just kind of float in on the wind wanting to play at your program. Just have to make sure you got enough NIL money.

They lose a ton of talent next year. All 3 WRs, TE, both DTs, best LB, and 1/2 the secondary. They're going to take a step back regardless of which league they are in. Ewers coming back is huge for them, but they still need to replace a lot. With a road game against Mich. 8-4 seems about right. Don't see much of a chance to make even an expanded playoff. Pre season #1 is laughable.
