This all has to do with NIL. Some of these guys like NS had a problem with the way there is no national rules governing NIL. I think over time you will see more of this unless they can put a handle on the portal and NIL and run it like the NFL FA. It is being rumored that NIL was one of the major reasons for NS retiring.

There was a great interview with the former DC at Bama who just retired. He said they would go to a HS kids house and the family would be honest by saying this is the kind of NIL money they would need to come to Bama. Per Steele the college coaches were not able to discuss NIL with a HS kid as it was a violation being seen as an inducement to come to a school. So obviously others had already talked to these HS kids during the crooting process. I think once they sign with a school then the collective was able to get involved.

shite, I would. College coaching is year round now. At least the NFL coaches get an offseason.

Boohoo for him. So once he didn't have every advantage and the ability to skirt every rule, it was just too much?

Saban is partly to blame for this mess because the system he built in Tuscaloosa was basically pay for play before this mess started. They simply did it in creative ways and the SEC and NCAA turned a blind eye.

Now, he had to actually work even more because all his cheating/skirting the rules before was open to everyone and he could no longer dominate.

That is why people that laud him as the greatest ever ignore that he was basically the new era version of Bear Bryant. They simply stockpiled the top players not to make them a great team but keep their opponents from getting talent. That's not great coaching and why Saban was mediocre in the NFL. He didn't have the massive talent advantage and coaching was actually important.

That isn't to say that Saban wasn't a godo X's and O's coach. He's a great one, but not as great as some like to make him out to be.

Josh Pate hinted at a lot of this coming. College coaches are sick and tired of money being the only reason kids are going to certain schools. There's no more selling the kid on why a specific school would be the best fit and where they could get playing time at. It's about kids demanding tons of money because one school offered them that much. Truly sickening and the passion from college football players has gone down. I will always watch it, but it's frustrating to see college football falling apart

What if I told you there were rules in place but everyone lost their shite about them and the government got involved to remove them?

It probably has way more to do with the portal than NIL… the time and energy it takes to constantly re-recruit your own roster has to be exhausting.

Yeah, because he was such a rule follower.

He was paying players his entire career and got on his soap box screaming about them deserving money. They get money and he bolts.
