re: Respect for Saban as a coach, but he's a hypocrite when it comes to pay for play!

It's the epitome of hypocrisy for someone who was making north of TEN MILLION dollars a year to lecture us about paying student athletes.

$15,000,000 staffs to lead an extracurricular activity at an institute of higher learning doesn't really jive with the spirit of college sports or amateurism either - but coaches sure as hell don't have a problem with that.

It is a lot easier to sympathize with Johnny Fivestar when his coaches are making millions off his back, would recruit a better player to replace him in a heartbeat if his play were subpar, and would leave him and the rest of the team high and dry for another dollar at any time.

I keep seeing this term. "NIL is not sustainable!" "The transfer portal is unsustainable!"

Alabama, Georgia, LSU, etc., will all have 85+ players next year, and millions of people are still going to watch all the games. And the new playoff system will be a huge draw.

There will be a few hurt feelings over players transferring out, and fans realizing players are more concerned about money than jumping on a grenade for their program. But in the end, there will still be exciting and profitable games being played.
