The players benefitted from a transaction where they got a free education of considerable value, free training, facilities, food, room and board also of considerable value and a forum to showcase their abilities to a professional industry at no charge to them. All of the above is still expected in addition to professional level pay with no contracts, terms or conditions. Eventually, either these players are going to find themselves in a professional employment infrastructure or we're going to continue this chaotic state we're in now, which over time, will result in bad football, lack of parity, reduced fan interest and subsequently, less pay available to these players. The golden goose will die and they can ply their trade with the Birmingham Stallions or their city semi-pro team for minimum wage. 

Regardless, the product that gave us NIL will ultimately be destroyed by NIL. 

Yes. Players benefited. No debate. But clearly the players and the courts did not see the transaction as fair. Does this have negative implications for the sport??? Of course. Did the former system have issues??? Absolutely. 

Were the former transactional benefits limited and lop sided???? Absolutely and it needed addressing. Are the current changes fair and have they fixed the problems??? Probably depends on who you ask 

IMO I’m surprised college athletics has been so slow to adopt a more player centric transfer portal as freedom and autonomy is a core value of both education and capitalism. I’m fascinated how a person or group can hold these values ( freedom and autonomy) so tightly for themselves but get upset when other individuals or groups want the same. 

Freeze himself said he isn’t good at working the transfer portal and so far he’s accurate with his own self assessment. Why would anyone think other than what he’s shown and said? 

Looking for Spring practice material to predict our top 10 finish this year. Where is the sunshine? 

Cardwell catching AND a dribble!!! Let’s go

Me too! I couldn't imagine living in the eastern time zone and having games start at 9:00 local time! Don't they know people actually do have to get up early for work in the morning?

Yup. It sucks

Bruce came out with a strong statement on IVF and Alabama law makers. I wonder if he would want out.

Forgive me, please.

It will be more like. “but in Debore’s 2nd season at Bama”…. 

The revolving door of coordinators seems more like a CFB issue more than an Auburn issue IMO. If you win you loose coordinators to better jobs if you loose then you loose coordinators to cheaper buy outs. 

We are not a great team and have some obvious deficiencies. We also play in the toughest league. Proud of our team and the effort tonight 

Game over. Not gonna win 

Well shite! Gonna have to get another beer now 

Unbelievable 

Still playing stupid

KY started with some east buckets … we’ve had numerous turnovers & can’t shoot … just need to be close & I think we’ll win the second half 

History says we don’t 

One consistent scorer on this team. We have some good players who ball sometimes 

Clearly it is time for Lior.

So they could  take away our points.  But it was going to be our ball. That’s not fair. 

Yeah. I don’t understand this

CBM doing his best to get people involved.

By making stupid behind then back passes?? 

It’s Auburn and I’m not holding any kind of confidence for any game

How does Dylan Cardwell’s fifth year factor into the point position?   You people disrail every thread and if it’s not in the football forum, no one gives a frick.  

Sorry you’re having a bad day 

Where does KD stand on eligibility???

Yes depth to do certain things. Yes it matters if Auburn is continuing to apply pressures. It’s not like u have 10 snipers.  I would rather have a 7 or 8 man rotation with 4 really dependable scorers

And maybe those 4 are there but Berman and CM are taking away from them finding their dependability???
