I just saw them on Baylor football's Twitter page. Lol.

The world has changed.

It's causing quite the stir among my ut and tamu friends. Of course they're saying that's not very ethical since we're a private Christian school. Ha.

You could make the argument that it's unethical not to pay someone when they bring in millions of dollars for your institution. Yeah yeah, I've heard the 'they get paid with free tuition' etc. argument. I get it, but times have changed. Also, being a Christian isn't really about being ethical, but I digress

They are cashing in on the Aranda deadpan quote. It caught the eye of a national twitter NIL account...a little extra pub can't hurt.

Baylor coaches wore "We Pay Players" T-shirts at training camp Friday, alluding to Dave Aranda's comments at Big 12 media days.

The shirts are part of a new campaign with The NIL Store, with a portion of proceeds going to athletes.

So the shirts should say, "Players Pay Us"??

It's probably more accurate. Honestly, it's the big money donors that are paying the players

I heard that one a lot over the years.

I think players should be compensated, but we also have to be realistic on what value the average player brings to an institution as far as value. It's not millions of dollars.

if people are willing to pay it, then yes they are worth it. It's basic business. Of course we are all able to determine if they are personally worth it to us but market determines value

A national account with 200K followers picked it up....it's getting some buzz out there

Baylor coaches wore these shirts at camp today 👀

Yep. something is worth what someone is willing to pay. I could list my house on the market today for 1 million bucks, but I ain't getting that. If mathematics brought in millions of dollars to a university like football does, big money folks would be shelling out the Lamborghini deals to the nerds. But it doesn't, so they don't

I've chosen to sit in the comfort of my own home and watch Baylor games for $10.99/mo ($2.75/game) on ESPN+

That's my mathematics.......

Shouldn't it say "We Pay Persons"

We had better play players- and pay them well or we will never rise again in this environment.

This post actually captures the ENTIRETY of the sad and coming embarrassment this ignorant t-shirt move has created.

When Baylor ends sub-500 again this season they will be roasted and be the laughing stock for social media scorn with this ignoramus t-shirt move. And trust me, it most likely will happen by the opposing team with every loss. Expect it.....

Sports 101: NEVER provide unnecessary bulletin board material to the other teams, and especially the public social media warriors.

Thanks coaching staff.....and @BUFootball. Baylor Football continues its run of a calamity of errors.

Sic'em

One could also make the argument that a school could, has, and will continue to make millions whether that player is on the team, or plays someplace else. A school's name brand is much much bigger than a given player's name brand.

Players are being paid large amounts of money so that their teams can win football games and championships. It is not at all about how much money the school makes. The schools that win the most are the ones that are willing to pay the most - pretty much like it has always been, but out in the open.

Only a few players make it to the pros (2-3%??). The rest are paid very little NIL money. For those players, getting an education as part of the deal is a really good thing. I hope players are able to get lots of money playing for their schools. But only up to the point where all athletes still have the opportunity to get an education. I fear that that opportunity is being lost through the portal and NIL.

Not sure most of the football world gives a hoot about a 3-9 team from last year with a coach on the hot seat. We ain't bulletin board material these days, outside of a few forums. If Dion had worn such a shirt the whole college football world would be talking about it.

It was about 500 million dollars in the case of RG III. And that was just counting his Heisman year.

Yep, this will come back to bite BU in the backside. Just one more to add to the infinite blunders BU has made in its history . Baylor really needs to just fade away from Big Time, D1 football. Is there ANY other school that would stoop to that level of ineptness? It just boggles my mind. I wish could go back 50+ years and find another school to support. So many times, in public, how embarrassing things like this becomes. The jokes will never end. It's just pathetic from the Admin on down. Stomach already turning.

It's not fans. It's not other schools. It's to recruits.
