All these families in trouble, but if we help them then the NCAA bans them from playing football.

Hope everyone can make it to safety.


Seems asinine doesn't it.
Just donate to a general fund that helps anyone in need. Plenty of people need help after something like this.

I know he's not a commit but I saw a tweet by Keondre Coburn asking for help.

And by that I mean asking for how to reach first responders.

Can't donate directly to the recruit so I am pledging $500 to the Salvation Army.

scroll down and expand "Texas Emergency Management Offices" section and go to link for the appropriate county for resources available.

Also can dial 911 if immediate help is needed.

The National Guard is being deployed to our Texas area. If you find yourself in a state of emergency. Call 713-578-3000. Please copy, paste or share!!!!!!!!!

It looks like that will be the case for every game in Houston this weekend. Most school districts in the area have cancelled school and extracurricular activities until after Labor Day.

Would it be against NCAA guidelines to set up a gofundme account for our affected recruits?

Honest question


Follow up... but, possibly...a recruit could set one up for his family. Correct? Montel said everything is ruined. He now has a much bigger family.

Thoughts and prayers for the safety of all. Area's of the gulf coast will take years to recover.

Forget the NCAA and petty rules that do not apply. This is bigger than the NCAA. Set up funds for all those in need. Everyone needs help.

No need to disciminate. Lots of folks all along the Gulf Coast are going to need some help for a long time it looks like.
Red Cross and lots of other organizations that could use funding to help in the recovery effort.
We're still a couple days away from this thing being over.

A recruit like Parker should put his water logged sneakers on eBay and then one of you guys can go bid like $5k to buy them. That's not illegal. It's a loophole. Just sayin. Lol

Thank you for doing that, Corporate citizenship makes such a tremendous difference in times like this.

Just saw a picture of former Aggie Baseball player (and former assistant coach of mine) Andrew Collazo wading through waist high water with his children on a kayak. He says they made it out safe though.

Crazy stuff.

Thank you - trying times for a lot of folks. Many of my friends in Rockport and Refugio are having troubles with places destroyed and no power or water, and no place to go.

My parents live just up the coast from Rockport. Luckily they got out before the hurricane hit and went up to Temple to stay with my uncle. The barns at the ranch are ruined, just the frames left. The real problem is that there is no power. The power line posts are down and they don't know when they will have power and water again.
