Tears Gator Tears

To be honest, everyone dropped bags. Anyone who claims their school’s alumni have never given illegal payments to athletes is a liar or doesn’t know anything. it’s just that some schools have been allowed to be blatant about it.

Daunte Culpepper drove a Lincoln Navigator when I was at UCF. It was literally their second season as a D1 program. The difference is that Alabama’s whole squad got new cars, houses for family, fake six figure jobs for mom and dad, etc.

Let me be more specific - ALUMNI. Alumni teams. Larger schools had more alumni to tag team each desired player. If it took four or five to meet the price - no problem - they could still fill a roster every year.

Not the Universities, themselves.

Regardless, ND ain't playing that game (wifey is ND alum). They had Keon Keeley committed, and lost Peyton Bowen on signing day, specifically because they didn't meet both players' asking price.

They definitely have a collective, and the rumor is that Kyle Hamilton was pulling in $1M or so during his final year on campus, but the admin and coaching staff are pretty clear that NIL "numbers" will not be discussed until the player signs an LOI.

Most ND fans are worried Freeman (whose a beast on the recruiting trail) will eventually tire of it and move on to greener pastures if he proves he can be a playoff-caliber coach.

Alumni were certainly playing the game in the 70's and 80's. And I see little reason to assume everything stopped suddenly.

Maybe it's slowed down since then, but no one can swear either way.

I mean the proof is there, man. If they were playing the game, they'd have kept Keeley and Bowen, and probably would've added Dante Moore.

It's a major criticism for fans of the program right now. They just aren't playing the NIL game until a kid gets on campus.

Just got busted fishing for a QB - before he entered the portal.

Yeah, they do the same crap as everyone else.

Tell me how it’s in the plan to get rid of a second team all SEC O-lineman, for a line that otherwise was not very good. Somebody explain the logic of that to me because I’m having a hard time with it.
