NIL isn’t an issue. How it’s run is. Players should get paid for jersey sales, video game sales but it’s gotten out of hand with these deals
Agreed
They shouldn’t have changed anything
Exactly, name image and likeness. Deestroying should have been able to make money off TH-cam, not gotten cut a 600k paycheck
So the company/people that would pay them should just buy 100k of their jerseys and launder the cash 😂. You can't stop it
Yup. NIL shouldn't have been hundreds of millions of dollars in recruitment. It should be paid wages for attending events. They should have a profit share of jersey sales with their number while in attendance. It's now just millionaires paying kids tens of millions of dollars annually to buy them from each other like slave trade really
Maybe the players should sign contracts for their money? The more years you commit, the more money you get.
How do ya not just love Pat.
Pat has the clearest voice played at 2x speed than I think any other human on the planet.
Bro wtf you’re right 🤣🤣
Does this mean that Pat would be a phenomenal auctioneer?💀
Lol this is wild!! Lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bear Alexander is a good case study. His freshman year, he was a rotational player on the national championship winning UGA defensive line. That offseason he demands a guarantee at a starting job, UGA doesn’t, and he transfers to USC. Two seasons later and he’s transferring again.. and ironically is visiting UGA.
Some things are obvious.
Yep Saban is right! Go Dawgs
Saban said something about 3 million before the NIL ? Lol
A.I. Nick Saban isn't believable enough. Couldn't pass that captcha at first LOL
People are butthurt about NIL. But it's going to spread put talent. Programs amd players that are more professional will rise to the top. The amount of starting roster spots in the NFL ain't changing
We teach our future to care more about money than relationships. To care more about themselves than the people around them. And then you wonder why NFL players throw tantrums and refuse to play because of money.
I feel like NIL was the absolute worst way to handle college player pay
No one in the world says “in this entire thing” more than pat mf mcafee
"In this entire thing" is to Pat what "Now here's a guy..." is to Cris Collinsworth.
Saban preaches staying in the face of adversity, when he faced adversity in the nfl, what did he do? Practice what you preach.
Or the adversity of the NIL. He quit, because without ALL of the advantages, he is a mediocre coach and human.
Its a business they're putting their time and bodies on the line. Get the bag.
NIL is a joke.. go back to giving money under the table. But you can’t say that because the second you do people assume you’re trying to take money out of a young black mans pocket.
Wtf. I haven’t seen a single person saying that. I’ve seen people upset of fans of schools that have always been doing this anyways being grumpy of a more level playing field but no one is bringing race into this.
@ you’ve clearly never been to Stephan A’s comment section lol
Is this what stupid looks like?
Idk what’s dumber the people that say that or you for taking what idiots say serious
Yes@@Rardoo2
Shane destroyed Saban live….everyone knows Saban had the bank, car dealership and local Tuscaloosa protection for every player he ever had ask any of them 😂
How is that different than UGA, UM, OSU? The problem with paying players on a college football team is that once you pay one, then you have to pay them all. Just ask Auburn who still pays old coaches to stay quiet
Rent free
What coach is basically saying is "We know our recruiters and coaches promised you things to sign with our school and we know we lied to you when we brought in a better recruit, but that doesnt mean you can just transfer to a school that actually wants you, that would make us look bad. So get back to being in a QB battle for 2nd string."
🎯🎯🎯
💯
Little Nicky and the rest of the coaches lie their asses off to get kids to come to their school and before they had all the control and power so it was OK. Little Nicky couldn't handle the lack of control which is why he quit the Dolphins and quit Alabama.
I love players getting paid. But it needs to come with Multi-Year contracts.
Beep beep, boop boop. I'm a bot. Your videos make me graphics card very hard, Pat. Shaht aht Coach Saban
Players go somewhere u are going to okay. Alabama has holes and lack of depth
Booo hoo😢
And a crap coach
I understand why it’s frustrating from a coaches perspective. Especially one who is used to developing his players from the bench and having them stick around to see the field as a senior.
But he’s only considering his own perspective. This is a professional league now. And with the way their free agency process works, there really isn’t any programs anymore? Every team is just that this year’s version. The coaches move around so much, the players aren’t forced into staying for a given year. Why would a backup sit for 3 years waiting for his opportunity? Just to have another 5 star guy transfer in once the #1 finally graduates and he misses his chance?
The players gotta play the game at hand. And it isn’t the same game anymore. They need to look at what is best for them on a year to year basis. Which coordinator is a good fit, their system, the talent they’re competing against for playing time. A smart player would enter the portal every single year and take this into consideration.
He is jealous because the players are finally getting paid. I love this keep this system. College football has always been the nfl minor league now it is just out in the open 😅😅😂😂😂😂😂
You have to be a salty Auburn fan
Yes, but chaos is what they all seem to want.
