Yea I too was shocked to not see GT in here.

If you’re going to claim something was said, you need to show proof. I asked for something very specific. You claim players leaving said the payments stop. If you can show me where a player said they left because the payments stopped, I will ban myself for a year. But you can’t. Because you’re lying. That never happened. You may have saw it on your boyfriends twitter feed where he told some lie, but you never saw a recruit or player directly say anything like that. Stop lying.

I know I shouldn’t let it get to me, but I’m pretty fed up with the blatant lies about this stuff. If people want to run with the ridiculous 40mil in money for the class that’s one thing, but to bold face lie about statements from recruits that were never said is a completely different manner all together.

You’re saying it was a direct statement from a player that the payments stopped so they are transferring. I’m saying you’re lying. That was never said. What WAS said is other liars like yourself claiming things were said and done that did not happen. You’re either gullible or a liar but those statements were never said from players. Nor was any evidence of A&M paying to sign aside from other liars like yourself making claims. As for Ewers. He was paid 45BILLION to sign with Texas. It’s all over the internet in tweets. It’s not my job to back up my lies. It’s your job to prove they didn’t happen. Isn’t that how you operate.

Then post it here. Not the post being talked about, post the direct evidence from the kid saying these things you are accusing them of saying… Stop lying. Stop being a coward.

You’re only down like that in college. In the nfl you have to be touched down. As for why it always happens. The officials have some lee way on whether or not the player who laid the hit when the other player is down had time to stop their momentum or at least ease up and try their best to avoid the hit. It’s not easy to stop your body moving full speed in split seconds depending on what’s happening around you and the officials know that so there is a lot of judgement calls on that rule.

But it’s in the open. Openly telling players you will pay them to sign is completely different than message board rumors alleging payments with no proof. That’s the real scam apparently.

No liars like you stated the kids said those things. No player leaving ever once said anything about payments or payments stopped. Not ever. You and other liars like you ran with something that’s not there. And your “proof” is “I saw it on twitter from a source like me so it must be true. Prove it didn’t happen or you’re wrong.” The only punk is the way you can lie with no repercussions because you’re on a message board. You know you can’t prove it. You know you’re telling lies you can’t prove. And you still run with it. If you’re gonna make accusations then provide real proof. Like a screen shot or video of these players saying these things you’re accusing them of saying. But you can’t. Because they didn’t say them. That’s the definition of lying. Or maybe slandering if that makes you feel better.

More lies from you. There was never a how much or a when in the statement. It was also a clip taken out of a much longer statement. There’s no shortage of low life humans like yourself that are perfectly content being liars if it makes them feel better about a game. So Texas is paying for signatures. They bought Ewers and all this recent class right? I mean they did broadcast 50k for every oline commit in an open blanket statement. If that’s not pay for sign what is?

That’s the aspect of this that’s being overlooked. These deals are not between the school and the kids. They are between the kids and outside businesses and the school is just a middle man. Technically I could pay an lsu player nil money to do a commercial for my business and have him say gig em at the end.

Texas paid Ewers 25 million to come to Texas. I also saw Anthony Hill was given 25% of all ticket sales in order to sign. Prove it didn’t happen or it’s true. that’s how stupid you sound. Running with childish internet rumors from other morons like yourself with no evidence other than quoting some other moron before you.

How is talking about Saban and his comments detailing the thread? If we aren’t going to talk about Saban and his prior comments regarding NIL is the only purpose of this thread to shine the holy light on Saint Nick for being the most perfect being to ever live? Yes let’s all worship Nick Saban because he made some comment regarding one kids NIL demands. Let’s ignore the fact that probably every other HC in America has also ignored some ridiculous teenage demands when it comes to recruiting. Nick is not the first person to turn a recruit away for asking for ridiculous promises nor will he be the last. Every other coach just didn’t feel the need to broadcast it out of some sort of self righteous ego trip.

Because nobody has ever provided that’s actually what happened. Like I said. Take this to A&M thread with proof or shut your punk mouth. There’s no reason for your obsession to derail yet another thread.

When did I say there aren’t some kids asking for money for signing? All I said was that Saban has had a different stance on players “earning” nil depending on the situation.

Miami, penn st and Florida st are really close to making that list as well.

I do think that there is an argument that blue bloods has nothing to do with wins and trophies and everything to do with the perception and what they did for the growth of the sport.

It depends on how we are defining blue bloods. What defines a blue blood? Is it titles? Total wins? Combination? Titles Minnesota has 4 titles. Nebraska and Miami have 5. My opinion is the blue bloods are Bama, OU, ND, Ohio st and USC. Those 5 schools have at least 7 titles and make up 5 of the top 6 in total wins. Texas is right on the fence. 5th in win totals but has half the titles of the 5 I mentioned. I lean towards including them in the blue blood discussion but I do think if they are in, Miami and Nebraska should be as well. I also think blue blood is a term for older more historical programs. LSU has the same number of titles as Texas but 3 out 4 came in the last 20 years and I would consider LSU and Clemson to be “new money” rather than traditional powers. Michigan and Penn st also deserve spots somewhere on this list but they are lacking in the trophy case as well.

And before anyone derails this thread, I’m trying to talk about Saban and Bama. If anyone wants to discuss A&M, take it to the A&M thread and bring proof or shut your punk mouths.

What does A&M have to do with this? I’m addressing how Saban brags about NIL and how the reputation of Bama commands 7 figures for certain positions regardless if a player has played a down, then two years later is acting like paying players is beneath him. Look I’m all for the second stance. I do not think college players should be given this much before they even play a down. But Saban essentially bragged about Bryce and his NIL deal using it as a recruiting tool. Then changed his tune when he found out other schools might pay that much too.

I was just referring to his comments on “before they earn it.” He talks about Bryce Young and implies that the qb position at Bama is the million dollar position, not that the player earned it:

Also Nick Saban… https://fortune.com/2021/07/21/bryce-young-nil-deals-endorsements-name-image-likeness-ncaa-sponsors-nick-saban/amp/

The basketball teams seems to have really found a groove. They are looking pretty solid right now.

He was a freshman all American at QB in limited starts… I get you hate Jimbo, but Weigman has played well at QB and has a very good future as a football prospect regardless if you like the program he plays for or not. Baseball is so much harder to make it in. He’s more polished a baseball player but his ceiling is lower. He’s the type of kid that had he gone pro baseball, likely ends up playing college football in 4-5 years as a 23 year old when he just couldn’t crack into the bigs and wants to try his shot at an nfl contract.

He would have gone in the top 3 rounds but made it clear very early he was going football route so mlb teams didn’t waste a pick. He’s probably a more polished baseball than football player and may be better at baseball naturally.

From what I remember Swoopes did not run over everyone and that was the thing. He played 2A ball and was 4 inches and 30 pounds bigger than even the lineman for most the teams he played against and his team still went 2-8. He didn’t take over the game even when he physically should/could have. And when you can’t take that next step and just truly shine at the small school level it’s hard to make the jump to do it at the power 5 level. Yes you upgrade talent around you but at the same rate the competition level around you increases as well. It’s mostly an even trade.
