2023 Olaus Alinen #WatchTheFinnish (to Bama)

Man, y’all say this stuff like there haven’t been plenty of recruits known to troll. It’s actually rather common. Shockingly, teenagers can be jerks

I’m not saying this kid for sure is (in fact I doubt it, just meant it would come off as a troll job), but come on

Anyway it’s not worth arguing over. Not trying to derail the thread with that stuff lol

Didn’t say there wasn’t. Just that there’s no evidence that’s what the case is here.

 

[NorthEastCane]

No, I'm referring to the long-standing habitual illegal bagmen payment that Alabama has been using for decades. You are referring to legal pay from a businessman using NIL.

If they don't get called out on it by the NCAA, the net effect is the same.

 

[Yoyo82]

You shouldn’t group Tennessee and UF. Tennessee is def a big boy in todays world.

NIL wise they're a big boy...

But they're still a 2nd rate program...

 

[NorthEastCane]

The whole “recruitment isn’t finished until signing day” rant is the exact stuff we were clowning rivals about a week ago. That’s a weak take. Especially in today’s era, you’d be a fool to think these NIL deals don’t have stipulations and contractual agreements binding players to schools far ahead of signing day. It’s a new era.

I'm no lawyer but someone can make the case that the bolded may cross the line for "pay for play".

Interesting. What do you consider Miami then?

Miami is 1st rate.

Miami is 1st rate.

Ah. Got it. Interesting perspective.

 

[bobbydigius]

Ah. Got it. Interesting perspective.

To be fair whether it be Nebraska or UCF every fan believes their school’s program is first rate.

You didn’t see me argue with him lol but we all know nobody else outside a Miami fan would agree that if Tennessee is second rate Miami must be first rate

Agree. They have the NIL factor, but not the NIL+title run+NFL 1st rounder pedigree of Bama, OSU, now UGA.

I'm a Miami Hurricanes fan from Georgia.

It's hard enough to call Tennessee 2nd rate.

They've been mostly irrelevant except for a short 5 year run since the 60s. And they have the worst fans.

I understand but college football fans take history into account no matter how long ago it was. And that’s a storied program.

I dont see why the relevance of Tennessee couldn't be debated without throwing shade at Miami. Fine, the vols are the next Alabama thats great. But when your on a Miami message board, someone says they consider Tenn a second rate program and your response is "what do you consider Miami then"...

Thats like if I said some random chick on the street was ugly and someone said well what do you think your girl is then. Right hook would be coming right behind that response.

 

[Harry Heinous]

Modern football era - Miami is on another tier from Tennessee. That’s really not even debatable.

And I’ll probably eat that right hook and you’re gonna have a long night brother. I didn’t throw shade. I asked a legitimate question. I’m sorry that bothers you that I can be objective

Modern college football era? I’m not so sure about that. How many kids on the team next year would have been alive to see Miami great?

 

[MumbleRap]

It’s all about how it’s worded. Technically it would be pay for work.

Stipulations regarding being at corporate office X amount of times weekly make it impossible to attend a different university. It’s very smart.

 

[Page305]

Yeah we goin 2/5 this week.

To be honest..... That's not even bad at all. Based on our history, that's **** good. We wouldn't even be in consideration just a yr ago

ehhh.. lol.. We sucked for awhile

You’re screaming into the wind my good man

But I agree with you

The good news is we just put ourselves in a position over one off-season to change all of this
