BOL Round Table

TY, SOS, for being a sensical light in a nonsensical media driven world...

CSS always tells it how it is...always! He knows as well as anyone that there is nothing wrong with what happens with "borderline recruits" albeit in injury or grades. You spend your time on the guys you know will be able to participate and compete as early as possible. Its not the coach or schools fault that the NCAA restricts so many levels of communication with recruits and their families. Why cant so many of the haters in the CF world see this is so surprising to me. We are not Harvard, Yale, or Vandy etc. You dont go there to fulfill any dreams of playing pro ball. You go there to get the highest form of education the nation has to offer. You dont come to Bama strictly to get the highest form of accredited education the nation has to offer. You come to Bama to get a really good education AND the highest form of coaching to play for great teams and championships to have the greatest opportunity to fulfill dreams of playing highest level of college football and a possible pro career.
My point is, the ones who knock us for our recruiting are forgetting what the business of college football is all about, not to mention failing to remember the FACT that we've never took away ANY scholly offer that we've offered. If they wanna complain about a 6 month delay offer in enrollment, then I will listen to them. But if they are talking about ethical problems? I cant understand that at all with an offer still on the table (just 6 months delayed). But I do understand that haters hate teams that dominate. We dominate, so I expect us to stay hated by some in the country. I love it!

It's funny how the media harps on kids getting "screwed over" by having to take a greyshirt, but they never acknowledge the position it puts the coaches in when these kids flip their commitments late in the process, or even on signing day.
