Hoopie 6 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 This is an article by Ray Melick (Bammerham News). It references a Chicago Tribune article from the day prior. Do the fans call it the "Saban Rule" ??????..............Of course!!!.......It is what it is!!!! Is new NCAA rule aimed at stopping Alabama's Nick Saban? Tuesday, February 05, 2008 Maybe it is just a coincidence that the first year noted recruiting fanatic Nick Saban is back in college football, the NCAA passes a rule that prohibits head coaches from visiting high schools during the spring evaluation period. Maybe it is just coincidence that the first year Saban is back in the Southeastern Conference, the league's coaches overwhelmingly vote in favor of the rule, which, just a few years ago, many of these same coaches voted against. Maybe, as a Southeastern Conference official put it, it simply was time to institute a rule to protect SEC coaches from their own popularity. Advertisement Saban insists he is not paranoid. But since coming back into the league, he's been the subject of numerous allegations of secondary violations, even referred to in a story Monday in the Chicago Tribune as "the most blatant violator of the (spring contact) rule." In the past, college coaches were allowed to evaluate high school players during the spring, but not actively recruit. That meant no direct contact with prospects. Any contact had to be unintentional and brief - although "brief" was never clearly defined. At the January NCAA convention, the SEC proposed legislation to prohibit head coaches from making off-campus spring evaluations. It passed unanimously, and became effective immediately. "The intent of the (old) rule was when a head coach from a big-time program walked into a (high) school in the spring to evaluate, he couldn't have contact with prospects," said Greg Sankey, SEC associate commissioner for NCAA compliance. "But with the popularity of our head coaches, the rule put them in difficult situations. There have been enough enforcement issues over this issue lately that we felt the best thing to do was remove (the head coaches) from the difficult situation entirely." Saban said he agrees with the conference's position. "We are put in difficult situations," he said. "We walk into a school and people want autographs, pictures, but I always tell coaches, `I can't talk to a prospect at all.' And I never do." Saban, who said he visited as many as 100 high schools last spring, said he and his staff "have 35 instances last year of other coaches sitting down and talking with players in the spring - clear violations. But I never turn other guys in." Saban is disappointed, because he loves going to high schools to watch spring practice, and believes such visits by head coaches help promote the game at the high school level. Saban also knows he has been frequently accused of secondary violations such as illegal contact in the spring. And if Saban is guilty of violating the rules, then he should be punished. But this rule change smacks of coaches who don't work as hard as Saban and Florida's Urban Meyer - another coach often accused of illegal spring contact - deciding that, rather than be held accountable for their actions, it is easier simply to make a rule against it. "You know, I don't ever worry about what other people do," Saban said. "An awful lot of people seem to worry about what we do. Are we aggressive? Yes. But in no way do we violate the rules. People that know me know that. I can't control what other people think." Or, apparently, the rules the NCAA makes as a result of what those people think.

I never said if someone does something they must be cheating....NEVER....I'll challenge you to show me where I ever said such a thing. I said, UAT CHEATS for neary 100 years....PERIOD. It just took bryant leaving uat and thus uat losing their control of the NCAA to get caught. You need to take a year off from all message board activity and read some history books. Start with your drunken coaches autobiography where he ADMITTED to paying players and move on from there. Sorry but many of us have been around a very long time and there are no secrets to how uat and bryant operated and how uat continues to operate. At least 3 of the times Auburn went on probation it was at the hands of uat. Period. Learn your schools history besides all your fabricated nc's.

Ya'll laugh at us when we call you cheaters, because it sounds like we think we never cheated, so I was just asking why ya'll do it. I assure you that I have never said that Coach Bryant didn't drink, and I wouldn't go so far as to say that I believe that he never got drunk. What I did say was that it was in poor taste to call this man that has gone on to his rewards, a drunk. I also have met an Auburn coach at a party one time for an Auburn player from my hometown that was being honored and he was quite drunk, but I feel that it would be in poor taste to come on this board or any other board and say this about the man. I hope the fact that a person may have gotten drunk in public before does not make them a bad person, or a cheater, because I would have to say that I am in big trouble, as I would venture to say a lot of people on this board would be also. I think that football coaches should only be judged by what they do concerning football, and lets remember after all that they are only human.

I understand what you are saying, and not once did I say that I thought that Bama has never cheated. My question was, why do Auburn fans constantly call us cheaters, when you have been accused and found guilty of this more than us. Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? Ya'll laugh at us when we call you cheaters, because it sounds like we think we never cheated, so I was just asking why ya'll do it. We were "set up and turned it" more than uat. Please try and keep up. One more time...at least THREE times that Auburn has gone on probation it was because of UAT fabricating crap about something and even posing as encyclopedia salesmen to put it together. Again, study history. 1957 we went on probation, directly because of uat. 1958, the ncaa is back yet again, again directly because of uat. 1993, was after a few years of "investigating" where uat higher ups were pissed that dye finally got the game out of birmingham and uat had to get even. That's all it was. Tapes were doctored, and the whole works. I'm not saying everything is squeaky clean, but I am saying uat has set us up and turned us in MORE than we were actually guilty. I assure you that I have never said that Coach Bryant didn't drink, and I wouldn't go so far as to say that I believe that he never got drunk. What I did say was that it was in poor taste to call this man that has gone on to his rewards, a drunk. what kind of rewards are there for someone that constantly cheated his way to the top and turned in every program in the south?? I also have met an Auburn coach at a party one time for an Auburn player from my hometown that was being honored and he was quite drunk, but I feel that it would be in poor taste to come on this board or any other board and say this about the man.I hope the fact that a person may have gotten drunk in public before does not make them a bad person, or a cheater, because I would have to say that I am in big trouble, as I would venture to say a lot of people on this board would be also. I think that football coaches should only be judged by what they do concerning football, and lets remember after all that they are only human. do you really? WOW... character and integrity don't matter huh? Wow again.Does this apply to coaches in other sports too? I think I can safely say its lucky for you the administration at your own university doesn't feel the same way you do. Otherwise, you'd still be dealing with losers like Wimp Sanderson, Dubose, and Mike Price. Don't misunderstand me, we all know the uat administration (and the REC) has no integrity or character, but perhaps just a tiny bit more than you. Certainly not much more. Perhaps that's why you don't care that saban treats everybody like crap, lies at every turn, and has no respect for anyone. It's more of that win and all costs attitude that uat is famous for.

Hoopie 6 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I grew up a Bammer in the 1960's-70's. My relatives have played for each school. Bear Bryant definitely drank and too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
