I wasn't blessed to be 6'6" 270lbs and run a 4.4 so I didn't have these types of opportunities that Mr Rosen has. I make a halfway decent living being a union pipefitter/welder but I'd LOVE to trade places with Josh Rosen and goto a great school on a free ride and play football at this level. And if he wants to see what real life is.. he can come take my spot working 7/10s in a hot ass steam plant. I promise he would hush and go running back to being a student athlete with a smile on his face.

[@portvoid1894]

Krimson Haze Dude, rosen doesn't get anything free or handed to him. If youve never realized, he has to maintain his academics where he is no slouch either, did you have a 4.0 GPA? I bet you didnt.

[@krimsonhaze327]

Port Void I think you missed the point. I never said he got everything handed to him.. only that he got a free ride through school(schloarship). Just that he has a lot more opportunities. Not that it is easy or anything like that. I just think the scholarship, a degree from a super respected university, and the opportunity to play football at this level and the life experiences that comes with it is gift enough. But you're absolutely right about him maintaining his grades along with all the demands football puts on him... and No sir, I didn't have a 4.0 but that doesn't mean I can't share my opinion.

In High school he was an all american, 5 star recruit graduated high school with a 4.3 GPA, senior year he also threw for over 3100 yard w/ only 4 picks. He was listed as the best over all recruit. UCLA: First True Freshman to ever start at QB for UCLA, had the biggest come back win in UCLA history, his college ratings were: Freshman year 134, sophomore 138 (only played like 6 games cause he had a season ending shoulder injury and yet threw for 1900 yards in 6 games) Junior year his rating was: 137 w/ 3700 yards passing. And of course was drafted by the Cards in the first round. Wanna rethink that whole "not relevant" comment?

Nick Saban didn't say 1 word here that isn't true. I agree with him completely. However...If the cusp of the question was indeed referring to players getting paid, which maybe it wasn't?...I would be able to swallow his answer a little easier if he wasn't being an advertiser for Coke while conducting his Q & A. I mean think about it, a large number of these players come from little money, so college athletics is not just tough mentally and physically, as it should be, but it's hard financially for both player and family. Meanwhile, coach is making side money on top of his millions just by sitting a damn coke product on the stand? These kids are making a lot of people super rich while they get the "experience"? Experience reigns supreme, to be sure, but it would be a much better experience for a lot of athletes if they had a crumb from the golden table they produce for. Pay them an allotted, equal amount of living expense money. Ain't talking bout who's the highest bidder.... Then we'd end up like our government.

[@jacksonflowers2498]

Let's not act like there aren't some dumbass people who are athletes in college and have no business being there. When I was in college I saw a lot of athletes. Some were smart but a lot of them had to cheat to pass. Some didn't even know how to read. As long as you can play ball the schools don't really care. They just want you to be eligible. Schools should actually care more about their players and actually try to get them educated. I saw some guys who played football when I was in high school go to college and end up back home in 4 years working a minimum wage job because they didn't make it to the NFL. They weren't even worried about school they just wanted to play ball. If you think this type of stuff isn't happening at every school in the country you're delusional.

[@Buccaneer9]

Rosen's not wrong. Alabama is a football factory and a degree from that "school" is a joke.

Actually if you click on my link, you'll see that Bama has 23 Rhodes Scholars. "People don't go to Alabama to do "school"". And I never said it is the "only reason" a school is better, but it is a metric. You saying it's harder to "hack it" there isn't proof of anything really, or maybe the football players that are recruited to play for the Bruins can't hack it. That's a possibility as well. Yes, UCLA is ranked higher, but you're acting like Bama isn't an institution of higher learning at all. I just love it when someone goes with academics to try to prove their point in a football debate. I heard that one over and over on similar forums from Notre Dame fans after the Tide wiped up the field with them in the NC game a few years back. But since this thread is about college football, we could compare the number of football conference titles and College Football National Championships.........

lets not delude ourselves into thinking that the student athletes have the same rigor as non student athletes in courses. There is a reason so many people who could barely do standard high school course work end up having 3.5-4.0s in classes that have objectively difficult pass rates close to 25-30% when they never even show up to lecture. They are brought to the school to play sports, education is secondary and if you're good it gets taken care of. Especially considering kids I know that play in the top D1 level could barely pass FCAT their senior years are graduating with Stem degrees on top of all the time they spend playing football. It is what it is though, not to take credit from the student athletes that do work hard (the few from the big sports and most of the athletes from the less popular sports) as there most certainly are people that do.

