Living in Texas and follow the Aggies. Their alumni told me that tu (U of Texas) had raised between $20 and $30 Million, so the Aggies were challenged to raise over $30 Million (headed to $40 Million) for NIL recruits. They plan on paying out every year....

It was not surprising when it was announced that Jimbo had the cash to land the #1 recruiting class. Oklahoma, Ok State, and others are in the same boat, they have all been competing with Texas and TAMU for decades on the recruiting trail, and they have all been busted, or executed like SMU.

I am sure that the Aggies followed the NIL rules, but it was still alumni money funneled through Car Dealers, stores, and other advertising channels. If the NCAA does not regulate funneling money to players like this, some schools will accept their new role as farm teams for the NFL. Clemson will not fall in that category, because we are a small school (graduates, and alumni) comparted to some of our giant competitors (including the coots). Alabama will even have problems keeping up with the money that Ohio State, Michigan, TAMU, Texas, and others will be able to raise.

Dabo was right from the beginning and getting attacked by the sports press. Now Saban agrees with Dabo, but Nick can say anything and be revered for his insight and wisdom. Best thing we can do about NIL, is win a championship this year! That would be awesome, AGAIN!

In the meantime, Texas, TAMU, Ohio State, Michigan..... will continue to try to buy one!

Good observation ... 18 year old kids have (at least some components of) adult status.

Not so with 17 year olds.

Jimbo referencing his recruits as 17 year olds makes him look like the adopted daddy of these kids.

Re: So Jimbo is saying they used NIL for all of their recruits…

No Saban says they used it the correct way and did not use it to recruit. He also came out in an interview and said how much his QB was getting and that is using it to recruit whether he likes it or not.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Maybe, but there is a bit of difference IMO


May 19, 2022, 4:46 PM

It may be semantics to some extent, but I think A@M raised the money beforehand and basically offered the recruits x amount of money up front to play there whereas Saban and his staff likely presented the kids with the NIL opportunities they would have if they chose to play at Alabama.

Jimbo: "Play at A&M and we have 1mil a year already set aside for you."

Saban: "Play at Bama and you will have the opportunity to make 1mil a year like Bryce Young."

Saban vs Jimbo drama escalates to everyone snitching on each other in the SEC.

The NCAA, wanting to show it still has a pair, shocks the world & comes down on them all, leaving overwhelming majority of the teams ineligible for postseason play & SEC title for at least a couple years.

Vanderbilt (obviously the most clean program in the entire league) and Mississippi State (probably the cleanest in the west), despite sub-.500 records, trade SEC titles & Sugar Bowl berths for a couple years

I just hope that it isn't this coming season.

Both times that a Dabo led team has won the Natty, it was against the second baddest team in the country, and that was a Saben led Bama team, and the country expects the best two teams to play for the King of the Hill Spot!!!!

Fisher continually referenced 17 year-old kids, their families and broken laws. I watched what Saban said, he wasn't attacking the 17 year-old kids and their families. Also, not sure he even insinuated broken laws. He did reference the short comings of NIL and the difficult position the NCAA was in. He accused Texas A&M of buying their class. If Jimbo has an ounce of credibility to him, he will disclose how many total dollars were paid to the 2022 class via collectives. And then he needs to be asked if he personally introduced/aligned/disclosed terms between those collectives and the recruits.

Until I hear more, I am with Saban on this one. These news conferences Jimbo puts together on NIL makes him look even worse than saying no comment.

Sounds like Jimbo doesn't like getting called out for exactly what he is doing. Is it illegal? No and Saban didnt say it was. Paying a bunch of minors big money to come play for you is how he got the #1 ranked class, perhaps of all time. Jimbo should either own it and stop whining like somebody stole his lunch money or he shouldn't do it. Seems like he's protesting a bit too much. The reality is that I'm sure he would rather get players to come there because they love him or the university but if it is no more than a business transaction where the players see nothing but dollar signs then Jimbo needs to make peace with that and stop feigning outrage when everybody else notices whats happening.

......... as we knew it.

Those players for A&M might get their money and leave a year later old Nicky!

Once they have it; to my knowledge unless there are contracts involved; they can simply leave! What's stopping them?

So, get paid. Then go to the school that can best get you ready for the NFL!

Said it for a long time to the crowd that use to say: "bh, bha college players play for the love of the game and not money so I like it better"!

Pah, lease! They have in some regard always played for the money. Or the potential of getting it one day in the Pro league. Don't be fooled or choose to look the other way.

That's why Nicky Satan has done so well; because of his reputation of getting players to the league. Now, he has to deal with something beyond his control like other coaches.
Bimbo Fisher is the most disgusting coach in CFB period. I don't care for Satan or Saban; but Saban here is correct. They bought that #1 class! No question.

You could see a guy like CJ Spiller go from homesick freshman to loving Clemson as much or more than any of us, and today that guy would have just transferred to Florida for more $$$ and played immediately. Clemson and Dabo still do things the "right way," for now but it will be adapt or cease to compete soon. Guess I'm the old codger now, but the magic is just...gone.

or at least unrecognizable as the sport I first fell in love with. I get there was always a bit of a lie to the "love of the game" talking point, but at least players felt like they had a real connection to the University. You could see a guy like CJ Spiller go from homesick freshman to loving Clemson as much or more than any of us, and today that guy would have just transferred to Florida for more $$$ and played immediately. Clemson and Dabo still do things the "right way," for now but it will be adapt or cease to compete soon. Guess I'm the old codger now, but the magic is just...gone.



I'm right there with you!!!!

We might just be the: "GOMLYK" (get off my lawn you kids) but, that connection as you said to the school across the chest of the player is lost now! Now, it's not about proving the way we do things and the things we stand for are better: "it's this school pays more or this school is a better avenue to the league"!

I use to be able to just watch CFB no matter who was playing non-stop because I liked the pageantry and hype. Now, a bunch of that has left me. It's different with the portal and NIL. "NO loyalty" and much more "me first"!

Jimbo is exaggerating, but Nick does have a house on Mt. Sinai in Tuscaloosa.

This makes me think of a quote by Charles Barkley from a while back "Bama accusing Auburn (or A&M in this case) of cheating is like Snooki telling Halle Berry she is ugly."

Well, it looks to me like Saban started this with his comments. Bama is using the NIL but is not effective as Ags and Saba is ticked. Hopefully, this whole money for play thing will be gone soon.

Well didn't they buy the #1 recruiting class by the way of the NIL, and the added extras they worked within the rules?
