Longhorn Blitz: NIL laws change the game for Texas, college athletics

Matt Butler, Rod Babers and Jeff Howe are discussing how much the name, image and likeness laws that went into play on July 1 have changed college athletics forever. With numerous Texas Longhorns taking advantage of the ability to profit from the new NIL landscape, the discussion centers around how far things can be taken and what unique advantages exist for players on the Forty Acres.This week's episode of Longhorn Blitz also includes a discussion regarding the Texas defense in 2021. Prying Pete Kwiatkowski away from Washington was a tremendous hire by Steve Sarkisian, but the first-year defensive coordinator for the Longhorns has a lot of perceived personnel questions on his side of the ball with two months to go until kickoff that could significantly impact the win ceiling for Texas in Sarkisian's first season on the job.You can get the latest Longhorn news and analysis at Horns247.
