It’s gotten disgusting.
I think you’re probably spot on about Coach Peterson. This could be the thing that makes Coach Few hang it up as well.Driving away coaches, perhaps Chris Petersen saw it all coming and got out before all of this crap….
Nick Saban….at some coaching clinic
"Someone with one of the best corners in the nation (in high school) came to me and asked if we’d pay them $800,000 for the player to sign here. I told him he can find another place to play," Saban said, according to Baker High School coach Steve Normand. "I’m not paying a kid a bunch of NIL money before he earns it."

Normand added that Saban feels the NCAA "needs more ways and means to control it because it’s getting out of hand."
Saban later added that he lost 10 players, including a starter, to the portal already.
"One of them wanted $500,000 and for us to get his girlfriend into law school at Alabama and pay for it. I showed him the door," Saban reportedly said.
Good pointI think you’re probably spot on about Coach Peterson. This could be the thing that makes Coach Few hang it up as well.
Waste of money imoIt has gotten out of control for sure, but to think none of this was going on behind the scenes is absurd. The top spenders in CFB will still be at the top, I don't suspect the overall successful programs will deviate much. The top 30 programs will still be the top 30 programs, only difference now is that there may be other teams that have wealthy boosters that throw their hat in the ring. It will be interesting.
Player loyalty to their teams will suffer, it's basically the NFL 2.0 now, which sucks.
Kliaklown canned today.Coug and Beaver fans might find this interesting.
