The name, image and likeness era is officially upon us as Texas Longhorns.
Texas players are already signing deals, too.
The apparel company Last Stand Hats announced early this morning – literally minutes after the law went into effect at midnight – that Texas players such as linebacker DeMarvion Overshown and cornerback Josh Thompson have inked deals with the brand.
Seriously, it’s really happening, folks. See for yourself:
Today is the day! A huge change in the way things move forward.
