The story I heard was that 2 days later, 30 or so guys went into Saban’s office and demanded a raise
There is a reason that NFL teams hire GMs specifically for this shite

NS said about 70 or so wanted to know about playing time and money. So it sounded like more than a handful. Check out the portal guys and I assume it was them.

That’s crazy. Say goodbye to college football. This is now pro ball

This is what college football is all about right now. Until they (NCAA) set some boundaries, BAMA better pony up their NIL game or get left behind. Coach Saban, the recruiting magnet to Alabama is gone now and let's be honest, not many kids will come to Alabama, for Alabama.....those days are gone! There might still be a few that will, but not near enough to be where we used to be.

From what I heard, Bond was the worst of the ones showing their asses and wanting a raise. Also heard he was gone even had Saban not retired.
Saban was all for equity except when it came to on field preformance. The only two mitigating factors to help with boost over on field preformance were seniority (for those who did the work over time) and coachability (doing and adjusting to "the right way - Saban's way with the right attitude).
He was a social liberal and a preformance conservative.

Bond didn't transfer until after Saban left. The portal had already closed at that point, before Saban retired and it opened back up.

The quote from Saban about players showing their arses specifically referred to angry behavior in the locker room immediately after the Rose Bowl loss.
I found it to be a bizarre comment and was seemingly disconnected from the rest of his quotes (which focused on NIL and the state of college football today). I find it hard to believe that there weren’t plenty of players across his career that threw their helmets or were fighting mad after a terrible loss like the one in January.

My guess is the players were showing their arse to the offensive coaching staff.

The NCAA is powerless here. The courts keep ruling against them.

America has been fricked after 2020... including college football.

Eh, the movement against the NCAA in the courts has been brewing over a generation. People think of caselaw as something like spoken from God but it's largely just a combination of petty factional alignment, ideological commitments, and being a wind vane of public opinion.
I'd liken what has happened with the NCAA conception of amateurism in the courts to gay marriage. For decades, the courts mostly stayed on the sidelines on the issue or defer to the states but then public opinion moved so favorably in one direction that they take a case made for the justices to riff on and make what was obvious also legal. That's essentially how Obergefell and Alston worked out.
Obergefell offered an opportunity to rule on something that is ideological consensus between the prevailing camps - the federal governments right to protect privacy - that also fits within the prevailing social temperament that we stay out of each other's business and let people be happy insofar it doesn't negatively impact others.
Alston is similar in that it allowed for athletic amateurism to be viewed through a free market economy lens that is broadly a cross-party consensus but it also allowed them to rule in favor of something that was already a popularly held opinion that the players deserve more than just a scholarship when they play sports that generate billions for learning institutions and commercial interests each year.

How the hell we went from finding out which players to NCAA conversations?

Nah, let's get back on topic.

I called this a day or two after Saban quit, I have first cousins who work at the campus, I was born in Druid City Hospital. But I got downvoted like crazy. LOL.
No one is interviewing a WR coach in the morning and retiring later that night.

According to Next Round, Dallas Turner was one of the worst. Dunnaway was on the field so I think he would know.

I don't think it was the coaching staff. Seth got lit up for sure, maybe a few other players. I'd be shocked if Milroe didn't get murdered by Bond for having 100 passing yards

Yep, the Covid Plandemic changed America in ways that not even 9-11-01 did. It's a line of demarcation akin to B.C. and A.D.
