You’ve hit the nail on the head, our University has far too much in common with UTA. That’s our biggest problem.
As for being a SMU wanna be? If by that you mean having some semblance of admission standards, not just accepting anybody that walks off the street, producing successful, proud alumni that earn tons of money and will use that money to wield influence in college athletics? Yeah, you damn right I’d like some of that in Denton.
The article is behind a paywall, but it’s worth the cost. Saban says the current system isn’t sustainable and needs regulation. He’s been talking to members of Congress and others about the problem. The NCAA President says they get continuous complaints from athletes that are convinced by third parties to enter the Portal on the promise of big NIL dollars, leave their scholarships, and find far less money and no scholarships at the end. A reason for Tennessee’s Talent Fee is to have enough money to keep funding Olympic sports as NIL has bleed all the money for them dry. Of note, the Governor of Georgia just signed an executive order blocking Georgia schools from NCAA action on direct payments. Saban says the reason is schools in Georgia have promised athletes more money than they have in their collectives - they don’t want to get sued!
