I find it amazing and flabbergasting that Paul Bryant, Jr owns a bank in Tuscaloosa that hires people associated with the University of Alabama. I am equally amazed and flabbergasted that Bryant, from the most famous family in The University of Alabama history, is actually on the Board Of Trustees.
I remember growing up, every bank and insurance agency in Ann Arbor had multiple former UM football players employed

I'm pretty sure every former MSU basketball player who isn't still trying to make it somewhere, works for Mat Ishbia's mortgage wholesale company

I'll never understand bitching about non-rule breaking.

That's the biggest stretch I may have ever seen.  :c029:

Well, both are within the rules, and bitching about either may be rather pointless, so there are parallels.

But, IF rules are bad, bitching about them at some point can induce change in the rules.

It'd almost be like bitching about corporations that will do whatever they can legally to make a buck, even if it's not in the best interests of the customers...

...but nobody does that here.

I actually love how pissy you guys get when it's something that hinders the B1G (by choice).  It's awesome.

Yes, that's what "processing" is.

In theory, over time, you piss off enough recruits that "don't work out" that new recruits view you negatively, and so the system should self-correct.  And if 87% of other schools processed in the same way, eventually that would happen.

But Alabama is currently a unique place.  They're so good they're almost guaranteed to make the playoff in a given year, which recruits like.  And they're also recruiting such a high caliber of athlete, that every single one of their recruits assumes "well that will never happen to me.  I'll be a starter and a star."

And finally, of the players that DO make it through and don't get processed out, a ton of them ARE making it through to the next level. How many first rounders did they just have in the NFL draft?  So, players are willing to take a little more risk, for the promise of higher rewards if they make it through.
I mean, is there evidence they’re denying anyone a spot?

That’s the thing with recruiting super awesome kids. They all think they should play. And they all can’t. So you play the best, don’t play the less good kids, they think they can play somewhere else, they leave. They aren’t all Justin Fields, but a lot think they are.

It’s also weird because eventually they’re gonna get capped at 25 signees anyway, unless the NCAA changes that rule (which they’ll have to with the transfer stuff). The blue shirt is disappearing soon.

If anyone felt seriously wronged then I'd expect them to speak out about it.  As bamajoe points out, there's really no evidence of this happening.

Whining has never seemed to require much evidence.

Does anyone here think Saban doesn't at times suggest a player is better off leaving than staying?

Wouldn't any HC anywhere be doing that at times?

I can see at say UK, a fifth year senior is likely to get some PT because they would have recruited fewer newcomers ready to play.

If Saban and Alabama are violating NCAA rules cite us. If we are not stop crying.
If those numbers are wrong prove it - or stop interrupting the discussion
