My Longhorn buddy tells me Arch is making $20,000,000 NIL money this year. He is a redshirt sophomore. He could stay two more years and maybe make another $40,000,000. No incentive to turn pro until his elgibility is up and then comes a big cut in pay.

Exactly right and exactly why this crazy.

The Ole Ball Coach has never gotten over his home state of Tennessee, not offering him a scholarship. 

 

Here are two of Spurrier's better shots at UT.

 

"You can't spell Citrus Bowl without a UT."

 

"The reason Peyton Manning is returning to Tennessee, he wants to be the Citrus Bowl MVP for the third season in a row."

 

In the case of Archie, I think Spurrier's caution is justified. Other than Meand23, what has this Manning accomplished? In 2025, the Longhorns returning production, players who started six or more games in 2024, is 103rd out of 136 teams. All of Texas's top receivers, including the TE, are no longer with the program, and Texas returns one OL starter. 

 

Texas is -350 to make the PO. 2nd only to Ohio State's (101st returning production) -500. 

 

With road games at Ohio State, a revenge-minded Florida, and Georgia, and games against rivals Oklahoma, Arkansas, and A&M, the better bet may be Texas +250 to not make the PO.

 

It was 7th-round draft choice Quinn Ewers, playing behind a veteran O-line and with WRs who went early in the 2025 draft, who led Texas to consecutive PO semifinal games.  

 

Let's see if Archie can Man(ning) Up and meet all of the preseason optimistic predictions?

I can't feel too sorry for Arch, ($20M NIL) but all of this is based on his name, I actually think Klubnik is more interesting.
