Why? Because people are taking bama recruits and thats not allowed?


No, there are a multitude of problems with what we’re currently seeing.

First, when a coach is fired, quits, or retires, the portal window opens for all players on the roster for 30 days, but the school is only allowed to rebuild their roster from players currently in the portal. Since this typically happens outside of the normal portal window, this means the school is pretty much handcuffed and unable to rebuild their rosters until the Spring portal window, which doesn’t open until after spring practice.

This is largely why Brian Kelly had to go through an entire offseason and spring with what amounted to the equivalent of severe NCAA recruiting sanctions and why Washington will enter spring practice this year with probably 1-2 players remaining from their starting 22.

Second, there are no regulations, caps, or rules on how much collectives can pay for recruits. That price will continue to increase in an arms race. Here’s some news for you - that’s not good news for the Auburns of the world. Texas, Texas A&M, Oregon, etc. will be setting the market value. The only thing protecting the rest of us is the scholarship limit.

Bama had a hell of a ride, cheating without consequences. Now "cheating" is allowed for everyone and your competitive advantage is gone. Get bent bama fans.


fricking cope.

Maybe your coach shouldnt lie to recruits to get them signed, then abandon them after early signing day.

NCAA didn't care and Gumptards laughed.

Now that its happening to the Gumps, it's all of a sudden a problem.

And I didn't know of one LSU fan that said "the rules must changed". You all laughed at LSU.

Edit: you guys are seriously spoiled, man.

take boosters out of the equation and NIL would actually reflect market value for NIL. Their activities have always been regulated and scrutinized, right? (i don't know the nuances admittedly). Strict pay for play is still not allowed, right?

it is now very hard to even pretend many players actually give a crap about the school the fans love and who finance the sport. at least before NIL i could pretend. Bama is a perfect illustration of how attached players are to their respective schools.

I know i'm old, old school but i'd take the old prohibitions with a NCAA or some entity with enforcement powers and true market value NIL than this shite show, no matter whose oxe is getting gored now.

why? i truly believe the sport is in danger. My first game in TS was in 1959 and I bought season tickets with my first post-graduation pay check, and i'm getting a sickning feeling about the future of CFB.

But none of those problems were an issue for you until now. This isn’t new, you’re just on the wrong end of it now.

Do you see where this comes across as whining because the shoe is on the other foot now?

Because that’s exactly what you and the rest of bama nation are doing. It wasn’t an issue before but NOW…. NOW this HAS to be fixed.

Keep crying.

And then beat Alabama and won the West in year one. Stop whining, if you hired the right coach, you'll be fine.
