I agree ... it shouldn't be a "Wild Wild West" approach to this concerning the schools/programs. There has to be an answer ... not sure what that looks like going forward but there has to be an answer.

I'm just pointing this out to emphasize that Bama had better get a top notch mass funded cooperative going.

ðŸ™ÂðŸ™ÂðŸ™ÂðŸ™ÂðŸ™ÂThen this will be what eventually does the NCAA in...
Kinda goes to the point I made in another post ... as of now it doesn't matter how much a program can throw at a player ... the team still has to win on the field.
Ask Texas A&M how the spending money on players and coaches thang is working out for them. Just saying lol
The funny thing is (first of all, has anyone seen one of these “contracts�):
If it in any way, shape or form is tied to that kid playing for a specific school, it’s not legal.
Are these “yearly†contracts†?
How long before the “grunts†go on strike for more “pay� Don’t see them driving any Lambo’s.
I have more but I’d like to see some semblance of info on one of these “contractsâ€Â.

There are certain unavoidable things in life. You take someone who didn't grow up rich, and dump about a million bucs on them. it changes you. All of us. Now back that up and think of yourself when you were 18. We've had NIL for a few seasons but this season is the first where literal mountains of cash are being dumped on players as the schools all try to outbid each other for the biggest stars. So I predict you're going to start seeing the same problems you've been seeing in the NFL for quite a while now. We can also look to the NFL to gauge a ROI so to speak. I believe what we will find at the college level is that the QB's are the only players who will give a true big return for the $$$.
With Saban having an office in the stadium, what are the odds of him taking on an active role with NIL for the University? If it comes down to collecting money and sponsors, this would be a natural fit for him.
Yella Fella has 1.2b but he sure isn't gonna be helping us out
I can't watch because I work at the stadium on game days, but this NIL relationship is between boosters and players. The regular fan doesn't factor in.
I have to work home games, and I rarely watch away games anymore. Just check online for scores and goings on.
I’m going to say this and it’s going to be controversial and a lot of people are not going to want to hear it. NIL + TP is not like the NFL… it’s more like the MLB. There are restrictions in the NFL and cap limits. In the MLB there are none and you can buy a team.
But here is the thing… how often do the Yankees and Dodgers win? Since 2008 they have the same number of WS rings as one of the poorest teams named the Royals. Just because you can buy a team it doesn’t mean that you’ll dominate. Sure it helps tremendously but in the end building a team is a lot better than buying. Alabama is basically the St Louis Cardinals or Atlanta Braves in this type of structure in which you are not going to win big bidding wars but you can entice enough good players to come because you are Alabama and you have a culture of winning. We need to focus on getting the right players more than the most talented ones.
Ultimately I think something will be done to fix the system because a world without the major powers constantly competing is going to hurt interest. I think should Michigan part ways with Harbaugh then fixing this system becomes a more immediate priority.

CFB will become what it was before the roster limitations. Ie the days of the select few having 99% of the good players. Instead of huge rosters, it willl be huge payrolls.
Soon all the mercenaries will have moved on, then Bama will have guys who want to be at Bama. Then Deboer and staff can recruit players who want to be at Bama. Washington 25th and Michigan 15th in talent ranking both played for the Naty. It was not Bama, UGA, or Texas. All who are top five in talent ranking. I am not saying there is nothing to worry about losing all these guys, at least short term, but the title CAN be won with heart, commitment and good coaching. Roll Tide!

Any chance that CNS puts money in the collective??? Anything preventing him from doing so? Might be a way for him to smooth over some of the recruiting issues. Or that may just be a crack pipe dream because he despises the current structure of it. Think about the pitch he could offer, "hey kid I have a Mercedes and Ferrari dealership we can make something happen. Also I have a lot of pull in the NFL..."
I'm sure he would sell them what they want, but I hope nobody ever asks him to feed this ravenous NIL beast.
Just Google it, the info is out there and it is not pretty for Alabama right now.
