Does this mean we will stop getting 5* recruits and winning the conference?
No it just means that when they do win it, the national perception will be that the bad guys won.
If you're a bama fan, you probably don't care and if you're not it just makes it more fun to root for you to get beat.

Welcome to 2015. So you argument is that this is not a topic because it was more acceptable in the past. Even then it was not and is not a misdemeanor. The law has not changed in Georgia or Alabama. It is not the same as smoking a little weed or public intoxication. Wasn't 9 months ago and certainly is not now.
More press, sure, but it was a thug thing 10 minths ago and a thug thing now n

of course haley and chavis would recruit him. One was forced to move on, the other demoted to getting coffee until we could find a program dumb enough to have him. Looks like a couple rogue employees that LSU quickly dumped.

LSU did not extend an offer to Taylor

We're all missing the relevant point.
Saban reached and Saban knew he reached.
He obviously doesn't feel very good about his D-line for 2015 to do something so out of character and desperate.
We have bama on the road and so even with our best O-line in years, we probably can't win because bama is in our heads,
but it should be giving a lot of encouragement to teams like Georgia, maybe a&m or lsu.

Relevance to Taylor assaulting women as a representative of the University of Alabama?

You know anyone with mod powers can edit that? It just takes Lucky or Charles Powers to add an LSU offer after Taylor said LSU gave him an offer (we all know offers aren't what they were 10 years ago, if they were Alabama would be over signing 200 kids).
Sonny and Shea were adamant for months that he wasn't offered "yet" and it upset a lot of fans. When he committed to Alabama the pitch forks came out.
It was said he would commit to LSU if an offer to sign was presented, I believe his uncle was quoted on that

quote:this isn't out of character for Saban. He has been a hired gun for a long time, and he has always been about winning at all cost. He is usually pretty good at judging the risk and keeping control. He reaches from time to time. This might have been the farthest he reached because of the arse whipping handed to him by the tosu oline.

Sabans media management and pr is almost as good as his recruiting prowess.

Not one ounce of relevance. But plenty of programs were willing to give him a third chance. It blew up in Alabama's face. Maybe, just maybe, this will stop everyone from giving in to a kid's athletic talents and overlooking their transgressions.

Alabama really does have a disgusting approach to things.
They will do damn near anything to keep their football team up there.
It's the entire foundation of their program: win...at all costs.

By all means, enlighten the SECR faithful on how anything LSU has done holds a candle to Alabama's tradition of doing anything it takes to win.

Alabama took a foolish chance on Taylor for one reason. After watching Ohio State's offensive line push around his defensive line in a 42-35 loss in the semifinals of the College Football Playoff, Saban wanted to make sure it didn't happen again.
Ohio State manhandled that DLine so bad the Tide have to get thugs and criminals to play for them....Urbz fault!

Is it? There have been a few in the news lately but the overwhelming majority of players have not been arrested for DV.
Would be interested to know how the percentage of NFL players arrested for it compared to the general population
I think that is a very fair point that seems to get lost in transition. Domestic violence is a societal issue not a sports one.
