An example of how they're using this in recruiting:

I love the nickname “seatbelt”. That’s awesome!

I don't like this at all, but...to keep up, one has to adapt. UA has.

Hope this works. Got to stay within the taillights of the Oil money folks. Hopefully neither Texas nor A&M can manage their rosters going forward.

It is good to have programs manage NIL crap...
Rather than wolves doing it

I guess in a sense its money redirected from Big Boosters that would normally go into the facility funds but now has to hit the players wallets 1st then to upgrading facilities. JMO but the schools that are struggling to keep pace (not really SEC schools even some may) will get really discouraged fighting pay for play. The fans of those schools will lose interest thus tickets sales drop gradually. In the end it may be about 25 Big Boys still standing or maybe 35.

We are way behind on NIL, hopefully we'll catch up soon.
