    Naive outlook, there will never be parity, in fact, it will get worse. The team that spend the most has a better chance of being successful, same as any other professional sport. And Sabin is a huge opponent of NIL and the transfer rules, now other schools can do what he has been doing for years

    Well said

    The schools make MILLIONS on the backs of these athletes and those athletes cant even get a free dinner because the old rich NCAA thinks that would be “cheating”. These kids should be getting something for what they bring to the institutions that they represent.

    Hell the head coaches make MILLIONS, most of the assistant coaches make millions, and the AD’s at those schools make even more than head coaches. Its time that the people who make the sacrifice get something from it.

    And that explains the lack of success at UT how? Not everyone chooses to go where the money is higher as well. The team that spends the most in the NFL on free agents doesn’t typically win the Super Bowl(don’t think one has, actually, but that could be an old stat and there is one now. One.) While money can acquire talent, it cannot acquire wins. Since free agency started in the NFL, parity has increased.

    He is against them because that means he won’t be the top dog anymore. Other teams will now get a shot and are. It’s not just Alabama anymore(though the SEC is the best college conference overall).

    I do agree it changes things. Just for the better.

    Sure hope all of those players have a drivers license, otherwise that’d defeat the purpose of getting free trucks.

    I wonder in what shape these lease vehicles will be when it's time to return them.

    Not about kids getting paid, there exist numerous ways to financially reward athletes, what this does is make what used to be college football professional, and raises numerous questions regarding the integrity of the schools

    You are applying NFL realities to college football, irrelevant, NFL teams are owned by private individuals and really don’t represent anyone but those owners. The owners only relationship with the players is that of an employee, colleges have a greater responsibility to the student

    Probably the only requirement, but a donor will to give a hundred kids a $55,000 vehicle will surely find a way to get the kid the license quick

    Lease is automatically renewed as long as the kid stays on scholarship, and being a kid, especially one tampered, they won’t loose any sleep of a beat vehicle when they turn it in
