Texas would kick Arch off the team if that happened, and I would be extremely disappointed if they didn’t. UT does not fuck around with this stuff. Really, only one school has been so ethically bankrupt as to play a player caught gambling on football, Tech.
Tech only supplies money to itself, it does not enrich others in any material respect. Kaines is right, they were likely going to be left out of the eventual super conference regardless. They don’t bring anything to the table. They are not a national draw, and Texas already delivers the entire state by itself for TV rights.
Let Campbell know that all his money can’t buy blue blood status. Tech will always be irrelevant regardless of how much money he burns. They are a more pathetic A&M.
Thank God the UT grads I deal with consistently aren't as cucked out as this - let me grab a chair and set it in the corner for you.
The death of the NCAA is a good thing; regardless of who pulls the trigger. Then again, it's well known that hardcore college sports fans are fairly retarded, so I guess this is par for the course.
You're punching at air with your "blue blood" comment, and equivocating a "seat at the table" as being a "blue blood". You act as if the B1G and SEC is exclusively made up of all massive, flagship power programs, which is not the case - with enough money and success a program can certainly play their selves into some form of legitimate relevance. Indiana is one of the worst programs in the history of college football, and they just steam rolled to a national title. NIL neutralizes the necessity of being a "blue blood".
Of course a UT grad (assuming that you actually are) can't resist getting catty and bitchy about A&M - and you want to preach about pathetic? The University of Texas has the most resources in the country (thanks in large part to that PUF fund from West Texas) and has done less with more, historically, than any other massive flagship program, especially post-war.
UT has the honor and privilege of being the flagship university of the great state of Texas - and proceeded to get dog walked by OU for the better part of 80 years. You should be ashamed; you should actually apologize to all Texans in here. UT fans should be thanking God that Tech doesn't receive the oil money that the state pumps out of its backyard (and gives to UT and A&M). Mike Leach would've made Mack Brown look like he had down syndrome.
Look, A&M is the CrossFit of Texas colleges. They've built a legion of cult members who would willingly die in an instance for that institution. Tech is based on Arrakis, it trains the faithful. If you make it out of West Texas with your sanity, you'll be a stronger person for it. UT floods Texas with hundreds of thousand institutionally captured progressive women and homosexual James Talarico-type males to depredate the great state - thanks, I guess.
I believe the next form of SEC and B1G will include a CBA with a college players organization. They will effectively build it like the NFL model. To play in that league, you will have to join the players association. A lot of the shadow NIL will go away because that money will just be funneled through the actual football program.

A "super conference" is an outright disaster; Congressional action is the only thing that keeps college athletics even remotely collegiate and geographically consistent.
Ultimately, this could've all been avoided if the lawyers from UT representing the NCAA were half as competent as Kessler and Texas Speaker of the House Dustin Burrows.
