Contracts, then there is accountability. You want to talk to UGA or UM or OU fine; but I'll sue you for breaching our agreement. IDC if it looks bad... Roast em.

Contracts are the way to fix this but schools refuse to go that route b/c they want to keep all the revenue for themselves.

Last October, a reputable source I trust 100% told me Nick Saban would be retiring at the end of the season. I posted it on this board and was ridiculed. Until it happened, then everyone wanted to know more.

I may engage in constant banter and occasional antagonism, but I never post rumors or controversial info unless I get them from a trusted, verified source close to the program.

I can tell you with 100% certainty Nico spoke with representatives from Georgia and Oregon during the season about what it would take for him to transfer this offseason. He also spoke with a third school (perhaps Miami) but that one couldn’t be confirmed with 100% certainty.

I don’t care if you believe me or not. Take it for what it’s worth.

Well Saban is 73, so the odds were more in your favor of being right eventually the older he got. It’s been said for years he would be retiring from “sources.”Someone was eventually going to be right.

80% of the kids in college football are talking with someone about making their situation better. Would not be surprise and I would think Nico entertained calls from other places... That is the world of college athletics now.

Only 10% need to

Contracts will lead to ambulance chasers and unions. No thank you. Just blow it up already and start over

First, there is no 100% predicting of the future. 2) You seem concerned about how you are personally underappreciated "I posted it on this board and was ridiculed." Let me strongly suggest that you review your self-esteem. 3) Everyone did not want to know anything yu posted. I, for one, certainly did not.

Pro Tip: If you don't want to be self-esteem challenged, don't post like a Goober.

Then tell the NCAA to move the transfer window outside the season.

I blame the NCAA for this entire mess! They had to know this was coming yet after the Fed Gov got involved they haven't done anything but threaten UT.
After Donde put them in their place NCAA hasn't even suggested any sort of guidelines. F them.

So you're saying the top teams want him? Imagine that.

OP - I believe you and have serious doubts that Nico finishes his collegiate career here. I hope that I am wrong. Regardless, its my opinion that the pendulum has swung too far to the other side, giving players way too much control. This NIL stuff and transfer portal needs parameters very soon.

NIL and college football emulating American governance. We have laws, they have rules…but none of that appears to matter to those who will stop at nothing to win. No integrity remains but it seems this has no bearing given the level of apathy by fans….uhh, there’s nothing any one can do so who cares….pass the chicken wings

This is why the portal should be after bowl season but before signing day. They need to sign a contract and if any team is caught talking to or player/rep caught talking to then should be penalized. They aren’t allowed to do that in any other sport while under contract they I’m aware of because that is tampering.

I don’t think Saban knew he was retiring last October. I certainly don’t believe anyone else knew outside of maybe his wife. I dont think it was a massive shock he retired, as there had been rampant speculation for a couple years due to all the changes, and he’s not a young guy.

He wants people to believe his source is legit. All we have to go on is he said she said.

I want to go on record as saying the word “goober,” is grossly under used. I applaud you fine sir for stirring it back up to becoming relevant.

Well, I don’t want to be mean but I don’t believe for a second he or his source knew Saban was retiring in October of 23’. Predicting/guessing a coach Sabans age is retiring isn’t much of a reach. Wanting credit for it kinds makes me take him less seriously.

To me, the issue is our crappy play calling in 2024. We need to be more aggressive or we will lose players.
