Okay, seriously.
Alabama did nothing. If there was anything improper, it was done by people outside the University.
No worries. Coach Saban will say, "The compliance people are looking into it."
MONTHS from now we'll hear that it was nothing of substance.
I hope you are right.
I personally know one of the agents listed in the article.
He is a UA double alumnus - undergrad and law school.
He is a pretty smart guy and a big roll tide roller.
I was happy to hear about him becoming an agent b/c I felt like he would not do anything to negatively impact the school or it's players.
The laws need to be changed to where the agents and the players suffer financial/criminal consequences.
If a player. or agent, were financially responsible for the monetary damages suffered by an institution b/c of the agent/players action they would think more before acting.
Something like this:
Oh, player, you got a $25 million dollar contract?
Well, the university lost $100 million in revenue due to sanctions imposed b/c of your actions.
Looks like you still owe the university $75 million.
Oh, agent, you signed $300 million in contracts this year with a 30% take.
We will take the remaining $75 million form your holdings.
Only way to fix it.
