College football might be about to get real interesting

Not sure if you've seen the fireworks today between Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher, but it's gotten kinda crazy.

Saban basically accused Texas A&M of "buying" players. Fisher called a press conference and fired back at Saban for...a lot of things 😳

Somewhere in the process, Saban also mentioned Deion Sanders' team. That elicited this response...

As of right now, eporters everywhere are getting ready to watch the fireworks.

Potentially a lot could happen between now and next year's draft that could affect the college football landscape.

This sounds like a story that might be worth keeping our eyes on.

Both massive, cheating douches. Nothing to see other than people being upset that their normal cheating is now legal.

It's what could potentially come out of that issue that could make things "interesting".

The story Will Kunkel cited above is one example.

It's going to be really messy in college sports while this whole NIL process is getting ironed out. It was way past time for something like this to happen but it's gonna be the wild west for awhile.

I have literally been pushing for the NIL for over 25 years. Glad to see it come to pass.

Yep. It was badly needed. Now it badly needs some parameters and oversight. I honestly think that's why the NCAA fought it for so long and why when they were finally forced to open the flood gates they just threw them open 100%. They don't want to actually work. 😂

They want this to be a full on poo show so that they can say, "See! We told you so!"

I've always said paying college kids would open a can of worms. Instead of "paying" them ... they came up with this NIL idea. For those that supported paying athletes were fine with NIL. Good for them, they'd say. I didn't even think of how schools could use NIL to their benefit. All of the alum/backer stuff that people have forever been saying poisons the game ... just became legally possible with NIL. Good job, NCAA ... lol. Good job, people that supported kids making money ... lol. It's going to get dirtier than ever now.

Not sure if you were shooting for the most tone-deaf post in Huddle history, but if you didn't hit the moon you certainly landed ong the stars. 😂

Saban didn’t even accuse Jimbo, the players, etc of doing something illegal or wrong.  Jumbo’s rant was against an accusation that wasn’t actually made.  LOL.  

Jimbo is just mad Saban outed what the wealthiest college did and what is going to continue to happen.  And Jimbo is going to want it to stay that way for him to reap the benefits.  Saban wants the rules/NIL changed.

      I think Canales goes before Young in that scenario.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.

      I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.
