Recall one of the things Nick Saban said when he retired: If this is happening at Alabama, then you can bet this is pretty much happening at other schools. Etienne admitted he wasn't going to be given the starting job. I am guessing that Unanmielen was probably also not guaranteed playing time...

‘The Death of College Sports Will Be Fast and Furious:’ The Scandal That Could Kill the NCAA

I often listen to Pat Dooley's Another Dooley Noted Podcast, which you can find on youtube. Robbie Andreu joins him often as does Steve Spurrier - usually once per week. Has lots of interesting guests.

Gorney: Coach Prime's excuses for not recruiting ring hollow

It's amusing to me how many people seem to be in competition to bash Napier and the program. He deserves some criticism, but I still maintain we don't know much about him and his ability to bring the football program back to elite status. I think it will really take maybe another five years to...

Thank you for the link to this interview, it was very revealing. I have in the past wrote about this in reply to Napier critics. Florida was not only behind other SEC rivals in athletic facilities, but also in student housing. Napier critics are ignoring these realities and how far the image of...

You are correct, and you make some good points. But left out of all of these lawsuits and discussions is player input. Suppose the players unionize, and start collective bargaining? One of their bargaining positions could be limiting distance traveled for conference games. They could very well...

Yeah, I've heard him a number of times criticize the nutrition program at Florida saying he was the nutritionist for his team when he coached. He would simply go around and look at everyone's plate and tell them to put something green on it.

Yes, I never did see how this was sustainable. You aren't getting anything in return for your money, and even if you imagine you are "buying" a player, there's no guarantee he stays. This is a pure example of throwing money away.

Jeff Hafley left Boston College for the DC position in Green Bay. He notes how right after he was hired, COVID hit, then the transfer portal change, then NIL.

Yes, this is a brilliant strategy. Cycle through coaches every two years, and pay off their $50,000,000+ buyout. You point out NIL, which boosters pay into. I wonder how much NIL money will accumulate after paying out all the buyout money you propose? Let's see what kind of coaches you can...

I'm not a prophet, so I don't know when to expect it, or if we can even expect Napier or anyone else to bring UF up to the level where LSU is at the moment. I am neither for or against Napier, because I think we simply do not have enough information of whether he can bring the program up to a...

OK, let me get this straight ... He says he couldn't be the best running back on a losing team, yet he thinks he will be better than the other running backs on a winning team? And he wants to be on a team playing in December? This kind of explains a lot of this guy, who didn't want to put his...

I agree with what you are implying here, which I interpret to mean that Kelly has experienced previous success and has accomplished much more than Napier at the Division I level. And I agree that the book on Napier is yet to be written, although he did experience success at Louisiana. What is...

I know I should ignore this post, but .... LSU fans can celebrate commits in February, but there is a long time to go until the first signing period. If I recall, Dylan Raiola was rated very high last year, and committed to Georgia for the longest time. He signed with Nebraska. Yes Kelly has won...

I guess you didn't read what I wrote above. The issue is the student-athletes were not consulted about the rules. It has already been ruled in the courts, that the are entitled to earn money through NIL. Any rules the NCAA implements would restrict their ability to earn that money, as the court...

You make an excellent point. However, I think the reason Tennessee and Virginia brought this to court is that everyone is cheating and they feel they were singled out for punishment. Any sanctions would unfairly put them at a competitive disadvantage as the landscape continuously changes. And...

Temporarily ... notice all the qualifiers such as "until a full and final decision" etc. Read the link I posted on a previous thread ... https://insidethegators.com/forums/threads/my-uninformed-or-maybe-even-misinformed-thoughts-on-nil.2189/page-2

I had wanted to comment on this earlier, and didn't get a chance. Thank you for the link - I think it was an interesting perspective, but I'm also wondering how much of it to believe? I don't recall any professional manager giving details in public about contract negotiations like this guy does...

I'm sure there will be many more stories on this, but if you've missed it, the NCAA can (temporarily) not enforce NIL guidelines. Now by federal court order, there are no NIL rules. Tennessee granted temporary injunction by federal judge as NCAA loses ability to enforce NIL policy
