- Growing the game of College football has done nothing but make it less enjoyable. The never ending fixation on the National Championship has hurt the sport and our perception tremendously. I am sick of monthly NIL donations and so is the rest of College football fans. Save us SAINT NICK #collegefootball

Saban had zero problems paying players illegally but when its legal and he doesn't have a way to manipulate his guys he cries and quits! LMAO.
Prove your claims
Exactly
The comment is total ignorance. It was clear that Bama didn't have the money that the Texas schools had to buy a recruiting class. Bama has money, but not that old, oil money like them boosters in Texas have. But, guys kept coming to Bama just to play for Saban. Playing for the GOAT meant something to them. You saw how many left when he retired. If they're not making enough money to keep them at Bama now, they certainly weren't then. In fact, I remember him letting a couple guys leave last year because he wasn't about to give them the money that they wanted and they were starters. He's right about everything he's saying. Actually, he's been right every time he's ever spoken about the direction the game was headed in. The fact is that he was a workaholic. He outworked and outrecruited every coach in college football. I see the Saban jealousy can't even go away when he's retired.
And how many have come forth and divulged this information to YOU?
What are you talking about specifically here? The NIL’s, just one specifically to me, but I’m going off of an article in The Athletic that cited a dozen
"We used to be able to give out brand new hellcats and challegers to land our recruits, now anyone can do that and that's not what it is suposed to be" - Nick Saban probably
These comments are dumb as hell. Saban's last 2 recruiting classes were ranked #1 and #2 in the nation. Bama has money, but I wouldn't say that their pockets are as deep as the Texas schools (for example). Did it matter? No. Recruits who could have gotten more money from another school still went to Bama just to play for Saban. Playing for the GOAT meant something to them. It was obvious. You saw how many sold out to the dollar and hightailed it when he retired. Recruiting was never going to be a problem for him. He outworked and outrecruited every coach in college football. Anytime this man had a concern, it was always the same. Remember when he asked, "Is this what we want college football to be?" Everybody went crazy saying he was scared, etc. What did he do though? He adapted in a way not many coaches could. He started doing the same things that had given him trouble up until that point, but he was doing it with better players than everyone else and still winning championships. Fact is he adapted to NIL. His recruiting didn't fall off even a little bit. But, he didn't like it and I understand why. The game is a joke now. You might as well say every player in college football is a free agent at all times. My interest is gone. I haven't cared about the NFL for years. Now, I don't care about college and I'm not alone. And to you fools saying it's a bad look for him because he has money, that's a stupid argument too. He's in his 70s, not his teens. He worked a long, damn time to accomplish all the things that he accomplished. There will never be another Saban and there will never be another run like he had at Bama. Instead of being appreciative that you witnessed it, you idiots just want to down him. But, none of you are worthy to even carry the man's briefcase. The Saban jealousy won't even go away now that he's retired. Just further proof of his greatness.
Miss Terry, is that you??😂
I absolutely despise Alabama, and I agree with everything you said. I couldn’t have said it better myself in fact, if you’d like to come record and will air it together let me know, email me at juckonbucks@gmail
OK that’s funny😂
@@TimSinard Lol...good one. I admit I'm probably his biggest fan after Miss Terry.
@@JuckOnCFB I understand. I was a little bitter after that semifinal game in 2014. The crazy part was that you guys beat us at our own game. Simple, brutal football. We couldn't stop Zeke to save our lives in that game. I felt a lot better after the 2020 national title game though. Zeke was our kryptonite in the first game. He killed us. And, I'm convinced that DeVonta Smith was going to have 350 yards in that 2020 game if he didn't hurt his hand early in the second half. Point being, both games had memorable performances by one player.
Transfer portal ought to be limited to one time…. NIL and greed are ruining CFB
Totally agree, Sam
😂 but coaches can transfer but the kids can't give me a break. Max is 3
@1on1AllstarsGames They are CAREER guys. They can change jobs. There us NO equivalency between that and sone 17-18 year old unproven kid whose already getting a free colkege education, his housing abd meals free and free medical care and playing a sport where perhaps 1% will make it to the NFL. This is a NON argument.
But the proverbial horse has left the barn. The NCAA manages to screw up the portal too. The courts have ruled they can go as often as they like now. So, like NIL, only contracts can bring this mess back to something resembling sanity.
