Texas and Texas A&M have worked to stay ahead of changes in recruiting under new...
A&M’s Jimbo Fisher is one of many coaches asking for “uniformity” among the 50 states and their varying NIL laws.For more than a century, Texas and Texas A&M hashed out their plentiful differences on football fields in Austin and College Station.
That NIL evolution took another turn this week with the NCAA issuing guidance aimed at boosters — in this case, “collectives” geared toward specific universities — who are not to use improper inducements to recruit players. While A&M and UT are among the richest universities in the nation — and therefore expected to be among the top beneficiaries of NIL luxuries, as they have been early on — Fisher is one of many college coaches in football and basketball calling for “uniformity” among the 50 states and their varying NIL laws.
Easier said than done, of course, especially with the NCAA this week pledging to use its enforcement staff to “review the facts of individual cases pursue only those actions that clearly are contrary to the published interim policy, including the most severe violations of recruiting rules or payment for athletics performance.”
“We’re tough, we’re hard and cheating ain’t something I’m going to do,” Fisher told a gathering at the Houston Touchdown Club last week. “I don’t believe in it, never have done it and ain’t going to.” Although Fisher has not allowed his three quarterbacks competing for the starting job in 2022 to visit with the media, veteran Haynes King has signed a deal with TexAgs for exclusive interviews leading to the season.
