how do you dress yourself in the morning?
I don't think players should be paid. But since that is the system currently in place, I would rather us do well in it and succeed rather than suck at it.
This isn't difficult to follow if you have any type of reading comprehension.

Sounds like Pittman is not cut out to be an SEC head coach.

The era of players driving this sport has dawned. If you don’t like that, then let uga know you are no longer going to support them & go get some Georgia State gear. Otherwise, welcome to modern college football and enjoy the professional football players bought and paid for on your current roster.

Name the friends and what they did in the "recruiting dept" (whatever that means) and name the schools.

BTW how in the world do you have so many "friends" who happen to work in "recruiting depts" at other SEC schools.

Of course not but Nakobe bought off for
300k? Complete bullshite. His Dad's a doctor and he's a 3.5 engineering student...not your average recruit who grew up in the hood with his hand out.

When do we get to cut a guy for dropping too many passes or failing to make the 2-deep by his sophomore year, or hurting his knee? When can we trade this professional athlete to another team for someone else? Can we take his money away if he breaches his contract? Can we sue the shite out of him in such cases? Tack on punitive damages?
Being a pro athlete is a lot more than just cashing a check. There's a host of other responsibilities and consequences of being a grown arse pro athlete. Most of them are not good. Really, only the getting paid part is the good part. Everything else that goes with it, in a fair meritocracy and capitalist system, is negative. For those that don't eventually end up making millions in the NFL, the consequences of that professionalism in college don't outweigh the benefits of amateurism.

I'm aware that there's recruiting administrators, multiple analyst and then assts that are assigned territories/athletes...not recruiting "departments" What exactly were their supposed titles?

So your little circle of college friends all just happen to start off in "recruiting departments" in the same time frame at various SEC schools? Did they play CFB? Skip the GA route? Didn't coach HS? What an amazing coincidence.What are the odds?

When fournette opted out of the bowl, it was a sign of things to come. Yes it is a business decision, and a lot of these kids come from nothing. But to know that the school, the uniform, the fight song…etc means nothing to these kids is depressing.

He’s setting up an excuse when people realize he can’t coach like Coach O.

The NCAA sat back and did nothing.
I'd say just the opposite. The NCAA did everything they could, including violating basic anti-trust law, to keep every thin red dime for themselves. And thus, by trying to control it all, they lost it all.
Pretty much every major college you can think of that wasn't in the Big10 or Pac8, back in the day, took the NCAA to court over the exact same issue ... and won. We called it the College Football Alliance. It was about basic freedom of economics. Could schools negotiate their own television deals - or did the NCAA have the right to control it all. The NCAA lost, on basic anti-trust principles.
And every day since then, the same debate went down one step lower - to the players. Basically, could a player profit from his own labor ? Coaches could. Schools could. It was determined that everybody could, including the folks on the concourse selling concessions ... except, somehow, the player.
I'm surprised it took this long, to be honest.

Sure thing Tit Boss. We will take Jalen Catalon in the mean time since he’s available now.
