Trent Richardson Played Role Of Leonard Fournette On Alabama's Scout Team

If anyone can simulate a 2 yard average it's Trent Richardson

We couldn't do that, because our best former players have to prepare for Sundays.

How is that legal???????

how the hell is this not illegal?

College Football is out of control. Coaches and former players should not be allowed to practice. It is a competitive advantage for those schools with good former players. Can you pay guys to have extra players practice? Scholarship limits are suppose to keep things competitive. Also not what college athletics is suppose to be about. We can't pay players who generate millions of $$$ for the school. But if former players want to practice for free be my guest! Each Big Ten School will generate over 35 Million dollars in revenue from the conference alone starting in 2018. Remember when Jim Delaney said they would go Division III if they had to pay players? Laughable! Over signing, poor treatment of players, and rules like this make me think college football is headed in the wrong direction.

I didn't know that was legal, NCAA wise. Interesting.

Trent doing everything he can to be relevant again. Back to Bama, the only time he was worth a sh!t.

It might be legal but it's completely unethical.

Wow man, Saban is so far ahead of everyone else it hurts.

Wait...what? You can practice with former pros?

What the hell else did he have to do that day?

I didn't know that was legal, NCAA wise. Interesting.

unbelievable. that's illegal. they can't have a summer job, but the ncaa allows NFL guys to practice with them. who makes the rules?

Im surprised Harbauugh didnt come up with this first.

Damn. Wish LSU could get Michael Brockers, Kevin Minter, Mingo, Dorsey and Montgomery on a scout team.

For all the TL;DRing out there... "Tide coach Nick Saban said after that game that Alabama got clearance from both the SEC and NCAA to use a former player on its scout team. Former NFL star running back Marshawn Lynch served as a scout team running back for his alma mater, California, earlier this season. "We try to stay on top of the rules," Saban said in late October. "We have people in our administration who do a good job of letting us know what we can and can't do and we would never do something like that unless we got it approved by the SEC office, which we did, and the NCAA."

Who cares about this gump?

Imagine this becoming an NFL alternative to help players who already graduated continue practicing to get to the league. A team with enough money, aka Bama, fielding a scout team entirely made up of former Bama athletes and NFL players. Lol you know Tebow is already excited about returning to Florida to relive his glory days.

And I can go ahead and guess what will stop this one day...a severe injury and ex-player sues University.

Really really really disgusting with what 80- 90 players you have to stoop that low to have a couple of washed up former players to simulate another team players .
