Just wait until they allow posters from college sports fan sites to receive NIL money.

You mean we can’t. I hope no one turns me in
.I was working on a parenting plan in a custody case for a current ACC player today and had my first experience with how different the NIL money makes things.
The player is flying his parents up for all major games and volunteered to pay to fly his young daughter and her mother and put them up. In his words, “the agency will take care of all that for me.”

Then he told the agency “ Marillac is taking care of this for me “

Much ado about nothing. Players are just applying what they learned from the actions of college administrators, coaches, etc. It is a shame but was inevitable; IMO, colleges are primarily about business, not education, and have been for a long, long time. Same old, same old; greed is good for me but not for thee.
Nick Saban is the biggest hypocrite in college sports. He rails against the inequities of the NIL but doesn't mention that his quarterback last year, Bryce Young, received over 1 million dollars in NIL money.
While Nick Saban is a very good coach, I had a conversation with a Hall of Fame basketball coach who told me 25 years ago that 80% of coaching is recruiting. The best coaches can't win without great players. If you know anything about SEC sports, you know that many players received money under the table. The NIL is an opportunity for players to be compensated legally, and yes, this may result in bidding wars. This is what is known as the "free enterprise system". Yesterday's Price Ain't Today's Price.
Nick Saban recently purchased a 17 million dollar vacation home in Florida and has an estimated net worth of 75 million dollars. Did he accomplish this on his own? Hell no, his players are the main reason he has been successful and compensated so well.
Nick Saban needs to accept the fact that "Indentured Servitude" is a thing of the past.
I would amend one thing in your on the money post; Nick Saban is one of MANY biggest hypocrites in college sports; not letting him off the hook at all but he has a ton of company at the top of that list……….
Nick Saban also must to accept that he needs another $1 million in NIL for better quarterback.
It is always about one's ability to recruit.
Sorry to say it Bama people but, Nick Saban was a
horrible coach when he was with the Dolphins,
.
He wasn't bad, he was horrible ! He was run out of town and he
couldn't go fast enough.
He can launder it through his 10 million dollar salary, lmao
I agree he was a horrible NFL coach, but he is a different animal in college. He transformed Alabama into a machine.
In the NFL he had to coach the talent he was given. At Alabama, he coached the best talent "Booster" money could buy. #Factz
He was a different animal before he came to Miami also.
Before and after Miami he was enabled by(BUY) the great
Bama Alumni.
It is arguably the $trongest in the collegiate world. "ROLL TIDE!"
It's tantamount to having George Steinbrenner and the Yankees.
Buy me a winner and I'll be a great coach/manager.
All true, I will give him credi fot utilizing booster money well and changing with the times from a run first offense to an offense highlighting the passing game.
Also, AL had many years of middling success until Saban.
He did very well at Michigan State and LSU before Alabama.
I believe he is a very good coach, but has benefited greatly from getting the Alabama boosters involved with the program.
I agree, somewhere in the middle lies the truth.
Just because he was a horrible coach in the pros doesn’t mean he is or was horrible coach in college. Heck he isn’t even the only coach in the SEC right now who was bad/horrible in the pros but at least pretty good as college coach. In both football and basketball you have guys who were at least really good at one and bad at the other. Not everyone is Pete Carroll who has won at least one championship at both levels (and he had to go to college and win to get another chance in the pros).
Yes, booster money helped Saban in many ways but you still have to be able to coach. Alabama is still a great program the difference is things have shifted to Athens because of style and now with NIL, the talent is being distributed a lot more evenly and you are seeing a lot more non-traditional schools making appearances in the top 20 and pulling off upsets.
Saban has won at every college he has coached however, he has to be careful that he is not at the beginning of entering a phase that some long time coaches (whether in years coached, at a certain program or in age or any combination of the three) when it becomes harder to adjust or adapt and you can’t figure out what to do and it just spirals to something that ends rather ugly, we are seeing that at Clemson now and saw it play out to ur former foe in basketball upstate.
