[@JoelKlattShow]

Do you feel like college football has changed too much?

[@bevinboulder5039]

I feel that it is in the process of changing but it isn't finished yet. Both transfers and NIL need to be reined in from where they are now.

[@jameskemp1963]

Yes, but I’m old enough to remember seeing Coach Bryant and Johnny Musso in Tuscaloosa. You could literally park right next to Denny Stadium and walk in and expect to be entertained by the marching band and buy a watered down Coke and a hotdog with mustard and ketchup. It was a different experience watching John Hannah run out of the tunnel onto the field. I’m pretty sure season tickets were like six dollars per game. But, that’s before Nike and ESPN took over the world of college football. It almost feels like it’s an out of control semi professional league now. I’m happy for the kids that they’re getting paid. Compensation for college athletes was way overdue. Probably needs some type of regulation. And the transfer portal is ridiculous. You have kids transferring before they ever put a uniform on. Unlimited transfers just makes no sense. In the NFL you can’t just pick up and leave because things aren’t working where you’re at. You sign a contract. But, sadly with paychecks and contracts the league doesn’t really seem like it will remain unique and different from the NFL. Nothing wrong with the NFL but we already have a professional football league. I guess now we have two

[@eldominioniqqv]

As a bama fan, the respect for Mrs Saban from deion is admiring

[@rodb115]

They have limit the number of transfers...it's getting ridiculous. You don't even know who's on your team until the first game of the season!

[@kevofyb]

yeah that or it needs to be a way to put them under contract so players aren't leaving crazy for no reason. it should be a group agreement with either the team or staff from the team with a board that looks over everything

[@Magdalena8008s]

Everyone knows there needs to be something done. Everyone agrees and knows. It's going to take a few years to get all the things worked out. They have already stated they are working on it. Now let's let them do it.

[@kevofyb]

@@Magdalena8008s right

[@GoatedAtNFS]

@@Magdalena8008sa few years? dude the NCAA is moving at a snails pace and it won’t be fixed until it’s all gone. transfer portal window shouldn’t be during bowl season, making things worse. NIL needs a legitimate cap. Freshmen need a cap for how much money they make. G5 needs to break of P5 immediately, the playing field is definitely NOT even by ANY circumstances. and then-revenue sharing is ANOTHER issue

[@benjaminquinn9304]

If you are a fan of a school that recruits well, it's mostly business as usual. People are excited about transfers, and there are some that are a massive deal like Caleb Downs. But, CFB is a game of the unknowns. Tomorrows talent isn't moving much.

[@markwilliford7471]

Good interview and I like the grey-bearded Deion!

[@gregschulte2953]

Great point. With compensation comes expectations. What recourse is there if the player doesn’t live up to expectations. Pros are cut.

[@panosalexakos4877]

If players are going to be paid, they should be treated like professionals. They should sign contacts with performance clauses.

[@daweeza42]

I agree with your point, but only if the NCAA is paying the players. As of now the NCAA is still getting over on players because they ain’t paying anything.

[@panosalexakos4877]

@@daweeza42 Why the NCAA? Whoever is paying players on behalf of a school should demand performance clauses

[@daweeza42]

@@panosalexakos4877 Bruh you think a car dealership owner, or Pepsi, or whatever company has the time to implement anything for these kids…it’s not up to individual corporations to manage NCAA athletes. I get what you’re saying and I honestly like your thoughts. But reality is this is the NCAA issue/challenge. They’ve took advantage of these kids since the very beginning and now they have no idea how to manage the wild wild West of NIL and transfer portal.

[@talkingrock7011]

Thanks Deion for bringing the other side of NIL out , college football will never be the same especially with 12 team playoff and the end of conference championships as we knew

[@messagetous]

Good clip 😀

[@maryannproffitt44]

Roll Tide, love the commercials y’all do!

[@scottellis800]

Love it!

[@jeffthompson6248]

These athletes are being compensated, with scholarships. Great point on that the players want to be paid like pros, but then dont want to be treated or act like pros.

[@stevenbevis17]

Compensation should be as it has been. Education first. Athletics 2nd. Earn the opportunity to Be chosen for professional sports.

[@ExecutiveProtection51]

Prime kickin’ them socks!!! 🧦🙂

[@Themikelawry]

That’s a valid point…. These kids probably can’t handle the expectations pro’s receive

[@maryannproffitt44]

Nice hat

[@r.mitchcullins1299]

Go Ralphie

[@jimmysexton4201]

Name, Image, and Likeness, its so simple! You do not buy highschool and transfer players! It should be absolutely incentive based! You get what you earn thru indorsements of your proven ability!!!

[@doncoroleone7815]

I agree that college players should be compensated, but not in every sport. If a sport does not generate revenue for the college, then it makes no sense to pay the players, as their compensation is the scholarship they receive from playing said sports, (which are directly financed from the revenue generating sports, football and basketball).

[@brianroyster7510]

I believe CDS is an above average X's and O's coach. But he has to up his game in HS recruiting. There's no way a program can be successful bringing in 35-40 transfers every year. That's what he should be bending Coach Saban's ear about.

[@TransplantHelper]

I actually think Nick retired to keep from having to shoot these commercials. 😂

[@Darkside-to6bs]

just gained a whole lot of respect for Deion, he is old school but unfortunately he has to play the "Prime" role which many times is a turn off

[@kreepalo26]

🤔 record I’ll give them 9-6

[@eddicarlo5362]

4-8 🤣

[@michaelatkinson6730]

From 1-11. Thats a huge improvement. No coach in the world could pull that off. It's the media overhyping something.

[@eddicarlo5362]

I hear you loud and clear. But if you feel that strongly about it, go to Vegas and put some money on it.🤣🤣

[@mark75l63]

He is rich and you are a bum

[@BigstickNick]

The players are being paid because they have people’s attention. Production doesn’t matter…I’m gonna watch Carson Beck this year no matter if he loses. Now the people offering the deals should do a little more homework, but Canes doesn’t care if UGA Wins or not. They care if he transfers

[@vs820]

maybe you dont like him but how you watch this and not respect Deion?