Rosen is just jealous because he plays in a sport that is considered "the other sport" at their school. It's the reverse for the cross town rival in Cardinal and Gold. And plus the fact that they beat SEC, TAMU in the opening weekend and the Aggies hung with the Tide and I'm sure that factored into the reason for his comment. Saban hit the nail on the head because in any sport their is the opportunity for the athlete to pursue an academic road that without being talented enough in that sport he would never would have walked on campus. I heard many other coaches like Bob Stoops and Mack Brown address this same issue and they said the very same thing. Plus, the fact Rosen focused on SAT scores (heck he might have scored near 1600 he's a smart cookie) but it's the grade-point average and body of study that is bigger factors than a standardized, man-made test based on the Dept of Education national standards. Plus their are many bias in the test not just racially and grade-point average and the type of degree that the student-athlete is attempting to attain is very underrated at any level.

[@ramkumarv2144]

those kind of 2 of days and stuff is fine in the old days, but nowadays players study film. they probably have more film sessions meetings now more than before. the physical workouts probably decreased, but the mental workouts probably increased, but I don think Rosen was speaking for himself. Rosen is probably fine with what he has. he comes from a wealthy background. he leans left and all that stuff. but the money that is being made in College football to pay Saban his 7-10 mil a year salary while these players get nothing is probably what is the biggest frustration is. Tebow even joked about in the Daily Show about how Urban Meyer had a million dollar bonus if they won national championship and he teased about asking Meyer for stuff. these players like get fluff classes where they probably dont even do they work. I think the UNC Chapel Hill case with the paper classes proved what we all knew. so the combo of fluff, players risking long term injury, the money the NCAA and College Coaches make (lookin at you Saban) probably lead to Rosen saying these things.

It's not bread crumbs. They do get a lot. But the money they make for the institution greatly outweighs what the institution pays for them to get an education.

Yeah but what happens to these poor kids if they werent good at football? There are kids just as deserving that cant help your school make a gazillion dollars off of them, so they are just assed out unless they can afford to go into debt with some bank.

He can say shit like that because he's a millionaire or close to a billion

Coca Cola wins this conference!!!

[@ncdewber]

Why is the coke and water bottle more in focus than he is?

[@alfredselle3664]

Nathan Dewberry they wanna make sure u focus on them so u buy coke products

[@alfredselle3664]

Now answer this what's wrong with that water looks cloudy

[@ncdewber]

Alfred Selle --- well I sure am thirsty now!!! I am thinking we are seeing his grey or white shirt through it making it look cloudy Also I have no idea what he said cause I was thinking abut the bottle the entire video! They really are more in focus than he is!!!

[@BrokeMalone]

but fr dasani is some nasty shit. i get a headache from drinkin tht trash

[@Aryanbrotherhoodboxing]

He couldn't cut it in the NFL and Pete did. Great recruiter but a shot coach.

[@francisformlyknownasc.i.a2128]

Lol why is coke and Dasani are on the stand ? Is Nick Saban really drink one after another lmao

[@eyBuDDy6217]

As a Florida state fan I really like this gotta be honest

[@DonChocolatey]

Roll Tide.

[@trekranger]

Rosen seems like he is entitled. Not just for this statement but for all his statements he's made. Immature is what I'd say he is, but he is still a kid. If all kids had a Mike put in their face we'd hear a lot worse.

[@JT-gm4fk]

No it's not facts, it's hypothetical

[@booster5329]

Well said coach.

[@gbynum253]

This doesn't make sense lol
