Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Intel you need to know)

That’s definitely one element. However, I think there are other fundamental issues that have many questioning wtf is going on. Also, when you consider that the organization and coaches have all the control and are ultimately responsible for the product, it makes sense the money would also be in house. Otherwise you have a base of people funding the most important piece of your product but have no knowledge of what is really necessary and how and why it’s used, nor do they have any control over the outcomes. Fans are just too disconnected from the reality and the process but are expected to be the stewards. Doesn’t make sense. I pay my employees because I’m the one with my fingers on the pulse and all the controls and decision making and ultimately being my ass on the line.
That seems way low for me. Without looking I’d ask if you could name another ~20-30 WWII movies, let alone ones better than this one.
My top ten would likely include most of yours, slightly different order probably. I’d like to find a spot for The Big Red One (need to rewatch that too), but for me this would be in that just missed category and no way that low.
That’s short sighted. You’re describing a scenario where the whole market is due to correct. Now they might have a little more but they’ll be making choices at that time too and not just having a blank check book.
I am toying with the thought that this will be cyclical. We will be in the top 15 in NIL always but there will also be a school that's on the money come and they will competent too.
I mean what if we win the natty this year? If I was one of those guys giving now I'd be like who's up next? And if there isn't anyone we have to wait to be worse for awhile
However hmm the math. ? If 100,000 alumni give 20 bucks a month that's 24 million - I.e. plenty.
So we must have like 10000 max - am I right? Sorry if this has been posted (the numbers)
I mean I give more than that but not enough to hurt

They’re the thirstiest kids on the block, by a mile. They aren’t really a good example, except for the fact that they are our closest rival, so it’s easy to point and say “aggy is doing it”. Well yeah, you knew they would. Like saying hey a crazy person is doing something crazy! Yeah, that’s what they do. Doesn’t mean it’s good or sustainable.
It's interesting. I mean I work in financial markets and I have seen this a million times. What's the externality that would drive consistent over the top giving? Aggieness? Actually maybe.
In cycling jumbo visma just won the triple. It's never ever been done before (giro tour and vuelta) so what happens? Their title sponsor drops them and they are having to combine with another team that has been historically great but lost their sugar daddy
Honestly this is like Texas winning the Natty and half the fans stop giving anything. It's more than that.
I can't figure any of this out
It’s not built for long term success as currently constructed. JMO. I’m just not seeing it, but I’m a huckleberry for the moment.
Wait until this recession hits. Shits gonna change for sure. Why don’t they just ask to add 1, 2, or 3 $ to every beer you buy on game days? If people knew that they’d do it instantly.
Well when you put your balls in the hands of others, you’re subject to any of the feelings and whims of the person holding them.

It’s a bit of a hush hush nebulous thing, as mentioned earlier, and Sarks comments kind of reflect that, which is one element of the disconnect.According to Ketchum

Not sticking up for Curt schilling just calling a spade a spade. How old are you dude seriously? Name calling, lol. You must of had a hard time in school with the thin skin you have.
Our legacy model involved very wealthy donors making large donations to the Longhorn Foundation and then wielding influence, there was nothing that qualified them for the most part to be making football decisions. While NIL for football has a lot of warts, specific to Texas, the system has allowed the experts to start driving the bus with much less distraction and interference and I think from what you have seen on the field this year, it is obvious it is definitely not fan directed.
When a persons gives to Texas One Fund, my belief is they just want to win and be good at football, you don't expect access or benefits because at the end of the day, all I can really sell is winning.
Of course. Sark can't talk about his program like a grifter. I was teasing Ketchum.
Sodexho gave some bullshit excuse why they couldn't execute a round up program in the stadium.
I get all that, for sure. Just not sure it’s resonating the way it should, or that it’s sustainable as it is now. I certainly don’t think the fans should have influence over the decisions, that’s kind of my point. Even if we are only discussing perception, perception is sometimes everything when you’re telling people it’s their responsibility and the pay off is winning, which is largely controlled by other things and decisions that are made by others.
Of course, this all has to be viewed through the different prisms of the masses versus the bigs. It’s a lot to deal with, no doubt. I don’t envy it.
To be clear, I’m not saying it’s just a Texas NIL thing that’s broken, I’m saying it’s a fundamental problem with the entire system. Are there other examples of this type of system working across a large platform like the entire system of universities?

I'd have just whipped your ass in school and that would have been that.
