Interesting guy to be flying so under the radar. I saw he ran a 4.38 40, did some kick returning in high school (had a TD), track guy. I felt Alabama needed a bit of depth to back up the main scholarship guys, and bridge the gap to the walkons and it seems like he can do this. Basically just...

I hate the idea of G League players being in the NCAA, but there are multiple. For some reason the NCAA and Sankey decided the type of contract they sign (all pros) is what mattered. It makes as much sense at this. 5 year eligibility, no exceptions, no pro league contracts. Simple, done, clean.

I did take a look at what Louisville did running the ball when he was there. They were solid before he took over the offensive line, but they were 4.7 (38th), 5.7 (7th), and 5.1 (23rd) when he was there. So, he's certainly capable of teaching solid run blocking. Definitely makes me feel better...

It's been reported that Alabama is going to hire Richard Owens as tight ends coach. This is interesting because he's actually been an offensive line coach lately, and he was even a run game coordinator. Very small sample size, but they were solid that year (4.8) which is better than the year...

I elaborated a lot on the financial situation and economic realities but honestly this is the most comprehensive breakdown I've seen. If you look over it though, you'll see the economic realities. Alabama absolutely can compete financially in this (NIL) era, they might not be able to do so...

I'd just be happy with a run coordinator at all.

I kept thinking we'd see that, but that goes back to the first year. After the Vanderbilt loss I felt like that was the wake up moment. Then the Oklahoma loss in 2024. Then the Michigan loss... then the FSU loss, then the Georgia loss. By the time you get to the Indiana game, we're talking about...

I agree with that, and I also agree that there are legal hurdles. However, there's nothing that entitles an athlete to go to X school. For instance, let's say a player is on his 8th year and he's ruled eligible by the courts. I don't think they can actually compel the University of Alabama to...

I've begun to believe the best path forward is just some sort of a breakaway. It doesn't necessarily have to be completely from the NCAA entirely, in fact I think it might offer a bit more legal protection to stay within that framework. For the sake of argument, imagine the SEC, Big 10 and...

I hope there can be some sort of enforcement. Not that I'm a big fan of the NCAA or what have you, but right now things are pretty much lawless so if you get some sort of sensible enforcement then the insanity can calm down.

In the long run, if Alabama doesn't lose too much ground, there's some real potential there for them to be one of the most stable NIL programs. If what I read is correct, there's over 100 people who have donated a million or more to the athletic department. They lack a billionaire, but they...

If there is no difference, then kiss the notion of age limits or eligibility requirements goodbye anyway. You can't go out there and say we're not hiring people over this age because we decided not to. You will absolutely get sued and honestly you probably should if that's your only...

One of the main reasons the NCAA is losing in court though is their absolutely insane inconsistency. They let some pro players play, they let some players get extra years of eligibility. I do think the age thing could be framed as discriminatory, and also they never upheld that standard before...

That's why I said former, and it is a relevant delineation. Logically, no one wants former NFL, MLB, or NBA players playing in NCAA sports. That makes no sense. But the problem is it also makes no sense to limit it to a few select pro organizations. It has to be all of them. That includes minor...

I don't like age limit being the parameter because it's not really in the spirit of the sport and how it's been done. It also would create this weird thing where if you graduated early you could potentially get more years of college eligibility. A: 5 to play 5 The limit of eligibility have been...
