Man I don’t see it…You can say that about anyone but calling out Texas A&M is just ridiculous IMO.  I don’t agree with you at all here

The richest school just secured the #1 recruiting class of all time….thanks to “NIL”. 

Yes, pay for play has always happened and yes the rich have always benefited from it in college sports.   The introduction of NIL is just a new version on steroids.  Therefore it gets even more extreme. 

Saban speaks the truth.  There just happens to be some hypocrisy in it given Bama is saying it….and were one of the lead dogs of the older model.

Bullshet NIL doesn’t benefit Saban and that is the only thing he is concerned with

Saying this doesn’t benefit the players is ludicrous

These old rich guys are just pissed top recruits can either afford to go wherever they want if they think they can land some sponsorships or they're going to have to pay more off the books to recruit them than they had in the old system. I hope it makes some smaller schools and HBCU's more competitive so we don't see the same schools at the top every year. Quality of facilities/media attention will still differ but I don't see how it's not a good thing for underdogs in general

They are not the richest school (Harvard is by far), but they are tied with Texas for the wealthiest athletic program.

Texas Tied for Richest College Football Program (heartlandcollegesports.com)

 

Texas will probably blow A&M's doors off (again) once they're in the $EC. They're still at the top despite being pretty mediocre for the past decade.

I would think it would just help the major programs separate even further and not actually aid smaller programs. 

and the college football playoff  era is already is coming down to just a handful of teams.  I would think if the NIL doesn’t change….while the teams might change the top from what they are now, the couple teams that emerge will create even more separation.  

everyone hates Dabo and Saban.  And a lot of it is just.  But they have been making a lot of good points about NIL, the portal, etc.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Well, hope they're not worried about a torn Labrum or Rotator Cuff, as someone who went through that myself, I know those don't have anything show up on X-Rays but from the MRI, so this is kinda a nothing update, hope it's not a tear or his season is already over if they decide to do surgery now. Which is basically what would be needed to get him to 100% for the start of next season's training camp if it's a labrum.  If he plays the season with it and then does surgery, he's not going to be ready for camp and probably not the start of the season either.

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I always try to not pay much attention to a team’s preseason win/loss record. The 1982 Washington and 2021 LA Rams both lost every game in the preseason and went on to win the Super Bowl, whereas the 2008 Detroit Lions and 2017 Cleveland Browns both won every game in reason and went on to lose every regular season game. There’s many examples of teams that lose in preseason that go on to have good seasons, but equally there are teams that lose in preseason and that continues in the regular season. Which will we be?  I think our floor is a handful of wins, while our ceiling will probably be around the 9-10 win mark. The latter will require significant improvement from the whole team and coaching staff, and will also need Bryce to play like the QB we drafted him to be. I want to be optimistic and predict a winning season, but it’s really difficult as a Panthers fan!
