I think they put the players on the payroll and the highest bidder will have the best players

[@WayneOldham210]

First score for Texas is Bond on a 75 yard touchdown pass

[@kirtbarnett1877]

I thought College athletics was about getting a degree. This seems to have been lost. My prediction is in the end you will have a huge number of players ending up without a degree and blowing through their money.

[@WayneOldham210]

I agree with 100%! I also think Bobby is wrong comparing what a commissioner of a huge "business" (ncaa) to a college kid playing a sport. That's like comparing apples to oranges. That man has a heck of a lot more on his plate than those students.

[@WayneOldham210]

I'm guessing getting a free ride to a major university and getting a top-level education does mean anything anymore. It's all about instant gratification and what's in it for me.

[@Aledo_Bearcats]

@@WayneOldham210 If they indeed want a degree they will go to a top school. Let's be honest. Most of the current high schools are little more than a prison. There's no learning at the public schools. If these guys want to play ball and blow their money, that's none of your business.

[@WayneOldham210]

It's also disgusting that some of these players are gonna be making more than their position coach.

[@eyegetbaked]

For arguments sake if the rest of the world doesn’t value a degree why would these athletes? What does matter is money and being able to take care of family members sooner (ou sucks ) as well as potentially paying for college outright and saving a scholarship just like Bert auburn

[@josephrenfro6071]

Not sure i agree or disagree with your take on paying players. But there is a big difference between 17.5 mil and 52.5 mil bobby. Thats not just a drop in the bucket.

[@OnTexasFootball]

It’s 1/3 of the way there. Look, I agree to a degree. But it’s still too much.

Do you think playing Ant Hill at Middle Backer hurts the team? He was so effective keeping defenses guessing playing in different positions.

[@OnTexasFootball]

We’ll see.

Man, I love y’all’s channel speaking about OTF. That being said, save this video. Y’all’s take on paying these kids, these amateur athletes, insane sums of money, will absolutely contribute to the demise of the game. We no longer prioritize being a longhorn, how can we, we’re prioritizing the Benjamin’s. You’re so focused on winning a natty, you’re entirely missing the value in a team and what it means to fight for the man next to you and not the Benjamin’s. Talk about saving face, that’s what you guys are doing, optics are bad if you guys speak poorly about NIL. Saban has spoke to all of this already.

[@OnTexasFootball]

That’s not true. The idea is to have both. It doesn’t have to be one or the other.

[@KM-kw2rt]

If it was all about passion, for the tide, to teach the kids, Saban would have given up 95% of his $11.1M salary. Coaches wouldn’t be jumping ship for higher salaries. What happens when the kid, who is giving everything to the team gets injured, loses his ability to make big money? Is Saban going to help him out, feed his family?

[@TheWincod75]

@@OnTexasFootball Regardless of platform, when it comes to money, it inevitably becomes one or the other; the higher the sum, the faster we exacerbate the demise.

[@TheWincod75]

@@KM-kw2rt You’re comparing coaches to players, they are not the same. Saban routinely discussed such topics, how to be more than a player; building them into something more so if/when the worse should happen they are prepared. Research the number of professional athletes, NFL, end up broke.

[@KM-kw2rt]

@@TheWincod75 Is your argument is “they’re going broke, so we shouldn’t give them money”? Or is it, “they should play for the love of their teammates”? What does players going broke have to do with limiting what they can earn right now? If they’re being built and set up for success why are so many going broke? You’re right though, it’s not the same. The coach isn’t putting his body in danger. If he tears his ACL, he can sit in the box and still make money. I don’t think it should be the Wild West as we’ve seen, but these kids should be receiving more than just an education when 7.8B is exchanging hands for CFP alone
