247Sports reports that Texas Longhorns director of football operations Tory Teykl is going to make the jump from the Forty Acres to whatever the Kansas Jayhawks call their campus.
From 247Sports: “... Teykl — who is one of the few females in a lead football operations role at the collegiate level — will soon wrap up her time at Texas before joining the Kansas staff. Sources told Horns247 Teykl’s departure will leave a huge void for Herman to fill since she is in charge of handling a load of responsibilities for the Longhorns, including coordinating camps and team travel plans, handling all communication with the team and working as a liaison with both compliance and academic services among many other responsibilities.”
That’s an L for the Longhorns.

NEWS ACROSS THE LONGHORN REPUBLIC AND BEYOND
- The Senate Commerce Committee held a hearing this week that was supposed to be about college athletes making money off their name, image and likeness. It didn’t work out that way, USA Today reports. From USA Today: “It didn’t take long for the hearing to turn, sometimes pointedly, into a conversation about college athletes’ safety and welfare – particularly amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said that he and Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., had introduced legislation Tuesday that would prevent schools from conditioning athletes’ participation in sports on the athletes signing pledges or waivers that could be interpreted as the athletes legally assuming the risk of getting sick as a result of their sports activity — a requirement that Blumenthal termed ‘unethical.’”
