i hope that the NCAA closes this. Talk about keeping your other strings healthy, while playing competition in practice that is at or greater quality as your starters, at least in key positions.
I am not gonna lie. I am about to be done with college football, and sink my time once again into watching just high school football. Ridiculous

[fader2103]

Only because our NFL alums are practicing for their own NFL games*****
Bama's alums don't last in the league very long*

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Yeah, they mentioned this during the game saturday and I was shocked that it's allowed.

[HereComesTheSpiral]

Wasn't Saban the first to take advantage of the skype and xbox loopholes with recruits during dead periods back in the day?

[DeviousDawg]

Yeah, they mentioned this during the game saturday and I was shocked that it's allowed.

Saban didn't do it because it was allowed, it's allowed because Saban did it.

[TUSK]

Saban didn't do it because it was allowed, it's allowed because Saban did it.

Saban didn't do it because it was allowed, it's allowed because Saban did it.

Just another advantage for them....getting to be where it's not any fun any more.

I'd take Saban over 1812 Russia and lay the points, though...

[nsvltndog]

It's perfectly legal so hard to fault him for doing it. Personally I don't think it should be allowed, but it will either be outlawed or become a common practice.

Well yea unless 1812 Russia is lead by Bucky Freezus and the Bubble Screen assassins

Saban has become bad for college football. Dude needs to challenge himself in the NFL.

That was good, 61!

Me too. I don't imaging it will stay so very much longer.

[TUSK]

Something tells me I won't have to sweat those cats until well after MDL has retired... they gonna be in a gulag in Siberia for some time....

[BulldogBear]

Bucky is no General Winter

[DownwardDawg]

It's like nascar, if you are "pushing the limits" as a crew chief, you ain't winning. Congrats to Saban for outsmarting everyone else..........aGain!!!!!!!!

[RocketDawg]

The announcers mentioned it during the LSU game, said Saban had researched it, and there were no issues with it. I gathered it was only the two or three players they named on air, not an entire squad.

[Ari Gold]

BB would prob self impose sanctions on us if CDM and our staff even allowed ex players To be at practice..

I believe the quote is actually: "If you ain't cheatin' you aint tryin."

Maybe it's more applicable to Bucky after all....

Haha you forgot General Scorched Earth

[TUSK]

Haha you forgot General Scorched Earth

Yep, that is/was a BIG deal, too....

[somebodyshotmypaw]

A similar situation is that women's basketball often uses non-eligible players for practice only. They often use males on campus to practice against. I think Tyson Cunningham started off as a practice player for MSU's women's team. So I guess you don't have to be on the team to compete in practice.

[Reason2succeed]

Do they pay these players? (Rhetorical question. We know they do.) couldn't this be seen as an impermissible benefit after eligibility? Are they counted as graduate assistants or coaches? It shouldn't be legal and Bama should be penalized but we all know they won't be.

Also, "It ain't cheating, if you don't get caught".

He's afraid of failure.
