If they are paid as athletes, I assume they'll be fine paying tuition, then?
I doubt fair market value will ever happen.
If the players would threaten to go on strike, or sue the NCAA and schools, they would probably get something along the lines of an allowance, but everyone would be equal. The star quarterback would get the same amount as a third string punter.

With the exception of LSU, every team that has beaten Saban over the past 6 years has run the hurry-up offense. If he can't deal with it, he needs to throw in the towel and retire instead of campaigning the NCAA to make his job easier.

Nick Saban: Liar, liar, pants on fire!
In his latest interview, Saban claims “I had nothing to do with idea of the 10-second rule”, but:
In his latest interview, Saban claims “I had nothing to do with idea of the 10-second rule”, but:
- He was the one who had his cronies in the NCAA sneak the item onto the agenda.
- He was the one who snuck off to the meeting of the Football Rules Committee and made a speech (plea).
- The first study he cited never existed. He just pulled that out of his ass.
- The second study he referred to was done by 1 school for their 2003 season and only dealt with concussions.
- Are you fucking kidding me! - If a team can't compete, they should either drop to a lower division, or just STOP playing football!

For once, the NCAA did something right. However, they did leave it open for a future fuck-up:

Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
Time for some college football chatter again! Pre-season Top 25 AP poll looks like this:
1 Florida State (56) 0-0 1543
2 Alabama 0-0 1455
3 Oklahoma (3) 0-0 1382
4 Oregon (1) 0-0 1314
5 Auburn 0-0 1271
6 Ohio State (1) 0-0 1267
7 UCLA 0-0 1085
8 Michigan State 0-0 1050
9 South Carolina (1) 0-0 1009
10 Baylor 0-0 965
11 Stanford 0-0 955
12 Georgia 0-0 905
13 LSU 0-0 833
14 Wisconsin 0-0 654
15 USC 0-0 627
16 Clemson 0-0 535
17 Notre Dame 0-0 509
18 Arizona State 0-0 358
19 Ole Miss 0-0 346
20 Texas A&M 0-0 266
21 Kansas State 0-0 257
22 Nebraska 0-0 228
23 North Carolina 0-0 175
24 Texas 0-0 143
25 Washington 0-0 142
Others receiving votes: Missouri 126, Florida 122, UCF 102, Mississippi State 74, Oklahoma State 56, TCU 54, Michigan 53, Iowa 49, Miami (FL) 45, Duke 41, Louisville 32, Marshall 27, Brigham Young 18, Boise State 13, Virginia Tech 12, Louisiana-Lafayette 12, Texas Tech 8, Cincinnati 6, Minnesota 6, Northwestern 5, Fresno State 4, Oregon State 4, Houston 2, Georgia Tech 2, Arkansas 1, Arizona 1, Northern Illinois 1
I'd like to know who the idiot who ranked South Carolina #1 was. Texas is at #24 and Mizzou and Miami are unranked but both received a fair number of votes. I don't get too upset about pre-season rankings since they never look anything even close to the final poll at the end of the season. Things get started 3 weeks from tomorrow night!!

Could start as soon as game 2 this year, vs Michigan State. Hoping the Spartans graduated enough talent on defense that the Ducks will prevail.
UCLA vs Texas @ Texas September 13th should be interesting :fight:
You probably would have been better off if Pat Narduzzi would have taken a Head Coaching job. There is still a lot of talent on the Spartan defense and the offense should be better than last year. Everybody seems to want to just give the Big Ten title to Ohio State but they have to go into East Lansing this year. I think that if Sparty can get by the Ducks that they will be in the playoffs this year. But enough talking about it, lets strap 'em up and get this thing going.

Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
UCLA vs Texas @ Texas September 13th should be interesting :fight:
This will be an outstanding test of the benefits or liabilities of the coaching methods of Charlie Strong. I'll tell you one thing....if Johnathan Gray and Malcolm Brown can't get it done at RB, the 'Horns are in deep shit since Strong has run Joe Bergeron out of Austin. What's going on at UT reminds me more of a purge than a regime change....and Strong is brutally leading the charge, wherever it's leading. UCLA will surely be in the top 10 when these two tangle at Jerryworld so it could get ugly in a hurry if things don't go right between now and then as "Camp Strong" is underway in full swing as this is being written.
I agree. Some of his changes seem heavy-handed and could backfire. Fans and alumni will be looking for a quick fix. If he doesn't deliver, calls for his head on a pike may come soon. Normally, I would say give the guy some time, but some of his decisions could easily be used as ammunition against him.
. During the seven years Saban has served as head football coach, Alabama has compiled an overall official record of 74[a]–15 (.831) (79–15 on the field), seven bowl game appearances with five victories, three SEC Western Division championships, two SEC championships, and three national championships. PRETTY DAMN IMPRESSIVE ..................
So what you're saying is - Alabama is a nobody.
It certainly helps when the head of the NCAA is Saban's best friend and the head of the enforcement committee is a Bama grad.
And if you think they're not cheating, go back check on the mountain of dirt Yahoo Sports dug up on them. The only question I have is why did Yahoo refuse to turn over the evidence to the NCAA? Do they believe the NCAA will make the evidence disappear?
And, like I've said before, the only thing more obnoxious than a Bama fan after a win is a Bama fan after a loss.
War Eagle!
