War Room II article on TI

Anybody read the headline article on TI today. Sure sounds like we had some inside info on an Ole Miss booster reaching out to Beverly "mother of the century" Nkemdiche. It talks about how she hadn't been there for years or even seen Denzel play in college. She basically came into the picture when Robert started getting all the press. Interesting to note that Adams gave silent verbals to us, Georgia, and Auburn but Lawson was the deciding factor.

I wonder if we'd have been better off if we hadn't even

tried to work Lawson late after the Auburn firings. Was the Clemson visit the first time Adams and Lawson met?

Worst part was apparently Adams was a silent commit to us for a while.

Beverly N is a classic politician. Had nothing to do with Denzel, but then grandstands with Robert because of his ranking. If he wasn't the #1 recruit she would have never shown her face in America. He hasn't seen her in years, and hadn't lived with his family since he was a boy.
What a hot stinking pile she is.

Auburn realized that they were losing Adams to us

and so they paid off his "handler" in the 11th hour. They did the same thing with Lawson's father when he was heavily considering Tenn and us moreso then Auburn. They've turned this into an art form.

if the NCAA does not hammer Ole Miss and Auburn then it's going to be a free for all the likes of which hasn't been seen since the Pony express.

teams have now, it's going to be the new normal for them to pay to get who ever they want.
now with the new restrictions on recruiting, more money for the SEC teams to spend on setting up departments to not only recruit but to make sure if recruiting can't get them they have someone to pay them.
These new TV contracts will forever change College Football unless the NCAA gets balls enough to stop it with major major major penalties for those caught paying the recruits, parents, or handlers.
someone needs to have the ability to check the checking account of Adams handler

really had any idea all of the stuff that goes on recruiting and in the locker room. The fact is there are certainly ways the NCAA could make recruiting far more transparent and better for the kids. It's not like they don't have the money or resources to enforce whatever they want. They choose not to do so.
It's kinda like our government with taxes. Plenty of states have been using flat sales tax in lieu of income tax for years with success. The US government chooses not to do so because a fuzzy cloud of tax codes let's those who want to cheat the system do it.

What works for a state doesn't always work for the federal gov't.

A nationwide sales tax is regressive, first of all, putting undue burden on the lower and middle class. Secondly, it incentivizes hoarding, which is terrible for the economy.

Why wouldn't it work for a federal gov't when it works for a state gov't? It's the same math right?

I agree with I would probably hate college football if we knew what actually went on in recruiting.

Agreed, but there are far worse programs in place already that take advantage of the lower class (lottery, etc). I, for one, am an advocate of a flat tax. Fair is fair.

Think the flat tax is a bad idea. You should pay the same tax % weather you make $1 or 1 million
