Bama and Saban invented the pay-to-play scheme long ago.

Now the chickens are coming home to roost.

These are tough times for Bama. Players getting paid legally, instead of under the table Bama payments.

Transfer portal killing Bama's depth.

Dodge discontinuing the Charger.

Welcome to parody, you spoiled bitches.

Hard to see a lot of positives so far.



Maybe from the point of view of a fan or coach. It's better for the players and that's what matters most.

I personally like the portal. Gives more parity to college football.

*parity.

Though a parody would be appropriate and entertaining.

The Portal swings both ways, and as the coaching carousel rolls on after Saban's retirement, 30-day windows open, and there is a 30-day window in April after DeBoer has his staff and recruiting rolling and spring training - and after Harbaugh maybe goes to the pros and that window opens as has Arizona's now, etc. So it "giveth and taketh away." Note that Courtney Morgan, DeBoer's "General Manager" for player management, built this year's rosters at Washington and Michigan. In truth, we need to put players on contracts just like the pros so that we all can have some boundaries in this process.

The NCAA needs to at least go as far as players signing contracts if no other corrections to the system are gonna happen.

Deboer is a good coach and is going to win some games. The problem is everyone coming in and picking the Bama roster apart. If players keep jumping ship then he is gonna have to start from scratch just about and that gonna set him back 2-3 years.

The new norm is having to flip the roster. In KD’s case, he was going to have to do that anyway to run his system well.

You said bama fans loved the transfer portal. Now you’re saying some bama fans liked to use the portal as an opportunity to troll other fanbases.

Both are 100% true.

Jermaine Burton and Eli Ricks are prime examples.