Wait till the conference championships go away. We'll have even less representing a successful season. We've already torpedoed the bowl games. So I'm completely on board with you about the "growth of the game." Now it's about to be completely ruined.
Saban realized that NIL ,and the Transfer Portal was going to hurt his recruiting and National Championships, and that's why he quit. Things were going to be more even and he didn't like it, no more hording five stars.
Is that why he landed his 3 highest rated classes and signed 23 five star players from 2021-2024......because NIL was taking away his advantages? Tell us all you're dumb without actually telling us 😂😂😂😂😂
Ot maybe, just MAYBE if Saban wanted to be in an NFL environment he would have been 🤔 between the game rule changes and NIL, there's not much effing difference. No true love for the game, no reason to be loyal to a single program. How long until we start getting portal picks? Honestly NCAA can suck a fat chode, they know what they do. I hope the 2 real conferences conferences split off and NCAA goes under. Karma is a bitch
@@michaelbaker8633 Yes but he was losing as many players to the portal than he was recruiting. Even though he was (so far) keeping his quality recruits, it was getting harder to do so. He could see he was losing his advantage. He alluded to this to ESPN earlier, he said after the season 70% to 80% of his players wanted to know 2 things. 1) How much were they going play, 2) and how much they were going to be paid. That's inline with the answer he gave Sen Cruz as to why he retired (because his recruits only want to know how much he would pay them). They wouldn't be asking those 2 questions unless it was because they had some leverage. Other schools trying to attract them through the portal with either NIL money (via collectives) or the promise of more playing time.
Since 2017 each year I watch less pro and college football. This past season I watched only a few games and only parts of those games.
That’s the big fear man that sucks
It’s a bad look for Saban….All the money that’s been thrown at him from boosters, PLUS he owns multiple Mercedes Dealerships.
What's a bad look for Saban? Being in favor of NIL and revenue sharing for the players? Clearly you never actually listened to the man's publicly expressed views concerning the matter. You wear ignorance like a badge of honor 😂😂😂😂
I listened to him in senate, in interviews, one time in person. He’s against BOOSTERS giving kids money. BOOSTERS paid Sabans mortgage and part of his salary. That’s the hypocrisy. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Nick, please start a union for college Athletes.
When Nick gives his tens of millions of dollars back, we can talk
Why? There are about 330 million people in this country. How many have the coaching and recruiting skill that he does? It's known as the free market. He earned every bit if it. None of it was just given to him because he had four or five stars attached to his name without even setting foot on a field. A free college education and free housing, meals, and medical care were shit on long before NIL came along. Then the NCAA refused to even allow players enough $ to take their family to dinner, so they intentionally left NIL vague just so they could hammer programs they didn't like. Now, here we are.
@@michaelbee2165 then why are you getting mad about athletes getting paid why is he getting mad about athletes getting paid? You just said it's a free market
If you restrict the players from moving then restrict the coaches too.
Coaches sign contracts and face penalties for moving on including massive buyouts. Not the same as players being non contract free agents twice a year
@@JuckOnCFB Nope. That agreement to get schooling and play ball is a contract. If it's no contract what are you signing on signing day?
I hear Notre Dame is considering a pairing up with their Catholic rival Boston College and entering the B1G.
I don’t really feel like the big 10 would be interested in Boston College but who knows at this point
@@JuckOnCFB Yeah but Notre Dame has so much pull they can insist on it. Same thing happened with UCLA. UCLA is a terrible football school but USC insisted on the B1G taking in UCLA. It’s good to have good academic schools who suck in football because they provide easy wins. Boston College and UCLA will be easy wins for the powerhouse schools.
No the big10 doesn't want Boston college.. and Notre Dame only cares about Notre Dame..
NCAA not restricting the transfer portal to one 1 was the biggest issue that players took advantage of concerning NIL. Once they started letting players transfer 2&3 times on a whim. The COVID year was a bunch of crap too, they still should have limited players to playing a max 4 years, not playing in multiple games 6 years with a bunch of 24-26 year olds pissing off the incoming classes. NCAA has wrecked everything every chance they could have taken actual control.
Spot on, Todd. spot on
What right do we have restricting employees for pursuing better jobs?
