Saban tried to warn everyone this was going to happen.. RTR

[@darnellrtr252]

Sports agents and agencies gotta be loving this lol 😂

[@jm12green31]

I've said this for a while now but the academic part of the scholarships should be going to people that want to actually attend the University. Since college football is just a big business based on money then they don't need to go to class anymore what's the point? Cut them the check and play football end of story

[@banjax80]

If these kids want to get paid then they also need to pay their own tuition, room and board, food, tutoring, medical care, etc. They are getting hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for being an athlete but that wasn't enough and they wanted more. It's only fair that now that they have the financial means to do it they should be made to pay for all those things out of their pocket. And the schools can use that money to fund the athletic programs that don't make money.

[@evrydayamerican]

Yes best way I've seen someone has put it

[@banjax80]

And I am not saying all of them should be treated this way. Let them decide if they want to remain an amateur and receive all of those benefits or choose to be a professional and have access to NIL and the revenue sharing, but you have to pay your way. Make it a business decision.

[@darnellrtr252]

That’s what I was saying see now all a scholarship is to an athlete is a roster spot. Because they don’t care about education.

[@JeffHorne-n5d]

I Totally Agree With banjax80!

[@richardlollar7751]

Amen! Preach it!

[@rodneysparks6442]

Bye Bye arena!!!

[@darnellrtr252]

College football isn’t college football anymore imo. RTR

[@johnsmith4900]

Thats because colleges are now running a minor league football league in the name of money and control. Its nothing like it was a few decades ago.

[@martinphillips7886]

It’s still College Football. How people don’t understand is beyond my comprehension The problem is people who don’t do don’t understand. Why majority of people work for someone collecting a paycheck vs what I do, Entrepreneur and make my own money

[@darnellrtr252]

@@martinphillips7886 when everything is about money and you got colleges that have to shut down there football programs because they can’t afford it. That’s where you totally lost me buddy. We’re basically watching independent contractors lol

[@jasonsaban3883]

@@martinphillips7886better be ready to pay more for this “amateur athletics”. An iron bowl ticket last year was an outrageous $170, about to get worse. How anyone can’t understand this is beyond comprehension

[@jm12green31]

Nope just a greedy version of college football

[@jhblackwe11]

Time to cut other sports, sadly.

[@carnut678]

Similar to the effect of raising the minimum wage to a crazy number.... employee layoffs, closing of businesses.

[@wknight5595]

@@carnut678 or not punishing store theft and crying that the local businesses close down.

@19:16 Yes Luke, and the Sheraton had a nightclub there called Park Place, I partied there from time to time in the mid 80s, fun times.

[@Dymondsongs]

YEP no bueno IMO, NCAA is not sustainable for the long term, wish we would have cancelled them long ago. Schools are just paying their bills now it appears.

[@Da-Boo33]

That's why military states ....THEY BENEFIT from this NIL and scholarships they don't spend as much money I bet ... but we shall see hopefully for successful season Alabama

[@Toast2222]

So now Texas a&m and Texas schools can pull 5 stars out there ass

[@RickStockberger]

National Semi-pro Athletic Association? Saban was right ....

[@jonbailey3243]

Luke looks like he's learning something 😂

[@niccomaxico]

Why do fans remain loyal to teams comprised of players who are not loyal to them or even their own team?

[@BamaBoi334]

Idk if this is good or bad honestly I just know it’s a lot changing 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@jadogg6784]

IMG Blue (The National Team) cannot play for a state championship but they can still win a national championship. IMG White is the state team and can go to the play offs and win a state title and win a national championship.

[@darnellrtr252]

I know southern Miss doesn’t have 30 million hell Brett Farve had steal money from section 8 funds to build a volleyball stadium lol

[@lukerobinson7079]

LOL

[@darnellrtr252]

Quick Question? What happens to the players that enter the transfer portal but don’t end up getting a scholarship offer? Right now there’s 3800 players in the portal.

[@jasonsaban3883]

Good question. I guess they are without a team & now a former player.

[@darnellrtr252]

@@jasonsaban3883 tragic

[@DavidHumphrey-p6m]

How did we get from paying a player for his image being used on a video game to pay for play?

[@jackharrington697]

If these kids want to get paid then they also need to pay their own tuition, room and board, food, tutoring, medical care, etc. RTR

[@David-jm6yo]

Surely softball will survive?

[@darnellrtr252]

So basically a scholarship for a football player is just a roster spot. It has nothing to do with education now huh?

[@arnoldbyrd5923]

All the kids use to have chance to get free schooling all the small schools can’t afford this so I guess they they will have to drop sports so who’s losing? The kids. So if you’re not a high three star the majority of the kids won’t get a chance for education and with this economy the way it is I don’t think most people can afford school costs

[@darnellrtr252]

Eventually college football players will be like those guys that be on campus that’s not enrolled. Yet they eat in the caff and be in the rec rooms shooting pool and stuff.. lol college football just said to hell with education. lol

[@martinphillips7886]

NCAA and Conferences screwed this up. Should have done this 15 years ago I’m for this new system

[@JamesCarter-be9cn]

It's the beginning of the end of all sports. Folks are leaving thus anomaly in droves.

[@arnoldbyrd5923]

Don’t have to worry about a larger than 12 team play off won’t have enough teams to make it

[@richardlollar7751]

Uh oh! Another old Star Trek episode! For you young sprouts, the person wearing red on away teams gets zapoed!

[@Dallas-h9t]

A lot of weaker schools will shut down their athletics departments

[@wordnerd2005]

Besides making big money, the most miserable job is being a college head coach.
