That recruits are only coming to A&M because of NIL money.

Which logically means one of two things(or both)

Little ol' A&M has more money than the big, bad sips.

The sips are clueless about how to set up and use NIL.

Almost forgot "redneck accounting.

So maybe three things.

You were Texas.

May I suggest their new school song:
A Mass Delusion Is Upon You, sung to the tune of the Eyes of Texas with lyrics reflecting their hatred of the 2nd amendment and obsession with human genitalia?

Ha! Good thing A&M is the only place allowed to offer NIL.

They're already being left behind and if that's their explanation then it sounds like they're ok with it. We are to I suspect.

What about all the other schools that are out-recruiting them?

I thought they said they were going to dominate the whole country with their NIL plan?

"Aggies are cheating" is their fall back excuse.

Except it's not cheating. They just suck.

They will soon be claiming they are burnt orange Baylor.

They lack any self awareness at all.

Poor sip! It's just so hard being the most moral, ethical and academically rigorous football program in the country!

LOL but real talk, they HATE the new NIL environment because it destroys one of their historically most powerful advantages: a compliant media that would cover for their paying of players (or any other recruiting infractions) while investigating and reporting anyone else doing likewise

Now A&M can just put the same (or bigger) giant sack of money on top of the recruits table and they can't do anything to stop us

I don't even care if they are right as long as these guys suit up and ball out for A&M.

Looks like they have finally just said screw it, we'll just pay guys.

Horns with Heart, a nonprofit charity organization based in Austin, will provide every Texas offensive linemen on scholarship with $50,000 annually as part of a new NIL program. This is the latest in a series of launches by Longhorns boosters and supporters in hopes of helping with recruiting and bringing more names towards the program.

The program is set to be named The Pancake Factory, in large part due to blocks set by offensive linemen when trying to open running lanes. It will be the first of its kind, supporting just one football position group for players to participate in charitable endeavors.

Didn't Reggie Bush petition for his Heisman to be reinstated for the same reason?

At least when recruits come here, they don't have to worry about playing kansas

Since it's illegal to pay recruits NIL money in Texas, tu media is either stooping to lying to recruit to try to trick a few good ones to come to the dumpster fire or they are breaking the law by repeatedly advertising to recruits that they'll pay them money to come. Desperation is a stinky cologne.