Get rid of the transfer portal it’s a joke. That or start implementing contracts in the nil. Example we will give you $2.5M but you have to stay for 2 seasons minimum get that in writing
A joke is to think students shouldn’t be able to change school for what they deem a better playing opportunity. Other schools deserve to recruit players who are looking for a better program for them. Putting things in contracts like that will inevitably bring in guaranteed playing time, which can override coaching decisions, since boosters have a big say in coaches salaries as well
Like Saban didn't do?
Players getting paid did the same thing that these stooges getting paid did, made them lose there morals and only care about the next check. I think it’s just a little hypocritical.
I love NIL for the prayers. But they need to put a cap on it like they did for NFL rookies deals. Those guys were bombing so bad in tje nfl with those 30 million dollars guaranteed contracts. They need to limit transfer to 2 unless your coach take a job somewhere else. Then, they can transfer again. The max deal should be 100k
All the players who never ever got to see the field due to favoritism and all other manner of things now they can leave and get paid… that’s fair bruh… no one had any complaints before when players just had to shut up lol
@I_TheCreator are you an "if the coach would have put me in 4th qrt we would have won state" type of guy?
The issue is that society stopped teaching DELAYED GRATIFICATION - the ability to resist immediate rewards in favor of a more valuable reward later.
Hard when most kids have been raised by social media as well as entertainment media🤷♀️ (Especially because of COVID)
Its also an issue of comprehension and logical fallacy, with people readily making HASTY GENERALIZATIONS - drawing conclusions based on prior assumptions with little evidence.
Curry shoots 3s and is the best player, therfore I must shoot 3s to be the best player. Thats why the NBA strugglin rn.
😂😂😂 So Saban should've stayed at Michigan St, or LSU then correct?
Why is it when college athletes, providing the entertainment/labor want to be paid, it's a problem, but when whining little Nicky wanted more money he left or threatened to leave and that was ok?
@MJ-rl7pj staying in adversity does not mean staying in a failing culture. You jumped to the extreme of my argument, suggesting that people stay in every single bad situation at all times, which is a misrepresentation of my views. Instead, people need to use critical thinking when it comes to their success. I know guys in the portal now that are gonna be without a home after having full rides because they didn't want to sit for 2 years. That's impatience, not "betting on myself." Just my opinion though🤷🏾♀️
Counter point, why is it bad for players getting money now when they can play? Every talks about the nfl career is 3 years...and that's if you can make it there. Look at how many top hs guys flame out in college.
I see no problem with them getting their money now because we have see any player can have a devastating injury and never be the same and miss out on millions in the nfl.
Get it while you can because you never know what happens tomorrow. It's also the evening ground for ncaa across the board so the teams are not so top heavy with 5 teams having all the best players.
What's the point to get to the NFL if you are paying them in college? Pay them for jersey sales or any college equipment sales but other than that nah.
Social media and crybabies make another dumb decision
To get even more money and have a career? That’s the dumbest comments I ever seen
Cry baby, let the players get paid it’s new era
John Mateer better show out cause he’s public enemy number 1 rn (in my books)
2:29
Sticky finger bandit(allegedly)
The transfer portal has ruined college sports. Pay the kids but make them sign on the dotted line.
So a player like the Qb from Texas that transferred to Duke and had a great season would have been buried as a third stringer if it wasn’t for the portal.
ay Alabama Jones😂
Little Nicky is a quitter when he doesn't get his way. He quit the Dolphins amd stayed put of the pros because he didnt have total control and then he quit college football when he didny have total control. When it comes to adversity, little Nicky is a quitter.
I’m glad these players are getting paid what they are NCAA and schools made billions over the years off these players. Now they are getting their part. Yeah they can get out of tonight situations but they can transfer easy into better opportunities and get money while doing it when the NFL might not work out. Let them make the money and it evens things out with schools a bit.
The instant gratification generation will probably make me stop watching college football ...
Waaaaaaaaa.
Indiana couldn't handle it. For sure.
These college football players need to sign contracts so they cant just dip whenever.
GFYS
“Dip whenever” like the coaches? 🤦🏾♂️😂. The hypocrisy is comical at best
Should have to go program for 2 year min if takin nil money
The talent will be the same the motivations are just different I think people are still going to perform for that bag
So a coach that quit over adversity doesnt want other adults to do the same thing. Priceless.
Alabama Jones!!!
Let's go back to giving money under the table.. if you ain't cheating you ain't trying by golly😊
What's the incentive for "student" athletes to go to class and get an education...at least, the ones who are paid an absorbadent amount of money?
You’re delusional to assume before NIL students chose schools for academics. They went to primarily play football. Academics standards that were in place before, remain. Stop bitching about nonsense.