That and the NCAA refused to even let a kid have a cheeseburger, or get a ride to a meeting or have a flight across the country for a recruiting visit. They refused to put any clear NIL rules out because they didn't even want them to have enough $ to take their family out to dinner when they came to watch them play. So the NCAA intentionally left NIL vague and confusing just so they could go and lord over programs and coaches they didn't like and ding them. Well the courts shut that shit down and there is no college football governing body anymore. I'm glad the NCAA got a bloody nose. But now there's a big void because the NCAA refused to exercise any leadership.
@tallyrc Don't tell me some unproven freshman should be paid who knows how much to skip to another team so a career CFB coach can't take a job with another program. There's no equivalency at all. That is a NON-argument. These players should be paud some money, but skipping off because they don't want to earn the starting job or mean coach hurt my feelings gets no sympathy from me.
@@michaelbee2165 you clearly don't understand free market..
The Alabama was the only program allowed to pay their players over the last 10 years.
20 yrs
And your evidence for this is....?
Where's your Michigan helmet? I don't see it behind you anywhere. haha.
I will put 133 helmets behind me but there’s one I will not 😂
What’s with the long pauses?
inhaling all the farts in the room, gotta savor the flavor
@@r0llntider it’s buzarre
Bizarre
Just get it over with and have the NFL put up the money to create their own minor league football league and let them leave college football alone!
the nfl gets to use college football as a free farm system. They have no interest in putting up money to create a financial loser minor league.
Im a Canes fan. We might have bought us a good team this year. I don't like the direction of college football as it stands now. Saban quit because the field is more level now. Miami deserved our shitty bowl and we had multiple starters not going to the draft that sat out. If you get paid, you play IMO.
Yep, He realized he wasn't the only one who could pay players anymore. He wanted out before everyone found out he wasn't really the "GOAT".
@@ImFastrnUIf he just kept his mouth shut and just went away it would all blow over. But watch because he just couldn't keep his mouth shut a mountain of shit comes crashing down on him and the bama program.
@ImFastrnU And yet he still landed his 3 highest rated classes and signed the most 5 star players in CFB from 2021-2024 during NIL. You sound really dumb
I don’t like the direction either buddy but I really think that the canes are coming all the way back
I sure hope that's the way NIL goes. You lay out of a bowl game you don't get paid. Not for that game.
I won’t watch either way anymore.
Embrace the suck...
Only idiots are bitching about nil. The transfer portal is far worse for the college football
If you’re saying I’m bitching about NIL I’m not. And not going anywhere, even if they start paying them from the institutions. I want the players get paid. I’m just tired of paying the payroll when the colleges make all the money. They should pay the payroll.
And I agree with you about the portal unlimited transfers is insane
@@JuckOnCFB you're not bitching, you're giving your opinion without letting your emotions cloud your view. Honestly if a scientist can make money in their field while in school , there's no reason the athletes can't.(maybe not in the pros,but like the pros) Especially since having jobs are almost impossible because education isn't the priority of the these schools athletics. Coaches are grossly overvalued, and blood thirsty fans only care about wins. I love football but it's a tax burden at every level, and at the end of the day it's not important at all. Fun to watch but it's still a a game. ✌️ Not trying to hate here I don't always use the right wordage
@@leethecomedianNIL + Modern Transfer Portal = Shit
@@drayiii980 sure about that?
Miami has turned into flipping commits solely on there NIL offer to sign with them.
However they are trash, no development you comprise a roster based off NIL. Then you’ve got a team of Look at me types. Or “I” instead of team players that build upon your culture your building inside the football building.
I am Miami and I agree with you. We were one of the programs on the portal thing first. That is the way its going to be for everyone. We have always had Top 20 classes before the portal. Our problem has been the culture is soft. Ive been a Cane since "Thug U" days and all.
Wow yall really didn't listen and making up shit.
Fax I can’t stand all the hate savings getting for this it’s ridiculous
One of the worst videos I have ever seen.
College sports is terrible to watch.
In what way buddy?
College football is a popularity contest wrapped in a soap opera.
Why do you think all the old guard HCs didn't give shit about NCs?
That’s true in a lot of ways and that’s what makes it so intriguing for a lot of folks
I'd rather have a competitive sport than theatrics. @@JuckOnCFB
Not footage? What a ripoff.
THE footage is everywhere
I think our biggest mistake was not signing a transgender man to our couching staff. We need some diversity.
