We need a Duke Johnson type recruit who is coming to Miami no matter what and we tell him to go undercover for us and collect as much money as he can from as many schools possible and bring down the entire SEC

Lamar Miller also is a perfect example

That sumbitch got 400 relatives going to the championship game. Section 141 is made up of the whole Tagoviola family and Nicky Satan's wife.
 
The whole family is on some borderline crazy ish. Read an article in sports illustrated not too long ago where Tua said that his dad would whoop him if he played badly in games. That's some Joe Jackson ish (that's Jackson 5 Joe Jackson, not Miami DE Joe Jackson.

The SEC is making lots of money but overall college football attendance is going down and they can’t even sell out the NC game without huge reduction of ticket prices. If CFB continues at its current pace it will wind up being a regional sport.....

At that point, they may call the calvary in. The NCAA only cares about making money. Once the funds stop coming in, maybe they'll throw together a half *** investigation led by Marky Mark,

Looking at this objectively, how could you be mad that these kids are selling their talents to the highest bidder?

I’d be willing to say that pretty much everyone on this board does the same exact thing in their own respective careers. Soo how can you blame these kids? ITS CAPITALISM! A huge reason why our country is so great.

Where do I have a problem with it? I have a problem with it all being under the table and “illegal” from a NCAA standpoint.

I’m totally okay with these kids getting paid, it’s the right thing to do! Sell your talents to the highes bidder! BUT this should all be out in the open and not being blantantly hidden from the average fan like it is today. That is the worst part of it.

I would argue this is more like politicians getting bought by lobbyists and super pacs than it is free market capitalism.
 
Folks here are jumpier than a guy who’s wife is home amd a stranger’s car is in the driveway.

All the kid said was ask his dad about why his dad preferred alabama.

Why wouldn’t his dad prefer alabama? USC hasn’t exactly been Alabama level recently. Saban has the factory working. Hard to argue with a dad who sends his son there.

Not like USC wouldn’t pay for a QB, either.
