Never saw any of the starting basketball team around campus. Now that many players transfer, why even offer them a scholarship? It's not like they (or their parents) have ever cared about academics since elementary school.
    Not all of these kids nowadays skip their classes..... Some of them do care..

    I think that there should be contracts between the school and the players when it comes to their NIL money. You play X amount of games and we give you X amount of dollars. Maybe have a performance clause in it for a bonus.

    I think eventually it'll get to that in order to get a scholarship... Something's gotta give.. They're paying them nil money plus scholarships...

    Stomped by Texas at home - “that was week 2 and we’re a different team now”
    Almost lost to a horrible auburn team - “it’s a rivalry game and we never play good there”

    They’re completely clueless. Other teams have rivalry games too, nobody cares… show up and dominate if you’re the superior team. And they think they get a free pass for a bad loss at home bc they’re Bama. Its beyond ridiculous

    Employees of the University, through an employment contract, with a buyout clause or non-compete

    University will figure out a way to maintain leverage, as they should.

    Ok, do you think your team is the exact same team at years end as they were in week two? If so, then they got problems..
    You know nothing about Iron Bowl history if you don't know how bad Alabama plays in auburn. FYI, in 17 games in the pasture, the good guys are 7 up and 10 down...

    Again, gonna need a few cases of Boudreaux's Butt creme for all this butt hurt goin around because of Alabama football I swear...it's everywhere... Guess I'll start putting it in folks Christmas stockings...

    FSU was. Still winning at the end, just like they started. Not Bama, they had to work up to winning. Gutter trash Bama fans, l tell you.

    I am still trying to figure out who his team is. All I know so far is who he doesn't like.

    Alabama is not the only one who has a rivalry game bro! Nobody outside of Alabama cares!! That's what I'm trying to say, the fact of the matter is whether it's the Iron Bowl or not, Auburn sucks and y'all barely, and I mean BARELY beat them! Just because it's in the plains and it's a rivalry game you think you can say, "well Alabama never plays good there and you don't understand the history of the iron bowl"! This is the definition of entitlement, none of that is relevant whatsoever to the fact that Auburn sucks and y'all barely beat them.

    Not sure if you're aware, but FSU and Florida also have a huge rivalry game. It was in Gainesville this year and FSU went in with a backup and didn't need a miracle to pull it out.

    Just to make you feel better, I'm a huge VT fan. And I've mentioned several times on these threads that I tend to pull for Bama in big games, can't stand Michigan, and not really a fan of FSU. I'm a fan of college football and actually watch college football instead of just one team. I ain't gotta dog in the fight and just call it like I see it, and the way I see it FSU got screwed. Sorry you don't agree with that. You've made it very clear that you're an LSU guy, and since we're trying to pin down who everyone is a fan of and who they should be cheering for, I'd say you should be upset that the team that curb stomped you in week 1 didn't get in just to make your team look better.

    Who pay this NIL money? And does the schools divide it up or what ?

    Settle down Finebaum. This is an internet fishing forum not gameday. I have already stated my position on this.

    Bitter couldn't halfway describe the feelings I have towards what's been going on in Blacksburg for the last 7 years! Haha

    I'm really not trying to come across as a d***. I'm actually a pretty nice guy and I love debating college football. I also generally pull for SEC teams outside of ACC teams. But the entitlement I see out of Alabama fans makes it easy to see why they're so hated.

    Winning is winning despite the adversity. 13 wins, no losses. Bama and TX can't say that.
