This brings us to a larger issue: as the University most dependent upon football for its identity, IMO, it behooves the institution itself to provide the funds needed to compete on a level field with the Jed Clampets, shoe cobblers, et al

I don’t know what this looks like though. There’s nothing we can do from a money raising standpoint that other teams who already are ahead of us aren’t already doing.


I will personally absolutely hate the date an ad is placed on our jersey. But LSU is ready to put a tramp stamp on their garbage arse jerseys if it means Lane has an extra WR to throw to. Teams will be whoring out their stadium names and everything else so we’ll only be keeping up with the Jones’ while giving up the best traditions in the sports.


We have the highest social media following in major college athletics but those followers don’t seemingly have an appetite for helping the team be good in any way.

I don’t think it’s really difficult for most of us to understand.

It’s more so that it’s still frustrating to not have at least a slightly more exciting class. I’m all for signing a smaller class and retaining players. I guess I’d be fine with signing 10-15 players if I thought most of them would be starters one day. Right now we have a small class and most of them are depth guys i think. If we sign an amazing class next year that’s great but it’s also going to come with a lot of them needing to make an impact in year 2. I think people are also a bit uneasy because we missed out on smells needed portal pieces as well.


No one is saying the house is fully engulfed in flames. Just a small bit of unease and I really like our staff but they are not beyond reproach or criticism yet.

It is a brave new world and I’m willing to see how all this plays out(as if I have a choice). It’s still going to be a little painful to see two 5 star receivers, 1 who has two brothers on the team and another who grew up being called “Bama” go to other schools.

Are you saying EA will pay the University of Alabama money towards our NIL budget if random gamers select Alabama to play with in the game?

---

To my understanding, yes. Delaware had a whole campaign for this last year asking gamers to use them so they could bolster their NiL a bit.

It’s probably a drop in the bucket. Like a Spotify stream where the artist gets a fraction of a penny for each stream.

I’m mostly just joking about EA being a conspirator :lol:

Yeah and IF for whatever reason this season goes left and there’s all this immense pressure on DeBoer in year 4 that doesn’t lend itself to bringing in a great class either because big boosters get very tight pocketed for coaches the see as lame ducks. They don’t throw good money after bad money.

We’re seeing this at FSU now where their boosters are not spending in NiL because they’re preparing to use that to buyout Norvell

Yeah I mean I’m ok with a smaller class but you still have to sign a few great players.

Losing out on Sales and Saab is a big gut punch. I’d be fine with getting just one.

I read a thing yesterday where I think only like only 16 of the top 150 players are uncommitted and were not likely to land any of them.

I understand the smaller class/retention but I don’t see how you can punt on an entire recruiting cycle and think that’s a great strategy. And it’s not like we’re breaking in a new staff. This is pretty much the same staff for a third straight year and should have roots and relationships in the area.

For fricks sake can we move on?

As it pertains to OUR TEAM… fricking 6 years ago, our former coach, who is the greatest coach of all time, marched with his players in a show of solidarity over them feeling angered and upset about a handcuffed black man being kneeled on and then dying on camera.

Our players didn’t riot or burn shite down. They marched to feel like they did something in the face of a shocking excessive show of force. Our coach marched with them. We went undefeated and won a national championship.


Why we’re on about this in a recruiting thread or why some of you shite kickers are still fricking mad about this 6 years later is beyond me. fricking grow up and find some real problems in life and start looking inward at your anger instead of projecting it on anything that isn’t you and your dollar general arse way of life.

2 months until kickoff. Then most of the extremely low IQ takes on this board will be football related. Can’t wait!

Terrion was already struggling. They weren’t going to get to play him this year and the optics of it looked bad to keep a player who couldn’t play this year and they wouldn’t want to extend after his rookie contract was up.
