What Indiana v Alabama proved is that when you dominate the line of scrimmage, good things happen.

Interesting article on what players can expect in the portal (long but worth the read)

If we are trying to ax budgets then its absurd Cam and Deuce are still offered big paydays. We could retain so many players just from those two paychecks.

Looks like we will explore that territory. Not sure if true, but I have read reports Cam turned down 2 mil from us.

This free agency every year is not sustainable nor is it good for college FB. Hard to be loyal when players move every year,

Coleman was initially committed to Texas A & M before Auburn

Someone tell me why a player would not enter the portal, if no other reason than to determine their market value every year

Maker - $30 million seems like a lot, but not so much when you factor depth players. I agree that developing depth no longer works, but you still have to have it. Add in the fact that certain positions command a lot more than average - I am glad I am not the GM.

It requires teams to make tough calls ,particularly on players who place high values on themselves

How many players at each group do you carry.? In short how many ways are you going to split what you allocated for each position group?

Ok - all you experts, It seems pretty obvious no skilled player is going to play just for a scholarship. So you have $30 Million as your roster cap. How many players do you pay (don't forget the redshirts) and what do you pay for each position?

Why does ANY group not affiliated with the school get to come on campus?

Because most fans are not "affiliated" with a school except to root for them therefore they would not be allowed on campus. Typical liberal BS - instead of going after the bad guys, lets punish everyone else, which means the bad guys win.
