2015 Texas Longhorns

[PhatMack19]

Final deal was $250M over 15 years.  However, UA final offer was $260M over 10 years.  In addition, UA was prepared to commit to relocating their corporate headquarters to Austin, demonstrating their intention to make UT the brand of the brand.  From what I'm told, the interim AD turned UA down without so much as a formal meeting.  Glad he is comfortable turning down $10 mil a year.  For what it's worth, football was pushing for Nike while Shaka and Co. wanted Under Armour.  

None of know what went on with the negotiations, but there are Rumors out there that Patterson could have gotten the school in a legal mess by tampering with UA while under contract with Nike.  Also UA's deal supposedly involved stock options based on speculation while Nike had the cash.

The Patterson rumors are ridiculous IMO.  No negotiations took place until after the option period. However, as I've said before, UA made it known as early as July (around the time the Michigan/Nike deal was leaking) it was willing to open the bidding at 150 over 10.  This is done all the time by all the major players with institutions and players.   

You are correct that part of the UA tender was stock based.  However, UT could liquidate on the market if it chose, and many would estimate the value could be more than $26M/yr based on this.  UA has shown continual growth and with Steph Curry/Jordan Spieth/Tom Brady/Kershaw/Harper, etc., they continue to grab more of the market.  Regardless of all of that, apples to apples it was almost $10M/year more.   It is enough there is some head scratching going on.

Yeah all Texas fans have to worry about is what happens after the kickoff - regardless of the game time.

Why a kid from Baton Rouge want to play at Texas?

Why a kid from Baton Rouge want to play at Texas?

He's only a 3 star. SEC don't take 3 stars.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Why a kid from Baton Rouge want to play at Texas?

Why a kid from Miami want to play at Texas? Why a kid from Austin want to play at OU? Good grief its called good recruiting, id like to think yall would be congratulating Chuck instead of asking a question.

an uphill climb not steep enough

[UTfanatic]

I am perplexed by this team

they beat ou

lose to osu and cal on flakey plays

how do they get beat by the little twisters?

is it players, coaches, or both?

the win over Kansas was certainly not expected by me.

[PhatMack19]

Denzel Okafor, 3* 6'3 290 OG. #800 in the nation. Said his decision came down to TCU and sip, and that he likes both head coaches, but the deciding factor was he "wants to play for Coach Strong for the next 4-5 years"

 

 

He must not read SETXSports

This is not a good trend:  2013,2014, and 2015. The 2015 class will have 24 losses.
