Dabo gon Dabo

He has some good points.
But he seems to be chiming in now that he doesn’t have the advantage of the shadow booster anymore.
Didn’t see him complaining or worried about the system when he was winning and landing whoever he wanted.
In other words Jimbo is probably saying everything is fine and the players are finally getting what they deserve, but Dabo now wants to highlight sht that’s been known for years. Amazing how things are bad when they’re not going your way.

Spot on. Everyone likes status quo in life when it benefits them, and change when status quo does not.
It is just blatant self interest.
Of course had the coaches and universities thrown some crumbs to the athletes over the past 40 years of shoe/uniform/autographs deals/ etc… then maybe the pendulum in the system would not have swung so far to the other side.
But over time the pendulum generally settles in the middle and likely will here as well. But it may take 5-10 year or more of NIL insanity before that happens.

Portal comments are the most interesting. Alabama has had 10+ consecutive years of top 2 classes and they still rape and pillage the portal every year.

For the best of the best. Keep their young 4 & 5 stars on the bench ready for development
 
be interesting to see just how good of an actual coach he is now that his brilliant offensive mind is gone, and his brilliant defensive mind.

If there was uniformity across college football, we would’ve had shadow churches paying every top P5 player for every school.

But now this humble brag cheating ****, wants things back to the way they were? Sure he does, that way he has the advantage.

Fūck you Dabo, we’re coming for you, bltch.

I'm sure Nebraska is pining for the days when they could sign 300 players a year. They're not coming back.

Neither is Clemson.
 
Hopefully some of these blue chips start transferring to the good guys.
 
If college football needs what he’s asking for, so does your job. I’ve never been capped and neither have any of you. If you wanted more, you only had to find someone to pay it to you. It’s America! 🇺🇸 These kids will get nothing for free. Most will still get nothing, outside of an education and a job just like us. I’m 100% on the side of free market capitalism. The coaches, universities, big companies and anyone else in the mix have profited for years without a cap. It’s time the ones doing the work get paid. Let the university’s, coaches, the NCAA (a for profit institution) and everyone else split it with THEM! **** Dabo and anyone who’s uncomfortable with sharing the money.That ************ makes over 💰 $10,000,000 💰 a year. 🐷 He’s a pig just like the rest of them. Incase you weren’t sure, most every college coaches salary is paid for with taxes. They’re state employees. That’s insane and we’re taking about kids not keeping the money they earn. Lmao get the **** out of here with that ****!

There is a difference between acknowledging that NIL is likely going to have a negative impact on college football and trying to justify that the kids shouldn't get paid.
 
It's a **** time to be a coach, besides the pay.

This NIL era, where money will be the deciding factor for some, will frustrate the **** out of the best of them. You can recruit their socks off, but some are going to be all about the money. It's out, front and center, and everyone is doing it. Yes, money existed before, but nowhere like today.

Add in the portal, what a mess. Good players on good teams are realistic candidates to transfer to the elite teams. Got a better monetary offer, ship out. Don't play right away, hit the road. Lots of players shoot themselves in the foot thinking the grass is green on the other side because they aren't playing wherever they're at. Most should keep grinding and bide their time, but you see year one and two players bouncing left and right.

Will P5 split off, guess we'll see. At some point, balance will hopefully be found, but who knows. What A&M did this past class is crazy. If it works out, a ship or two, who else will step up like that? There's only so many that can and then college football is more like MLB, no cap, and the teams who spend the most win. You see it in European soccer as well, super teams and a bunch of fodder for them to chew through.

Miss the old days, not just us winning, but without all this mess. Players by and large made a commitment and saw it through. Kids now, chasing money and don't have the patience to wait their turn.

He's always been a whiner. CFB has bred a culture that has allowed schools in college towns to cheat (by paying players $ and covering up their players' legal troubles). Times are changing and now NIL favors the big city teams with deep pockets.

Honestly those schools should stop crying about it, the sport has suffered from the same 4-5 teams being elite. The sport is much better when the traditional ~15 powers are on a level playing field. Miami and USC being competitive again will do wonders for the popularity of the sport.
