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.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