Please stop with the naive act.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
College football is completely dead.
Nah, it just isn't hidden anymore.
Wonder when Pat gunna stop acting ignorant. Like he’s obviously a smart guy built a huge platform for himself. But plays every side on literally every issue and pretends like nah i don’t know anything like bro who are u fooling
I understand players wanting to get paid but this whole thing with the NIL and the transfer portal needs to be looked at again. First and foremost with what college players can do now and still play and not loose a year? Players will know when they are getting a team mate who is only out for himself instead of being a team player long before they hit the NFL landscape? Doesn't NFL players under contract need to ask for a trade or release? Meanwhile a college athlete who got a scholarship to play says no I don't want to be here anymore I want to go here? Do they have to pay back the scholarship that could have gone to someone who would have been a dog fighting to earn their spot? I'm guessing yeah not so much. NCAA Football and Basketball used to be 2 of my favorite games back in the day. But if offer you a full scholarship, which means you have a chance at a higher education that is paid for but you still want to get paid more? So in many cases kids that worked and played their asses off to try get to the next level, which would be college? Mr. Bigfoot we are willing to give you a fully paid scholarship to play here for the next at least to 3 to 4 years? Nope sorry, You gave me a free ride through college but I'm gonna bounce? Because i didn't feel you gave me the chance ?
Your whole mentality is stupid. The scholarship is not a charity, nobody is holding hostage to schools to offer scholarships. They can refuse to give scholarships and let’s see what kind of football program they have. The athletic scholarship is an investment they get a big return on, and unlike your old dummy brain, these young players have figured out they deserve a piece of they pie, plus laws of this country deem it as such. Schools that don’t want to pay scholarships can refuse, & let those who want to offer do so, and boosters will do what they want. It’s not like coaches are getting paid professors money, even though they are also part of the university. They are paid millions, because they help bring in more millions. So do the players. These schools were getting alot of money and paying pennies in investments called scholarships.
Saban is a great coach and belongs in the HOF. His interviews are monotone and boring to listen to.
I hate this sh**, I’ve always dreamed of being a college football player but wasn’t the best athlete. Last year I just got out of the Army and after finishing my initial grad program in May, I was accepted into my dream school and will start next month. I’m 28, my body isn’t 100% but I want to get on their practice squad and fulfill that dream. However, thanks to this House v. NCAA and NIL BS that might not happen, this sucks!
🧢🧢🧢
Satan's just mad that Bama doesn't have the advantage of paying players while other schools didn't anymore and that the playing field is level.
With all the success that Nick Saban had and all those cut throat SEC programs around him, if there was dirt to be found, someone would have found it. They would have loved to topple the dynasty. You clearly don't understand the man that is Nick Saban. He is way more than just a coach. He quit coaching because he couldn't train boys to be men anymore which is where his and Mrs Terry's real passion was. When you are dealing with a bunch of paid professionals, you can't teach them anymore. If you don't think an 18 -22 year old athlete has anything to learn about being a man, I am sorry but you are wrong.
@thomasallisonstabler3478 haha you Saban Simp. He wants complete control of people which is why he bolted from the NFL and as soon as the transfer portal meant his archaic ways wouldn't work, he ran again.
Saban left coaching because he couldn’t dominate pay-to-play and new his window of dominance had ended
So. He still dominated
Saban stated after his retirement that the moment he and Mrs Terry knew it was time to hang up the whistle was the breakfast with the recruits where the moms were more interested in how much their sons were gonna be paid than with how they were going to learn to be men of character and worth that far exceeds financial worth.
@@thomasallisonstabler3478🤦🏾♂️😂😂😂 says the guy who made over a hundred million off of college football while his players got paid in “education” him and Mrs Saban made out like fat cats. Saban operated under a monopoly and quit as soon as he was going to be forced to complete in more fairer playing field. At one point under Saban, Alabama had three NFL starting qbs at 1st 2nd and 3rd string. This was also true for several other positions, the transfer portal took away his ability to hoard talent. That’s why he quit
I agree he did. But we are seeing the issue with these college kids. They get mad and leave. And you just won’t develop programs like that .. rather in the NFL, you are on a contract and must be released
NIL and the transfer portal need a bit more structure
Think of how Bill is going to recruit the best to play for the best! 👏
Giving kids money is a terrible idea. College ball is gonna be soft and lose all the things that made it great. NIL will ruin college athletics.
Honestly nick sabban is trash, nobdy cared about him other than he had the best football team….now that the NIL is a thing and he can’t just already have the best team going for the next 2-5 years running so why not come to Alabama. NFL proved easily he was trash and he went and has success in college, then the NIL came and wow he’s gone 😂
