Name, image and likeness rules have ushered in a new era of college football, but Arch Manning is playing by the old rules.
At least until he becomes Texas' starting quarterback.
Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian told reporters that the freshman signal-caller did not sign any NIL deals. The family's position is that he won't do so until he becomes the starting quarterback.
Granted, the Manning family isn't exactly hurting for money. Arch's uncles, Peyton and Eli, were longtime stars in the NFL, have plenty of endorsement deals and work for ESPN. His father, Cooper, is the senior managing director of investor relations for a private real estate company.
