Hopefully, it will be one of the rich and powerful schools that becomes the example. Remember the SMU death penalty?

Why would anyone follow the rules if there’s not consequences? Someone’s head will have to roll. I prefer sanity not anarchy, in sports. Players thought they were mistreated before, it just might get a lot worse.

The answer to why we didn't get Bryce Perry-Wright is in the article:
In what’s been no secret, Texas Tech has used riches to fuel what’s become a recruiting juggernaut. The athletic program has spent more than $50 million on its athletes in both front-loaded money this past spring plus revenue-share dollars this coming academic year. That’s at least the front-loading of $30 million plus $20.5 million in rev-share.

Odds Texas Tech fares better than TAMU and Ole Miss in this spending spree?

So what to do? Is money bad? It was not long ago and TN was simply loaded up with fans touting the idea that players should be paid. Well here it is. It sucks just like at least 50% of us thought it would.

Big business is, and always has been, about the haves and the have nots. Major university Athletic Departments are most certainly big businesses and those with the dollars and the good attorneys will be the winners.

the good old days of the Rock Hill "bag man" or wherever the heck he was...
It'll be interesting to see some fair-market valued NIL deals...

It sounds like the coaches know it's a joke. And they are the ones who would have about the best intel on what's going on.

Coaches are saying, "We haven't even started and people are already cheating."
But, look at this quote from the TT head coach: “We’ve got to recruit at this level if we are going to continue to be in the same conversation as the SEC and Big Ten. We’ve got to understand as a conference that we’ve got to commit to that. We have committed to that at Texas Tech and eliminated any people saying, ‘Well, they can’t do it there.’”
Translation: We are following the SMU model. We are making sure that when the SuperLeague is formed we will be included in it.

Gotta move to NFL style franchise model with a nationwide league as the franchisor and each university being a franchisee.
Until then, we will have continued chaos.
