Nick Saban is coming across as a whiny bitch right now, as he always does, but will then concede to the rules and find a way for it to benefit Alabama.

How can you brag about the NIL deal for Bruce Young, through the media, while then crying about TAMU taking advantage of the rules?

Unreal.

Also, let’s not act like Alabama players haven’t been getting crazy illegal benefits all these years anyways.

Thanks for not exposing the cheating and allowing Bama to win 6 NCs.

This is so great on multiple levels. We all know pay&M paid out of their arse for recruits, but Saban has lost his mind. He's been paying players and cheating since he was at LSU. This is completely out of character for him.

Because those two things are completely different.

Some of you need to do some serious research on NIL.

They’ll have the Aggie’s for what exactly??
There are no guidelines. They can do basically whatever they want.., and I promise you Alabama is getting money to players.. they just prefer to hide it.. and that’s the problem . Bama was good at keeping everything silent in Tuscaloosa.. but now any school can make a deal and not have to worry about it..

A&M was 1st in recruiting because we beat Bama on the field.

We hosted top talent for that game. The rest is a cascading effect.

NIL potential is significant at A&M because of the alumni base.

Saban squealing is glorious, we can use that video to recruit vs. Bama. See “dey broke.”

Saban is done. Jimbo proved it. Kirby too.

I guess Nick has had enough. He apparently realized until people speak up nothing is going to change. I hope others follow his lead

Saban: We were 2nd in recruiting last year. A&M was first. A&M bought every player on their team. Made a deal for name, image and likeness. We didn’t buy one player.
Saban is beginning to sound more and more like Barry Switzer, who when asked if Oklahoma cheats, famously said, "We don't need to cheat, we're Oklahoma."

Next thing you know, Oklahoma is on probation for cheating.

However, gathering money for NIL is one area Alabama won’t be able to compete with Texas A&M





The fricking arrogance of Texans never ceases to amaze me. We aren’t trying to pool together money to buy Tesla or Amazon. We’re talking about 25 high school football players. If you think Bama boosters can’t dig 10 million dollars out of their couch cushions for the sake of the football program then you epitomize naïveté. Unless y’all start throwing ungodly amounts of money around, then everyone can compete with Aggie on the NIL front. Better hope you get your magic in while you’re ahead is the message here. We can all catch up in a year if y’all want to play it this way. Aggie might have a shite load of money, but everyone else worth a shite has enough to play this game. Don’t be fooled son. 18 trophies don’t end up in the case by sitting idly by and investing money in slow growth stocks. All Saban has to do is ask and the money will flow in as fast as that oil comes out of that dry Texas dirt.

Everyone cheats.

I think it's odd that a lot of Aggies on this board are trying to pretend that they don't.

Just own it.

You don’t see the difference in an enrolled athlete getting endorsed (how the rule was intended) vs paying high school recruits in exchange for their signature? I understand you loathe Alabama little brother, but try to form a coherent thought on the matter. Imagine this is Dana Holgerson making these comments and see how you feel.

What’s Bama done that everyone else isn’t doing? Let’s hear it, or should we “keep it down home, cuz”Again, there’s a difference between skirting the rules and blatantly ignoring them. It’s why Ole Miss got hammered, and it’s why aTm is in the crosshairs.
