It’s pretty sad that the two teams in the championship both ponied up a lot of money to purchase star starters off of other teams. That’s what the sport has become, who will spend the most.

At least LSU has the integrity to not go that route.

Yep, just like it always has been... for SOME teams.

Ummm have you seen what LSU has done in the portal lately? And yes, that’s obviously what you need to do to make the championship game so I think we’re doing what we need to be doing. Playing the game the way it is now.

Yeah.

All those kids transferring to LSU are doing it solely out of the goodness of their heart.

Brian Kelly was lying when he said he would divert money from his own contract to fund NIL deals, too.

What are they suppose to do…let all these guys go to Georgia, Miami, or Oregon? We lost a qb that just set single season record for ACC that stood for over 00 years. Don’t we deserve to replace him?

Uh....I'd rather have it out in the open, than Alabama under the table.

As that Comedian said to Saban's face on Gameday...."SEC is pissed because now everyone can pay players ".

Strange reply from the fan of a school who had its best player purchased from one of the schools playing in the title game.

Everyone is doing it, but it sucks that the game has become more about who spends the most money.

Everyone was paying players before nil was ever thought of, you people think only a few teams were giving money under the table ? Come now

You haven’t heard? Only the SEC is criminal enough to buy players illegally.

You'd be an idiot not to go that route.

Yep. Brian Kelly went to LSU because he had a better chance of winning a championship, too.

Ok, I read it that Bama bought a player from OSU or ND.
