I guess Primetime and Saban will no longer appear together in Aflac commercials.

This seems to be a legal way to enact the Southern Methodist University alumni scam.

Auburn can brag about being ahead of their time ... with how much they payed Cam Newton to sign up over a decade ago. LOL

Maybe D1. But the rest of the divisions are able to have real playoffs and some play without scholarships. The way it should be.
The NFL can create their own farm league.

We can only hope. We have needed a minor league to replace the NCAA plantation for decades.

Paying college athletes is far from anything new and it’s pretty widespread.
Also there’s a whole lot of untraceable ways to do it.....living in a southern college football mecca is very educational.

Just when Saban had the system rigged so Bama would always make the playoff, someone is trying to rig it in a different direction? No wonder he’s outraged.

Amateur status of college players was equivalent to (even better than) a salary cap.
Now that players can make money off their likeness and endorsements, players are going to flock to the colleges with the biggest media markets, with an alignment of power imbalances that will be more akin to MLB.
It wont happen right away, but give it time

Everything Emmert has touched going back to his stint and the AD at the University of Washington has turned to shit.

Saban is pissed off because Texas A&M alumni have a lot more money than Alabama alumni; A LOT more.

You are right. In a small town college football mecca, paying off players is much easier with a compliant local press.

Well, the next Deion and Saban commercial shoot should be quite interesting.
