Jimbo made that interviewer look like a stooge. He completely flipped that interview into his favor. Th reporter was trying to get a "gotcha" moment out of Jimbo and Jimbo got one out of him instead.
Wow.
Eternal optimism.

The real question should have been how many NIL deals have they tried to get approved.
Yeah, this is kind of the question.
Fact: Texas A&M paid for the #1 recruiting class. I don't think anyone would dispute this.
Dispute: It was done legally/illegally, under the new rules. I don't think anyone knows the answer to that. Not Saban, not Jimbo.
But, I don't fault A&M for doing it. Either it will never be looked into, or it will be years down the road and won't matter. They went all in as soon as possible. That was probably smart.

Jimbo says that of the 11 guys that are early enrollees only one guy has an NIL deal.

Did we watch the same interview? Jimbo lost his composure and the interviewer was trying to bring him back in.

No, that's the title of the video he linked.

A&M is kicking everyone’s arse in what everyone knew and said would happen with NIL and people are so damn eaten up with it they can’t accept it

Hugh Freeze 5/31/2016........
“There's a big difference between making mistakes in recruiting and going out there with the intent to cheat," Freeze said. "I don't have any information that anybody on my staff has been involved in any illegal payments to players or offering any inducements to players, and if I did have that information, I would fire them."

Because all of you say it is fact does not make it a fact. Here is a post dedicated to it.
Proof
Saying it is fact and not being able to prove it just makes you look like an arse-clown.
If I say hogfan is a midget queer who loves to have sex with pigs, does that make it a fact? I sure as hell can't prove it.

"It was written on social media," Fisher said to a KSAT reporter that aired Sunday night. "You got news channels (that) believed it. And you believed it."
Fisher continued his questioning and appeared to be bothered by the idea of his program "buying" recruits.
"I'm asking you," Fisher said. "Did you do your research? No, so you just assumed. And that's the way this world goes now. As soon as it's written on social media and someone says it, you believe it. So where does that put you guys as reporters? Nobody wants the truth. You want a story and a click and a hit."
Someone needs to tell Jimbo his fans that bragged about up up to signing day are the ones causing all the drama. The fans were the ones first reporting.

Except the claim came first from aggie fans bragging about it. So if not a fact than all aggie posters on this site are liars. Ok got it.

I like the way Jimbo turned the tables on the reporter and put him on the spot asking if he'd done any actual research on the topic. He looked him right in the eye and asked it he'd done any research other than what he'd read on social media. LOL That caught the guy completely off guard.
I'd also like to know who the folks in the background where that Jimbo had to wave off and tell "I'll take care of this!"

One of 2 things is likely to happen here.
1. NIL is allowed to continue the way A&M did it last year, everyone starts doing it, and schools like A&M find themselves back in the middle again.
2. Schools like A&M who used NIL to recruit will get heavily penalized and it will prevent schools from doing it A&M finds themselves back in the middle again...eventually.
Even with A&M taking advantages that other people did not take advantage of, they still barely had the #1 class, and their average was not the highest.

Media days can't get here fast enough . It's a travesty that Jimbo & Saban probably won't cross paths.

Sankey has already said most of what they see are not legit NIL deals, but are instead straight pay to play offers.
You know why he see's these? Because every NIL has to be approved.
So when Jimbo says "only 1 recruit has an NIL deal", he is probably telling the truth. The other 10 are probably having trouble getting theirs approved, so he can honestly say they do not have NIL deals even if they were used for recruiting.

Alabama didn't even start a collective until like 2 or 3 months ago, so that is obviously not the case.
Only 25 players @ Alabama have NIL deals, and they are all legit ones from existing players, not players who were recruited.
