His revshare portion is maybe 100k-500k. Nil will make up the other portion of the 4 million contract. Example 500k Rev share 3.5 million NIL.

Where are you seeing these details?

ON3 has Coleman 2.5 - 3M post signing. Not sure what Tech offered nor where the 4M comes from short of here. The real answer is nobody except his agent and him know.


Yep, but im sure that foias are out against all schools anyway. No reason to to not find out what your school is officially giving


You don't need to do a records request to know what each school in SEC or Big 10 is officially giving in revenue sharing.

I say Good Bull. We should swamp tu with freedom of information requests... keep 'em busy, and poke our nose into anything that is of interest to us.


And they would do the same to us simply wasting Texas taxpayer money.

It was plain to see that NIL would result in massive cheating at a level never before seen. Many wanted it because the poor athletes were being taken advantage of, despite the fact that no one cares about any player if the University's name isn't on their jersey. This is what we get. It isn't NIL, it is pay-for-play. College football sucks compared to what it used to be and is now little more than a lower level professional league It is what it is. Just accept it. .

Schools are not stupid. They will pay the players what they want, but keep the paper trail nice and clean. Even if they made a mistake, the NCAA is completely impotent to enforce anything. When it comes to NIL, the NCAA loses every single case.

The reality is that we are back in the wild west days. Think 70s and 80s SWC. Programs that blatantly break the rules like Ole Miss are able to do so openly and without consequences. The idea that some Aggie is going to weaponize FOIA requests, solve the case, and get tu busted has no basis in reality.

With the help of ChatGPT I recently submitted a FOIA request to Texas University to inquire about the records related to revenue sharing payments made or planned by the university during the transfer portal period (Dec 20th - Jan 16th).

While the legal affairs department used Texas Gov't code 552.104 to not disclose individual payments and contracts, they did provide that during this period payments made to all sports was $10,549,975.29. It's safe to assume that the majority of that $10mm was for the football program and Cam Coleman was the lion share portion.

The longhorns are easily fielding a $50 million dollar roster which exceeds the maximum amount permitted under the House settlement.

30 years ago, I also sent a public information request to t.u., for their football playbook. They were not happy to have to provide it to me, so pressured the then-Texas attorney general (the last Texas statewide official elected as a Democrat) to rule the sip playbook was a "trade secret."

Their playbook is simple.

1. Start losing.
2. Pay refs.

Reminded me of the good old days when the sanctimonious sips pointed fingers while being just as dirty as everyone else.

It took me 10 seconds to write the GPT prompt and send it to the university.

How does it compare when you do it for A&M?


Legit question!

More importantly, do it for Texas Tech. Those guys are spending INSANE cash to buy a Natty.

When have rules been for them? During all the chaos of the SWC, I don't recall them getting anything more than a slap on the wrist, while anyone who got good at beating them was punished hard.

Back then, you have to remember the fish wraps were the primary source of news.
  • Guess which university had the primary journalism school in the state? tu
  • Guess where many of them wound up being employed? Dallas Crimes Herald, Dallas Morning News, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Houston Post, and Houston Comical
  • Guess which newspapers were the investigators for so-called NCAA violations? See above
  • Guess which schools they targeted? All SWC schools except Rice and tu

That's because it was sunk by a glass house, just like the Titanic.

you don't understand how this works do you. it's ok, but seriously you are creating a problem.

1. NIL can come from the university - limit $20 M (or whatever it is)
2. NIL can come directly from companies willing to offer a salary for services (no limit whatsoever)

you can't comprehend this?
