This has to be the best thread from the Bama boards

Kentucky basketball is in the same boat, back in the day the Big Blue Basketball program were the highest paid persons in that part of Kentucky, now everybody has a checkbook, players have the ability to set up their own foundations and the Kentucky basketball NIL has been slow to spin up cash as for decades somebody else was handling the player compensation well below the table, now there are plenty of above the board options, particularly in the SEC

Right. Saban is an embarrassment to college football. That punk quit and took his football home, because it's a more level playing field with NIL and with Tennessee FINALLY has a real football coach and doesn't have a coach that Saban endorsed for the Tennessee job.

Saban actually said of Dooley, Jones and Pruitt that they were good for UT. Sure, they were great for UT, because he knows he would stomp the asses of all three coaches forever.

He got mad and quit, because he can't just outright cheat by paying illegally and doesn't want a more level playing field. He thinks that's unfair to him.....

Why do so many hate paying players.? It happened for years everywhere.

Why should a player like Chuck Webb have not been paid legally. He lost a great career playing for "free" while helping UT make a lot of money.

And don't start on room, board, and an education take care of all of that because UT made tons more than Chuck and others made with room, board, etc. People who go with that either did not go to college and / or were too stupid to go out in the world and make money. That is unless listening to an Ethiopean prof who graduated from one of the SUNYs spending a whole semester blaming so-called white man's hegemony for screwing up the world is the problem which all should know about (kinda like certain politicians who support everyone except those who go out and try to do it right (i.e the radical racists). (Why professor oppressed came over and probably did not go back if he was indeed teaching students correctly is unknown).

Wait, wait, wait...did I misread something? Did this cat say he was giving $1K a month to Bama NIL? Please tell me none of you Vol fans are doing that...unless at least you're giving five times that amount to Franklin Graham trying to help our families in WNC or upper ET.

Their fans are spoiled, it’s pathetic. After discussing the game with my Bama in laws, who are actually pretty classy, my sister in law asked me to celebrate the game in another group chat. I told her to wipe her tears with the 6 natties she’s watched. Let’s just say it didn’t end well..

I'm pretty sure it's better just not to interact with people in general

Look, I'm no proponent of NIL, but this is kind of swaying me lol.

They are so mad that paying players no longer gives them the advantage it used to. Now that we can all do it, they're suddenly nothing special, and they can't handle it.

Alabamas reason for loosing is directly related to NIL ! Look at Milroe and Williams on the sidelines, they stand off to themselves bc they play for themselves and the whole team is undisciplined. TN plays for each other and that won us the game when we faced adversity.

I love that they are getting paid. They deserve every bit of it. As long as they give their all for Tennessee.

Never let them forget that Nick Saban loved NIL when he thought that Alabama would exclusively benefit from it. He was bragging about paying Bryce Young a million and insinuated that Alabama would be one of the few places that could do that. The current act of being outraged is just that, an act. A self-righteous phony if there ever was one.

How is bama’s player’s sideline behavior NIL related? Our players are also receiving NIL pay.

The “working” 36 hours bit is frustratingly disingenuous.

Not really. I know a whole lot of people that work very physically challenging jobs, for a lot more hours in a lot worse working conditions, for a whole lot less money. I don't care how long the average career of a player is, that doesn't justify making vast multiples more than the people that actually pay those salaries. I am NOT talking donors. I am talking the fans that spend more than they should to try and support their team. That goes for coaches, ADs and anyone else associated with high contracts.
