| FTBL Alabama has received $400,000 in field-storming fine payouts after repetitive upset losses

[rick4bama]

I did not know that the money for rushing the field would go to Bama. Oklahoma 400,000 rushing the field twice, Vandy $100,000, U Turd $100,000. That is $600,00 to go to the Bama pocket.
Alabama has received $400,000 in field-storming fine payouts after repetitive upset losses





The Alabama Crimson Tide has lost for the third time this season — and all three losses resulted in fans from the home teams storming the field.
Vanderbilt, Tennessee, and Oklahoma fans all descended upon the field with a signature victory over Alabama. But there is a bit of a bright side for Alabama due to new rules surrounding the field storming practice.
In an effort to keep fans off the field — an effort that has been entirely unsuccessful — the SEC announced before the season that fines to the school from storming the field would actually be paid to the losing school. Meaning that every time Alabama has lost this season, they earned $100,000 from the school that beat them.

In fact, Oklahoma was actually fined double this weekend, given that they ran onto the field before the game actually ended. In total, Alabama has racked up a cool $400,000 this season just by losing football games.
While this will be no consolation to fans who are disgusted with the results of the season and they will not see a dime of it, perhaps that money can be put back into the program to prevent these kinds of results in the future.

Good start to next year's NIL budget.

Put it all towards a new arena.

Lank can buy $4 a new necklace. I think he broke his other on the tackle of the DB on the pick 6.

It's just an assumption on my part. I'm thinking people know how you feel about Milroe based on how many times you've said how you feel about Milroe.

Josey Wales: I reckon so

What if after the conclusion of Spring practice, Byrne and DeBoer determined that (1) Saban’s departure would be too messy to overcome in year one, (2) the roster was too weak with too many holes to stay competitive for a longer season, and (3) our NIL program was too far behind in this changing landscape? So Byrne and DeBoer decided to implement a strategy this season to lose games to selected opponents guaranteed to storm the field afterwards … and also along the way, make discrete bets on these losses that exploited Bama’s unmerited respect lingering from the Saban era … bets against the football team (like losing to Vandy and to OU by 21). Unexpected losses aren’t that devastating if it helps you to reconstitute your program in a radically volatile climate. And what better time to bet against Bama football than this season, on the heels of the GOAT, before parity further takes over the sport and betters are no longer shocked at “upsets.” Then leverage the quick infusion of funds into a springboard for our program’s transition from the Saban era and improve our NIL capacity for the DeBoer era?

I didn’t go too far, did I?

Four field stormings, but just three games. Sounds very 9/11-ish...

It's the ice cubes.

They say, if you mix them with bourbon you have this problem...with tequila, another, with gin, another...stop using the ice cubes.

Yep. Way way to far

Gotta break a few eggs if you want an omelette, right? Obviously I’m joking here, but it does seem to be an opportune season to do what I described. Think about how the rise of parity and mediocrity will change betting and greatly diminish, if not end, field celebrations. It’d be a perfect time to hatch a scheme like this before no one gets excited to beat us anymore and before the game becomes nationalized and standardized.

Funny how casually you use 9/11 references these days. I still have memories trying to convince you and virtually everyone else on this board in the early 2000’s how fraudulent 9/11 was and the whole WoT. Lol ahhh good times…

No disrespect, I think in the last week or two you made a reference to strikes minus planes equals one. Maybe it was with Ted Olson's passing, can't recall.

You and Terry were engaged and you mentioned 9/11 being an inside job or something. Terry said he had an inside opinion, or something of that sort. And then I chimed in saying something like “2 planes didn’t equal 3 towers.”

FWIW, I said I knew someone inside the investigation. He works for one of the alphabet agencies. I don't know which one; all he says is "State Department." (Which is unnerving in itself.) I used to talk with him a few times a week. Now, it's a few times a year. I don't know where he is; just know he's still neck deep.
