Redux Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Well, thank goodness the SEC put a stop to our dasterdly unfair recruiting advantages. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 The Big Ten was the only P5 conference voting against, though. How much momentum is there really for a change back? Seems slim. We don't know how those votes were carried out. My guess is that it was conference commissioners voting on behalf of the conference as a whole, which really means only voting on behalf of the vested interests of the top teams. If this vote was done per school and not per single representative per conference, I believe it would have turned out much differently. Quote Link to comment
cm husker Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 It's amusing that Saban's argument is "these things don't even work, so why allow them?" If they don't work, why oppose them? 6 Quote Link to comment

I am so happy to see Saban is worried about Nebraska wasting money on something that doesn't work. What would we do without him? Quote Link to comment
Touchdown Tommie Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 It is just interesting that the NCAA takes a stand on this, but refuses to look into the shady recruiting practices of one of the biggest conferences in the P5... Quote Link to comment

cm husker Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 That's a nonsensical comment from Shaw. Stanford logisticians will be quite disappointed. 1 Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 That's pretty transparently "We don't feel we need to do it ourselves, so let's make sure nobody can." I think it captures the impetus behind the move. I'm so glad this was fast tracked. Clearly it was a big NCAA priority. Kudos for taking care of the SEC; at least the benefits are falling on a conference widely known for its total lack of underhanded recruiting tactics. 1 Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Shaw is a prick, but his full statement was basically, "I don't have an opinion. Some people do them, some people don't. We've never felt the need to." It wasn't pro-ban or anything like that, it was just unnecessarily pretentious. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 These coaches like Shaw and Saban have no clue how stupid they look making those statements. Quote Link to comment

Especially when I know some of my friends who went to Stanford on athletic scholarships aren't exactly Mensa candidates. God love 'em. 2 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 What??? I thought he was against them? OH.....I get it now. It screwed up something good he had going on and he didn't realize it was going to. 1 Quote Link to comment
