Can someone explain to me what "Bama processes their players" means, please?

We put them on a line, the sodium is removed from them, preserves are added, and then they are bottled.

When we over-sign, we have to make room for the new signees. This usually comes in the form of players transferring, grayshirting, or something else. That's called processing

It means they legally cut players by way of medical scholly...turn a blind eye to off the field issues for good players, while enforcing punishment on players that didn't pan out.

All a part of the process.

eta - if you're mad about the truth, down vote my post.

When Saban says "process" another Bama player loses his scholarship or starts to have heart problems.

It means we teach them to cheat, lie, steal, Tbag, and poison trees.

Allegedly...

They oversign, don't have cap space for them, evaluate them all on campus without actually giving them scholarships, then start revoking scholarships from kids who didn't live up to the hype, even though the kid didn't necessarily do anything wrong, and give that scholly to a new kid. Then greyshirt the other recruits who didn't evaluate well enough on campus, after it's too late for them to change their mind and go to another school, because it's after National Signing Day.

It is said the kids who got cut got "processed" in reference to a Nick Saban quote about "The Process" a couple years ago.



ETA_ it's all perfectly legal under NCAA rules, just kind of stretching the boundaries and making other schools have to do dirtier shite as well, just to keep up. There will probably be rules against this kind of thing in the next 5 years.

All the players Saban knows he is not going to use, he has Scott Cochran take them to a remote area and shoot them in the head. Processed.

Edit: Damn Narddog beat me to it.

im guessing you are referring to darius page there. at least use a player that we didnt actually want on campus, rather than one that we apparently moved heaven and earth and transcripts to get on campus (according to the Rant)

The Red Elephant Club. It's our mafia that Auburn (and now LSU) blames all of their shortcomings on

A bunch of old guys who have season tickets. They meet and talk about football and donate money.


It is an invite only deal.

You people are asking too many questions about things you don't need to know about.

The REC is the Red Elephant Club. They are a club of Alabama alumni that are responsible for paying off refs, fixing transcripts, ensuring certain alums are hired as SEC refs, and also making sure the SEC office is stocked with Alabama alumni.

I'm sure I missed some of their other duties.
