This is maybe the most walking a fine line wit I've seen here in 15+ years.
The University has nothing to do with NIL collectives, so no a FOIA request would not work.
Even if there’s no university signature on a document, there is close to zero chance that there are no emails or text messages involving the deal, and they would all presumably be discoverable upon a request under the Alabama Open Records Act. All we need is a journalist with curiosity and tenacity…
“ so he won’t be receiving a paycheck” would be a definite step in the right direction.
Not to nitpick, but, aww who am I kidding? I love to pick nits! Sark had one game as Alabama OC with Hurts; the Hunter Renfroe pick play loss to Clemson after Kiffin got ousted…
Sure, it makes sense. Think!
Oh I get it. It just blows my mind that anyone would stick with such a player/agreement well after the point where his leverage was at its peak (Saban retirement transfer portal) when it is clearly to the detriment to the team and the coach’s own career. It’s like a suicide pact. How could anyone complain if Milroe got benched after his atrocious showing against Tenn? OU? That is what doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. What could he possibly do? Tank our season? Already happened.
Find a new NIL brand because this one has made Alabama players into laughing stocks.
LANK sank and quickly Tanked...............time to purge it from our collective memories
it’s a summer softball travel ball silly girl motto that should have died the second we got into fall practice. But we allowed it to become a monster that destroyed the team. Im not even mad about Vandy and Michigan players throwing it back in their faces they brought it upon themselves.
He's correct. I'm sure the University stays clear of involvement in the deals, so it couldn't be "FOIed"...
Well, think again. If some of the key players are financially tied to him. If it cost them money when Milroe was benched...
I get that, and yet the world is full of examples of ill-advised communication that unmasked the truth. Hugh Freeze wasn’t pantsed at Ole Miss because he had a written agreement with a hooker. Peter Strzok wasn’t performing official FBI duties. People can’t help leaving discoverable digital trails…
if 4 comes back I might switch my allegiance for a year. I’m thinking South Carolina.
I’m not totally sold on that . They talk in meetings, at least I hope they do, about how to block when things break down , same Way they talk about how receivers run on scramble drills. With Jalen holding the ball, not stepping up and helter skelter scramble style, the OLine is lost on what exactly they should do. The strength of the OLine was the interior, so you would think they would push Out and around to form th pocket, but Jalen likes to back pedal instead of stepping up . Tackles are taught to use a speed rushers momentum to force him past the QB. Jalen’s back pedaling puts him in the path of edge rushers.
