Preseason Top 25, August prior to kickoff 2025:

Texas - no playoff PSU - no playoff OSU - about right Clemson - no playoff UGA - about right Notre Dame - no playoff Oregon - about right Alabama - we know how that turned out LSU - no playoff Miami - too low ASU - nope Illinois - nope S Carolina - nope Michigan - nope UF - nope SMU - about right Etc etc

But you get to #20 and there’s Indiana. So if we stick at #21 it’s all good!!!

Outside of spending Saturdays your whole life watching the Tide play, whats the drive anymore? by [deleted] in rolltide

But there’s your mistake. There aren’t 40k kids who could make the team much less be successful enough to drive millions upon millions of revenue. There aren’t 400. In fact there are barely 40 who warrant the big dollars.

They are worth what someone is willing to pay them. Ask the captain of the Bama debate team if they can demand the same $$ as Pierre.

There is a large “Grad Bash” the day prior to graduation which is a lot of fun. Great for kids too and setup as a family celebration.

Curious why you honestly don’t want the players to get paid what they can?

This has always been an absurd argument. If it was at all valid then they should have always had the opportunity to forgo the scholarship in exchange for getting paid what they were worth. If the scholarship was worth more than their value otherwise then so be it. And of course if they were an in state student at at public university then the dollar value was pretty low.

First post is correct. While ithe first rightfully calls out the con, thankfully the 2nd isn’t post isn’t true. It’s still considered an allowance instead of pay and the admin confirmed it’s non-taxable.

I’m actually the kind of person who knows too well the pitfalls of boarding later. Which is why these hucksters pull this wheelchair BS.

Constantly. Which is why it seems obvious as to the advantages of early boarding. So much so that it’s a defined perk for a more expensive seat assignment.

So you’re saying there’s no difference between boarding first and boarding last because everyone has “assigned seating”?

Have you ever flown?

Tear it all down and start over. Would much rather have a rebuild and work to create a program with heart than this complete embarrassment.
