When a full-ride scholarship, free room/board + access to top nutrition & training facilities become irrelevant and are no longer considered a benefit, things have gone off the ledge. ...
[quote]You got a little taste of it with the modern landscape of coaching salaries. They used to be thought of as having loyalty. They’ve been nothing more than paid mercenaries pimped out to the highest bidder by super agents. Funny that I don’t remember the other bama fan bitching about Saban b...
[quote]The transfer portal mess is what’s truly ruining the sport more than NIL. But I’d like to see how the recent non-compete clause ruling pertains to the transfer portal.[/quote] Agree 100%. Unlimited, unrestricted transfers have resulted in nothing more than placing these kids on an auction ...
[quote]The "league" would also need to place stiff restrictions on transfers. [/quote][quote]Removing the dollar chasing would greatly reduce the transfers. Maybe bonus for GPA and a degree from member institutions would help.[/quote] I think they work hand-in-hand. Restrict the current transfer r...
[quote] It’s not feasible. Schools are not paying players ergo a cap on them wouldn’t work. What you are suggesting is capping private individuals and businesses or limiting what players can earn from businesses and private individuals. A better model to do this would be for players to be employ...
[quote]Tennessee and Virginia are 2 of the latest trying to reinvent NIL for personal gain. Others will simply follow suit if they perceive an advantage. Unregulated greed through State Rights is not the business model I would recommend for long-term stability in college sports.[/quote] Alabama is i...
[quote] Nobody was told that there would be "collectives"... [/quote][quote]bullshite, I warned of collectives for years before the NIL. I didn't call them "collectives" but I described the entire process 100% and said what would happen. And it's not like I'm someone who can see into the future,...
[quote]This was the way it was presented to the public. Nobody was told that there would be "collectives"... Nobody was told that guys basketball transfers would be lending their "name, image and likeness" to the owner of the Dallas Cowboys. It was presented like this was going to be player...
[quote]NIL should only come from any legit business opportunity that uses their name, like, and image. No pay for play from boosters or the university period. Your money either comes from a legit, pre-verified and vetted service you are providing or not at all. And if I had it my way, you only ge...
I wonder how many additional personnel the NCAA had to hire to monitor the transfer portal traffic? ...
[quote]When does the NCAA apologize to Bruce? All he did was a BBQ. [/quote] Bruce was excessively sanctioned IMO. The BBQ would've been a slap on the wrist, lying about it brought down the hammer. screw the ncaa...
Cal has time on his hands now that he's not having to pass the hat glad hand donors to raise funds for his NIL collective. ...
[quote]Less experience is better. Home run hire![/quote] The last coach that followed Coach Saban had 4 yrs experience and he logged an 11-2 season for LSU. :moon:...
[quote]AUTiger789[/quote] You do good work. :cheers:...
[quote]Nate Forrest[/quote] This reads as if ASU was in full compliance with the NCAA, participated 100% received a stamp of approval from the NCAA for exhibiting a perfect model of compliance with the NCAA's rules and regulations. ASU even pats them themselves on the back for their exemplary coope...
[quote]It’s hilarious to me that the gunps have talked themselves into DeBust being even close to Saban lol[/quote] He actually is pretty dang close man, his office is in the complex and he's made himself available to the entire program. :dunno: ...
[quote]This can’t be right. I’ve been assured that Alabama would be the best team in America and Auburn, without Aden Holloway, would be absolute arse.[/quote] Well, Alabama will not be the best team in America and Auburn won’t be absolute arse. :rolleyes:...
[quote]Yeah, I meant Caleb Downs. [/quote]Caleb Downs isn't a star OT. :dunno: ...
Rings are great. My 10 yr old nephew brought home a big ole, shiny travel ball ring for winning a tournament in Florida this weekend. :dunno: ...
[quote]Auburn is literally in our worst rut as a program since just after WW2. [/quote] At least Bruce has AU basketball thumping at historically unprecedented levels. ...
