Saban simply wants to retain the edge he has on some schools. Let’s be honest here most programs were cheating in some capacity especially in our conference; Bama, Florida, Georgia, Auburn, Ole Miss, Tennessee, etc all of those schools have paid players or given illegal benefits to conduce players to come to their school. Bama has just been better at it than most.Saban has lost respect from me as a person.
I’ve said all along that he’s the best College Football Coach of all time but he’s become the biggest hypocrite when it comes to NIL.
After losing out on Nico due to not wanting to get into a “bidding war” with Tennessee, sealed the deal for me.
He’s done this under the table since he’s been at Bama but since it’s legal now, he doesn’t agree with it.
Can’t have it both ways.
Yes, very.A little misleading ain't it?
On3 said:BREAKING: University of Colorado AD and others who wish to remain unnamed are complaining about NIL.
If they had their way, the NCAA would stop running scared of the courts and set rules limiting NIL. The complainers want the new NIL guidelines to be retroactive, too. Colorado wishes guidelines would be published next week.
It is Obvious that the NCAA is way too Late to the NIL Party
In an afterthought their desire after the fact was to turn their Organization into one of more Power and Governance over College Athletics.
In contrast, The NCAA has never been organized to perform such a task nor has it been able to regulate, enforce, or administrate the tasks in it's own Charter currently.
Giving the NCAA the authority to do so will only increase and contribute to the problem resulting in more violations.
This is an Ad Hoc Organization, that can't even conduct a time investigation in a reasonable time frame. So why increase the workload and by doing so it will lead to an Epic Fail and business as usual
Inept is the best word to describe the NCAA.
It was a good thought many years ago but it has outlived its purpose and needs to be dissolved and restructured under a new Name.
I agree with everything you’ve said. I would say that the NCAA may not be replaced but it will be changed a great deal at the very least.The NCAA is controlled and administered by the College Presidents. At some point, the NCAA will be replaced. It might end up with multiple entities replacing by conferences or a group of conferences. BUT, whatever those organizations look like, they will be controlled and administered by the College Presidents. They will never give up that role. Emmert has always been controlled by Presidents. Sankey has always been controlled by Presidents. That will never change unless college athletics becomes something other than college athletics.

Makes it easier to get recruits if they think they are the only player at a position being offered.To be fair, Saban’s recruiting classes are always ranked that low early on over the last few years. He doesn’t pick it up until late summer and will fly up the rankings
And also get rid of scholarships.Pandora’s box is open. Don’t see them being able to close it. The only way i see them somewhat being able to regulate it is somehow the athletic department separated from the university and become a developmental league. The university signs a contract with the respective team to lease out their name “UT Vols” and the facilities. Then the team or league can develop their own rules to govern the salary cap etc. the university gets it money from the negotiated contract and it would be up to the athletic franchise to make its money and rules.
I think it will be less than all the P5s. More like the top 32/48/64 teams. The real money is in the top schools when it comes to football and basketball. Why create an association of 100 schools where 32/48 are really the ones bringing in the TV bucks.As it stands today the NCAA has little to no power anymore. I believe once the P-5 conference consolidations are completed they'll form their own governing body.

It's already no longer college athletics. You cannot call these players amateur athletes anymore. Plus if it is ever decided that these athletes are employees of the university and not merely student athletes, well there goes any academic requirements for these players. They may never have to sit in a classroom the entire time they play for the school. It will truly be minor league football at that point. Then you have to wonder, what's next to go? The 4 year eligibility rule? What if a player decides they'd rather play in these ranks beyond the 4 years because they are getting a better deal than what they would in the NFL? Are they going to change that rule too? Will college football eventually become the true competitor to the NFL?

"NIL" will not end the Saban dynasty, only Father Time will.
Commitments and signings mean nothing.
The clock starts when players are put on payroll.

The portal and NIL have dynamically changed the rules and if you’re the best coach in the country with the old rules you for sure don’t want them to change.

I’m certain they could gin up some low bar degree -BS in football theory- and automatically enroll all of them.I don't ever see colleges in general having student-athletes as "employees". Colleges will not venture into that. Not enough schools would support that type environment to make it feasible.
At best you might see colleges allowing their "name" to be used for a fee to support a team of college aged athletes in a minor league type environment.
Just never see colleges involved in funding athletic programs where student-athletes are involved that are not also pursuing academic degrees.
