I mean, this isn't slavery.


You think slavery is giving someone housing, good education, free meals, free travel to good destinations, access to tudors, free clothes, the best medical care available and all they have prepare/play a game for 20 hours a week.


You are making a proposition to disallow a 19 year old from going to college where he wants to go to college.

Why should anyone tell a 19 year old where he or she can attend college?
Does that EVER happen for general population?
It is a ridiculous proposition.
The gaul to even propose such a thing? Wow

Slavery is strong language.
The language isn't the point.
Do you preferred indentured servitude?

As for history, slavery had been around since civilizations began and still exists in forms around the world. Read a history book. It is bigger (and worse) than just the brief footnote of US History.

NIL is good as it allows the players who generate revenue to get paid. 


No... NIL as it's being use is bad and allows players to get paid for play vs playing for a school, and getting money for their name, image amd likeness.

2022 UGA’s defense ranked 53rd in pass defense.

I think you know exactly how it would play out against the 2019 LSU offense.




This is a really bad take. You don't know until they play, and they can't play. Would it be accurate to find a Nebraska 1995 Nebraska (or someone similar) that did not allow hardly any passing yards and say it's easy to see they would beat LSU?

It's just lazy speculation.

Agree with every single point.

I do think NIL needs some firmer guidelines but the players getting some money is ok.

Deserving or better? Do we choose deserving or better that is the question. If you choose deserving then you get what happened with GA and TCU. Nobody wants to see that.

they are not disallowed from going to a college of their choice, but if they wish to break their contract, which is what a full ride scholly is, then they must pay a penalty and sit out a year.

The sitting out a year also curtails the rampant tampering we have now with instant play transfers with massive NIL offers...will it stop it? No, but players knowing they will have to sit out a year will make them think really hard if the transfer is worth it and coaches will have to focus more on the high school kids which is where it needs to be when it comes to recruiting.

I think the portal should be reserved for upperclassmen only. You shouldn’t be able to commit as a freshman then leave because you didn’t start as a freshman.

This. Freshman fleeing adversity is ridiculous.

So... your theory is that UGA really was as good as they played against bad teams rather than good teams? Rather than think UGA was sleepwalking through easy games... instead you think that was really how good UGA was and the UGA team that destroyed better teams was "fake"?


No...my theory is that great teams don't sleepwalk through games or have to use that as an excuse as to why a way inferior team almost beat them...moron

I've been saying this for over a year.
I don't call a mandatory redshirt a punishment. But whatever. Semantics.
It originally read that they shouldn't be permitted to leave. Lol.
And scholarships are essentially daily contracts which expire in January. Don't put too much emphasis in the strength of the word "contract". They are easy to void and pro-rate.

Here is 2022 UGA.

We don't run the same gameplan for each opponent.
We don't run the same 7 play offense that you see at Clemson, Tennessee, Miss St, Malzahn, etc..

When facing a Samford or Kent, we are actually repping plays that we may need in the future. It isn't a race to 60 points. It is a race to improve and diversify the offense (either switching from zone to power, switching from play action to RPO, switching personnel with the 1s to build depth).

Why would a team want loser fans across the division to accuse us of being less than?
So we can score 35 points in the first half of the conference championship game in any fashion needed.

So we can score 24 points on 306 yards in the first half when we play the #1 team in the country.

So we can score 18 points in the 4th quarter on 190 yards passing in the Peach Bowl on the 2nd most talented team in the country.

So we can score 38 points on 354 yards in the first half of the national championship game.

Have you ever heard the phrase that styles make fights?
Well, we are Bruce fricking Lee.
We are like water.
And we get our 9 underclassmen starters (don't even bother to ask about our 2 deep underclassmen that get almost equal reps to our starters) to play a different style of football each week and sometimes each half so we can knockout the important opponents needed and to be playing important games in January.

It is called coaching.
What does running the same 7 plays all season that crushed Oregon and South Carolina do for us in December and January. It gets us 1 dimensional. And that is why Tennessee fails. That is why Ole Miss fails. That is why A&M fails. That is why LSU failed in 2022.
