You are spot on. It really has become an embarrassment. But it all started with these teams (Bama, LSU, and UGA). When Richt left UGA, he left with his moral compass. Kirby, who learned under Satan, brought "Alabama" ways with him. No one cared to investigate the Dodge Chargers to Derrick Henry and the others. These were family's with less than $30K total household incomes.LMAO, what an embarrassment this sport has become.
The $75K per year no show jobs handed out in Baton Rouge and Tuscaloosa for parents of high level recruits. It all got passed over because of the "Aww Shucks" southern front. Most of all, the contract money for TV between ESPN, CBS, and the SEC. One of the few things and I mean few, that came out of California the last few years was the NIL initiative.
It had to! No one could compete. Is it the wild west now? Yeh, kind of. But if the "NCAA" would have investigated the previously mentioned schools and actually did there job, we wouldn't be in this mess. They had their office in Coral Gables. They didn't need one in Tuscaloosa, it was Sweet Tea and corn bread. Nothing bad was happening there.
If you think Alabama went from a dumpster fire with Mike Shula to a perennial power house with Nick Satan in such a short time because he was a great coach, well, you are easily manipulated. I don't want the NCAA enforcing or laying down the rules for NIL. The NCAA needs to go away and independent council needs to fix this.
