Pac-12 expansion and media rights with retired Fox Sports Network President Bob Thompson
A lot of confluence and membership options being talked about it that article.
One thing that caught my eye: Football talk again at UTA. It seems every few years this gets floated out there then disappears. I don't think they will launch the program again in this NIL environment. They have never had the student support to sponsor football. It's much worse than NT's student support issues.
"However, UT Arlington has real momentum: a proposed student fee, growing support from football alumni, and plenty of smoke. The flames are being stoked."
NIL came about because the top programs were making a load of cash supposedly in these kid’s backs. Then let them sell their name, image or likeness to earn money on the side. Stop paying them a salary. That, or stop giving them scholarships. They are double dipping and contributors are tied of giving their hard earned money only to see the kid walk the next time till the portal opens. You want an NIL deal? Sign a contract.
