Wouldn't matter. This looks like a cat toying with a mouse.

The SEC has the same problem in basketball, UK and everyone else.
The fact that a Bama fan is on here discussing this while his team is playing #9 proves how boring it is. The regular season is like preseason for Bama. Early in they break in their new set of 5 stars and later they fine tune for the playoffs. The fact that Saban walks the sideline like a pissed off gnome the whole time is comical.
I am 73 years old. I would like to believe for all those years Mississippi State has been trying as hard as they can to improve themselves. The powers of football haven't change much over those years. There is a reason why there are monopoly laws which in time become over come. The same needs to take place with college sports, which in time would be overcome. Money is power and money and power always wind up with the cream of the crop. We cannot improve ourselves to the level desired without rules that would help us for a time.
This may be the best point of the entire thread. So true.
Tusk, you must really get nervous before & during games.......
Again, we all love college football, but it could be so much better than this. This product is horrible.
Verne & Gary call blowouts most every week
Now they are making Hurts out to be some kind of hero for accepting the challenge of coming to Alabama. Man....... what a challenge.... playing with all other 5 stars against other teams with very few.**
easy there, turbo....***

I feel as if I help feed the monster as long as my (old) butt is in that seat at DWS. Will I ever learn?
There was a good start at this when they put the scholarship limitation in place to stop Bear Bryant from giving players scholarships just so other schools wouldn't get them. They might not have gone far enough. Only 11 players are on the field at any one time, 22 total when you count the defense. I don't see why you couldn't field a team with 65 scholarships ... you'd still have 43 "reserves". And while you're at it, cut out redshirting too (except possibly medical). 4 year contracts would essentially take care of that.
They've scored every way possible.
Alabama has had 6 #1 one recruiting classes in a row.
That means that the best team in college football is monopolizing the 1st round draft picks of every high school football draft
ShotgunDawg do you realize you are wanting to implement the same sort of stuff that Hillary Clinton does? I mean you straight up sound like a Black Lives Matter activist.
Sort of eye opening when you look at it from that perspective, isn't it? Not saying I disagree with you, but it is what it is. And yeah, there comes a point when the rich simply have too much. But they will always find a way to exploit.
This isn't an 'across the board' thing. It's a Saban thing.
