You beat me to it.

I think this is just gonna make it easier for these kids to get into trouble and possibly make it more dangerous for them off the field. People will begin to take advantage of these kids more than ever watch and see. There will be more harm than good come from this.
So true. Young athletes aren't known for being bastions of self control and moderation. There are plenty of exceptions but there are plenty of ones who will get in trouble too. The sports pages are going to be full of stories in these college towns.I agree with you. Money and the evils that come with it have a way of ruining most everything. This is the part I'm most curious to see shake out. Surely the people ponying the money have enough foresight to make the deal contingent on playing time. Kid signs a big deal, gets that first check and goes out to celebrate. Finds himself arrested for stealing a parking boot and cut from the team. Just like that his deal is gone and the fine print says he owes the money he received back plus some for breach of contract. I think we will soon see kids ruining their lives instead of just their college football career.
Oh the big uglies blocking for him will feel just warm and fuzzy about this.
Haters can hate on Saban all they want. Nic is not going to make a media statement that can be defrauded easily and hurt his program. Young did it just like any sharp private company he hired a media firm to market him. They get a cut in these deals, so not all that quoted money is his to keep.

Meanwhile, Georgia Tech's QB arrived an hour earlier without much attention.
I'm not a Saban hater and never have been. The link proves my point. Saban didn't lie but it's not the whole truth. I don't blame him he is going to do everything in his power to hang onto his recruiting in the face of NIL which has the potential to make his job harder. His statement was a shout out to all recruits.... look I have players already making ungodly numbers.... He knee he was getting that question at some point and he knew that's how he would answer that as he knows recruits would eat that answer up. That was an answer full of Hyperbole!!! There's other players that have signed deals just like he did but they haven't got ungodly money at this point approaching a million dollars. In fact its probably likey he hasn't received a penny yet?
When all y’all lifelong dawg fans quit watching the dawgs will finally win a natty. I’ll remind you and you know who ?This will likely be my last season for college football. It was a good long run but team sports are in the toilet now.
Hyperbole may have not been the right word. My point is many other players have signed similar deals but Saban is the first coach that has come out and said he has a player that is making ungodly money. At least that I've heard and that's why so much has been made about it. He just took advantage of the question to make a huge recruiting pitch. That was calculated. Saban being Saban. Nothing wrong with that. My point was the qb probably hasn't made a dime yet and there is no telling how much he may make from that deal at least what I read. If there was a number that he has agreed to that is near 7 digits that he will in fact get, I stand corrected.How is it hyperbole if Young has those contracts in place? He gave them projected revenue, same as any business.
Know that I don’t like this in college sports.
