Nick saban on NIL money

The real question is who would regulate it?  And then, who would enforce punishment for those that break whatever rules are in place?  The NCAA I’m assuming?  Do I need to ask anymore questions?

Bama, Clemson, OU and OSU can keep their mouths shut on NLI

NIL will destroy this game we all love if it's not regulated soon.

TAMU's advantage in NIL will be a very temporary one. None of those big SEC programs is short of boosters eager to chip in or would accept anything less than maximum efforts to get the best recruiting class. It's always going to be an arms race down there.

Nick is just concerned that NIL will allow recruits he'd normally pick up to go other places, so it actually will probably help even things out at least on the field of play. Just don't look at the numbers. 

". . .will only cause a bigger disparity"--this is obvious. Can Michigan somehow take advantage despite this? I have my doubts. There is too much ambivalence at the top. 

I guess the issue with "regulation" is just that the "good guys" might obey the rules, leaving room for people who are already willing to be shady under the current circumstances to continue doing that. I do wonder if we get some kind of "league minimum" at bigger name schools eventually like they have in pro leagues, but I don't see why anyone would willingly handicap themselves as it is.

Kids not only want NLI money, they want NLI money and the opportunity to be surrounded by other great talent and to get a high level of exposure by playing in the CFP every year so they can get drafted and make even bigger money. Trust me, Saban ain't worried. NLI is only going to create animosity on teams as a select group of players get rich and the supporting cast on the team stays where they are. It is the beginning of the end of college football as we know it.

The only way he can cheat it is if it’s regulated.  Fuck him. 

“They always could” lol. They always have. Now they’re taking a pay cut. 

Because it’s easier it buy players when there were fewer buyers.  Boo fucking hoo. 

lol he just wants to regulate it so he can break the regulations and get an edge again. Texas A&M must have him scared.

Yes.

When the Big 10 powers IE Michigan, Psu, Osu, Nebraska attack the NIL on the same level the sec does, you can bet new rules will be put in place.  

The bs is the sec has controlled everything regarding cf rules for a long time..  

The sad thing is the NCAA isn’t smart enough to take control from the SEC.  NCAA could easily expand the CFP, set the rules and make it to be far more even in CF.  You want the East, Midwest and West coast involved in CF and esp the CFP.  No one cares about Bama Georgia cfp, they played that game over a month ago.  But set a cfp that invites the country and enforce the rules make them equal across all conferences and you will see a playoff that includes a pac 12 team, big10 team, sec and ACC.. An 8 or 12 team playoff and.  Go

The sec is running the NCAA so when the Big Ten schools fully adopt NIL like the SEC has then we will see rules changes..  aTm has admitted to a university coordinated approach to recruiting and NIL money directly from boosters which is what this was supposed to prevent. Nothing, why because we know the rest of the SEC is doing it and no way on earth do they stop it till they get beat at their own game.  

Remember, Saban couldn't win in the Big Ten. He had to go somewhere that let him cheat.

I feel like I could have anticipated this when the NCAA just said "screw it" and implemented this with very little guidance following the court case.

They really should have been prepared to have their hand forced but it seems like they got caught totally off-guard and had nothing.

Saban is worried that the gravy times are coming to an end. NIL will level the field and nullify Bama’s key advantage

He said this will only cause a bigger disparity in college football. 

The scales will tilt toward Texas.
But the States without big football money....

Saban is disappointed he can’t cut the rungs off of the ladder after he has already passed them.
