Yes but it’s above the table now . But now Goergia , LSU Nebraska and Penn State etc have the same money or more above the table. So they lose 1-3 kids because of that . Depending on the kids it could make a huge difference and over a couple of recruiting cycles it takes its toll .
Bama fans are losing it and it is so funny.

Texas fans are all over the map. Their thought has progressed from WTF to "we lost to the defending NCs and could have won" so they're not on the ledge like the Bama fans.
I said this a couple of weeks ago and I will say it again, their fans and media need to lay off of Manning. Let the kid learn and play. He's good and can be great but that was game #1 as it being "his" team. The expectations are ********..
Yep there a major difference between losing to the defending national champions ( preseason 3 ) on the road and losing to a team that was 2-10
Last year. I agree on Arch also .
I do find it a little silly that you say that Alabama was paying players under the table (without proof) then condemn husker fans for speaking out about unproven rumors about frost
🫤
Timing doesn't suggest this. Even with a downgrade at HC, Nebraska was still near the top for four more seasons.

Alabama to vacate football wins from 2005-07
Sixteen athletics teams at Alabama have been penalized for their involvement in improperly obtaining free textbooks for other students, with the football team ordered to vacate an unspecified number of wins between 2005 and 2007.

And that is just free books.
Now, when you find me the link to the story of Frost getting hammered on the golf course, I will be happy to read it!
Meh books is like a ham sandwich. Where is the link of Money exchanging hands?Alabama to vacate football wins from 2005-07

I turned on McKeon because he played like *** his senior year, then proceeded to whine to the media about how he was picked on.
I think Saban’s success was also result of his ability to coach his coaches. He demanded excellence from them, and he provided a consistent and supportive environment for them to flourish. A lot of coaches have spent time on Saban’s staff and seemed to be better for it.
Kind of skipped the part where he won a National Championship at LSU, didn't ya?
I guess, but LSU has been known to do some cheating too.
He just perfected it at Bama with the boosters.
He averaged about 9.5 wins a year at LSU, which is really good and it was clearly the start of him learning how to coach and how to finally teach a FB trap and how to line up a 3-4. It had nothing to do with amping up the cheating
He was a dud at MSU? Then basically rebuilt LSU and went on to win a Natty there. His only mistake was the Dolphins. The guy can flat out coach, manage as a CEO and demand respect from coaches and all the players, just ask any that have coached or played for him. Look at his coaching Tree over the last few years.
You are fool to say otherwise. Sure, they may have paid players, but the boosters never coached them and in the end that is what matters.
I remember what it was like on these boards in 2002 when fans from other teams would come here to pour gas on the flames...as another poster said it's one of those cycles when you fall from the top, wonder if Bama's fall will continue and get as ugly as ours was.
Yep. That never ends well.

Are you saying he was amazing at MSU?
LSU is a great place to coach.
He sucked in the NFL
Went to another great place to coach and was amazing.
Here is a great new post from Bama fans losing it:
The rich franchises in the NFL subsidize the lower tier. It supposedly is to promote competition. Ohio State, Texas, Notre Dame and Texas A&M may have to subsidize Alabama for the same reason. Note Texas killed two conferences with their greed. The greedy college conferences have created a monster lead in the beginning by the SEC. Expanding the SEC was a mistake. Small regional conferences with a 12 team play off system would be good. Love of the game does not exist in sports now if is all about the money.

This makes zero sense to me. Zero. Other teams subsidizing Bama?? What?? ..are they under the impression other programs care if Bama comes back down to earth? ...and that they'd help them??
Got our first "3rd party" inside info!!! I have been waiting for this:
3rd party info...but an athlete on my team knows an athlete on a team at Bama that shares study hall with a few football players. Apparently, they said Deboer doesn't get on them, and when he does, they pay him no attention. So there ya go...

Maybe a team like Bama could help out a team like...South Alabama, that could use some money, right? I mean, that seems fair.
That's so effing stupid i'm embarrassed to share the same planet with whoever thinks that.
Could you imagine being a Bama fan...a fan of a team that bought recruits at such a high level for 15 years (and trust me, I don't care, I wish NU was back on top no matter how they did it) and NOW after that amazing run they had...you have the balls to be like "Well, maybe other teams should give Bama money"
My god.
no, did I say that?? However, someone who hired him thought he was a pretty damn good coach even then.......A guy named Tom Osborne also knew a bit about him too.
You do not think Nebraska players were not paid? What about Roid era? Those were years where we dominated, but now we have been irrelevant for 20 plus years and embarrassingly so. Let's laugh at a program light years ahead of where we are at and years to even get to a high level again. It's reality.
Why don't you just ask a question or make a posts and just keep on replying to yourself as you seem to know just about everything.....
I know the Skers did things agains the rules and I even said I don't care about that, I just want the wins.
You seem to be getting really upset, which is kind of funny.
Here is another great one, that us Husker fans did as well (Bring in the PeterS brothers and WiNstrom):
We need to bring Ro, Courtney Upshaw, and Ryan Anderson back as “player development”. The foolishness would stop immediately.

quit posting your drivel and it solves all the problems and annoyance. You a half way make a decent product turn to crap.
No one said he was amazing at MSU. But most of us would say he was certainly not a dud at MSU. Just because he isn’t a dud doesn’t mean he was amazing. There are lots of different adjectives you could use that are between those descriptions that YOU chose. Based on his results, he was offered the head coaching job at LSU. That is clearly an upgrade so SOMEONE was impressed. But nice deflection from the fact that while discussing his record at previous schools you completely left out winning a National Championship. I’m really proud of you for getting 78 posts in before lunch though, bud.
I think he is a great coach and in the modern era he is the best coach.
But to act like it was done without buying players is crazy talk.
It will be just our luck if he gets canned by Alabama and then gets hired by Iowa and is a pain in our *** for the next 20 years.

Another well thought out sniffer. You obviously crave attention or are lonely since your dad dropped you on your head and left.
In fairness - did you go back and read your post he responded to?
