Another 7 years of Satan

I mean Saban @ Bama it seems

The stone that broke the back of amateur athletics was the original contract given to Satin by Alabama. 10 times the correct salary for a college football coach, of course the players want to be paid. Now that they are being paid the elimination of amateur athletics is just over the horizon.

Citing Saban’s contract as the primary reason players are now being paid is akin to saying someone’s morbid obesity was caused primarily by the donut they ate for breakfast yesterday.

@Mose Phillip's Watch I just read this:

Putting Saban’s new $84.8 million contract into context

This is crazy money! I did see a mini-documentary about 5/6 years ago where it said his actual value to bama was something extremely high, like four or five times his actual bring home dollars.

Didn't say it was the primary reason, already the patient was heavy. It was the breaking point which opened the floodgate on overpaying coaches while giving the players nothing (on the table anyway). What coach is worth 7 million dollars? Only a coach who brings in huge revenues for himself and the school without any labor cost!

Where are the player haters, NIL haters, stuck in the 50s people to say, "But he'll have to pay taxes on that......"

Instead they’re blaming his contract for getting the NIL

Yeah as if the exponential growth of media rights revenue over the past 35 years wasn’t the driving force behind NIL and big time money for coaches like Saban and Fisher.

If Saban would’ve stayed with the Dolphins, the SEC would’ve lost its edge, tanked, and Arkansas would’ve bolted back to the Big XII. The Mississippi schools and LSU would’ve followed simply in a panic attack. Big XII wouldn’t have drawn SEC ratings, because let’s face it, the SEC just means more. College football would’ve tanked and would’ve brought down even mighty ESPN.

He won’t finish that contract

Tebow would have gone to Iowa.

If he doesn’t die or have serious health issues, he’ll absolutely coach that long. Probably even longer.

99% of the "I hate the current state of college football" talk on this site is driven by the fact that Tennessee stinks and Alabama is awesome. Mostly because Tennessee stinks.
