I understand.. I'm almost to that point also.
Just tired of this "Amateur" sports crap. I played college ball and received a FCS football scholarship and I know, firsthand, the whole circuit is a minor league for the NFL and CFL. Just call it what it is and pay the damn players.

If they get slammed with sanctions and 2011 and 2012 vacated, I'm done with college football. So tired of all the selfishness, from boosters, agents and players. I was already starting to hate it. So disappointed. frick Fluker and Davis.


This. And I won't even be that mad. It's just so draining. I know life isn't fair but for Christ's fricking sake either do something to punish the agents and get them out of college or go sit on a dick.

It's like sticking a stripper in your sons room and getting mad he fricked her. Then making your wife move out even though she had no idea or ties to the situation. And yeah, I realize how weird that analogy was, that's how fricked up the agent shite is.

Pay a kid 100k to be your QB..yeah frick you deal with the punishment. But agents pimping a few poor kids in college is hardly cheating. Ok yeah, I'm pissed.

ETA: If Alabama gets crushed I'm gonna have to resort to gambling on games to be interested...FML.

That is actually a perfect analogy for the NCAA's stance on sports agents.

Some of you need to relax. We won't get hit with anything as long as we haven't covered anything up.

This is why I have grown to hate "fluff" pieces pertaining to college football. Personal triumph stories are rarely what they seem. Cynical, but that's reality. Too much money involved.

Idk about this though. Didn't Ingram and Julio get to pay back their fishing trip money because it was under 1000 dollars? Fluke might have seen some serious money. You play an ineligible player and sorry, you don't win that game.

I'd be surprised if anything comes from this. The NCAA can make too much money off of Bama right now. If they do, well tough shite for us I guess. It's stupid that the NCAA exists anyway.

Unless the sources out themselves, which is their way of living as well to the NCAA. I just don't know what they can do.

With knowledge that the player is ineligible. If we did not know, then acted once we found out then we're good.

USC knew about Reggie, Ohio State knew about tattoogate, Penn State knew about the molestations, etc, etc..

Doesn't matter how much chest thumping these other teams fans do, if we didn't have knowledge we'll get a minimal punishment if that. If DJ was still playing he would be suspended. That is all. Just like with AJ Green and UGA.

For instance if JFF were found guilty they wouldn't put the A&M on probation unless they hid something or had prior knowledge. They didn't, JFF wouldn't talk (neither would any other parties), so NCAA couldn't touch the school and all they could do was suspend JFF for a half.

Alabama athletics director Bill Battle released the following statement.

"We have been aware of some of the allegations in today's story and our compliance department was looking into this situation prior to being notified that this story was actually going to be published. Our review is ongoing. We diligently educate our student-athletes on maintaining compliance with NCAA rules, and will continue to do so."

Put it like this, there is a reason Saban kept highlighting that our current player(s) don't have any involvement.

Why? If our current player(s) did then NCAA could try to revoke our first win and ban the player(s) for future games. No current player is involved so the program is unaffected, especially considering the fact there is no information shown which proves we had prior knowledge and attempted to hide anything.


You guys should relax. Just sit back and watch those other teams fans laugh it up and pray that finally Saban will be gone. He won't be, we'll be fine and they'll be still angry.

Yeah let's be real. The NCAA has nothing they can do from the looks of it. If we're being honest with ourselves, plenty of players on the team over the past few years have probably broken some sort of stupid NCAA rule, but you'll find the same thing at Michigan, you'll find the same thing at LSU, at Oklahoma, at Texas, etc.
