Question on numbers...We have 24 current commitments, and we are saying we can take 28 for sure, 29 possibly, even as many as 30.
Therefore my assumption would be if we take 28, we can take 4 more (Dean / Neal / Sopsher / To'oto'o)
If we can take 29 (Dean / Neal / Sopsher / To'oto'o / Battle)

However even today, the Heisman candidate QB and holder earn the same :dunno: so that wouldn't change.

I use $2,000 or $5,000 arbitrarily. Honestly have no clue how TV deals are shared between Universities, but whatever amount needs to be blanket across the division.

I don't see the issue in paying an appearance fee. You could argue its a flat fee across all Div 1 schools, a smaller fee for Div 2. Whether that is $2,000 or $5,000 a game, that is set by NCAA or Conferences. You see the field you get paid, irrelevant if you take one snap or 80.

I also worry that Saban uses Najee in the Bo role of smashing and wearing down the offense. Not saying Najee couldn't be that type of running back, but he inst necessarily going to always pick up big yards...

Posted by diggyson on 7/12/18 at 3:23 am
I'd compare him to other caoches, and successful coaches, someone like Alex Ferguson (Man Utd Manager), he was 71 when he retired. So i would expect another 4 to 5 years from Saban...

Think you also need to pay attention to the length of field Jalen had in this years Clemson game, which I seem to remember was relatively short, so he is never going to have to big numbers cause we were always starting close to half way.
Not saying I disagree with Jalens production, the number o...

It’s not been pretty, but we are controlling the lines.
Also, Clemson O has only run 26 plays. Last year they ran 99 totally in the game.
