ok both your replies gave me a good laugh for the day. Looks like I touched a nerve. I meant to but I'll answer your silliness. Yes they most likely would have filed suit with or without that leak but the leak did speed it up. You think they were able to file suit the very next day by being blindsided by that investigation leak? No. That suit had been being prepared for months and multiple other states had suits in the works too but no one wanted to be the one who dropped the hammer unless they had to so the NCAA poked the bear and looks to have gotten decapitated from it. I'm also not as naive as some "mental gymnasts from a certain fan base " to think the NCAA wasn't well aware of what would happen by states and how the courts would rule. This is a last ditch effort by them to try and get Congress to pass an antitrust exemption for them so they can continue to break the law and steal all the money athletes generate. Also this supposed NOA that you keep crowing about that hasn't even actually been proven to exist was DOA with the injunctive. The federal court said the NCAA has no right to make rules over NIL so going by that TN broke exactly zero laws. Also the collective is the one who is potentially alleged to have broken any laws and not the actual school. I know that's not what you want to hear. I know it's upsetting. I know it leveled the playing field and Bama most likely loses that advantage they've had where they've been allowed to cheat and no one else is allowed to at their same level. I know that most likely means you can't go give a dodge charger and buy every 5 star you want and stack them back and keep other teams from getting them. I know the transfer portal and players being allowed to swap schools is pretty devastating. I know your coach retired and you got some upcoming coach that is maybe gonna be good and then again he might not be. I know your newly hired coaches are leaving left and right for other jobs that aren't even always a step up. I know Eli Gold was forced out after like 35 years and it's been a good run. I know averageness and possible mediocrity is staring you squarely in the face and you don't want to blink and deal with it. All is not lost!! Keep the faith!!! You will still be competing for sec championships every 3-4 years and the whole head coaching carousel you might be just getting on isnt so bad! I promise! There's always optimism when you hire a new guy for at least several months. It's gonna be ok. It'll give you more time to deer hunt and you can take your hurt and anger out on those big bad deer. You could even take some hunts down to the mothership…your beloved toothless state of bama!! So yeah cope harder about all your bama misfortunes and the end of an era and the non death of one of your most biter and hated rivals you were so sure was about to get the death penalty. Lastly enjoy the lords day and give him praise (hopefully in church somehwhere this morning). 
every school did it. Georgia just last week admitted they made a strong financial offer coming out of hs to Mike Mathew's who ultimately signed with UT. You don't see the NCAA coming after them about it right now though do you? It's because they know what they've been doing is illegal in this country and they can't win in court. I do think something has to change though. They need to declare athletes as employees and let them collectively bargain and then things will go back to close to what they were but there will be a salary cap and we will all be on much more even footing. The system before was being abused by a lot and now it's absurd by all. It's making college football something none of us want. Also your basketball team is no longer leading the sec after last night
