A number of people figured there would be many issues with this NIL program. IMO, Pandoras's box of College Football. Might as well just go ahead and relabel the game as the NFL Minor Leagues. Go ahead and just draft the players right out of HS.

ROLL TIDE (Until they become a farm team for the Texans)

Proctor says he would have been 'settling' by staying at Iowa​

Proctor said he informed Iowa’s coaching staff of his decision to decommit last week and hinted he had been mulling it over for a bit. He admitted that Iowa’s offensive struggles the last couple of years were part of his thought process but didn’t play a major role. In fact, he liked the idea of coming in and helping change a program. But he figured playing at Alabama could tap into more of his potential.

“I thought I was settling at Iowa and when I went down there (Alabama), I saw all the guys that are as big as me and have the same mindset as me and worked like me," he said. "That’s just what I wanted to do. I don’t want to come into this school and everybody thinks I’m one of the best players there already. I want to grow. That’s not how I grow. I’ve got to get hit in the mouth before I can grow. And I think getting hit in the mouth is the competition (I need)."

During the weekend visit to Alabama, Proctor met with Saban, hung out with some players and watched the Crimson Tide practice for its Sugar Bowl matchup with Kansas State. When he got back to his hotel room Saturday night, he told his mom he wanted to play at Alabama.

“He was all about going to Iowa and I just thought, ‘Are you sure? Are you sure?’” Proctor-Perkins said. “It kind of shocked me.”

I heard he said this in front of a news crews, and that he didn't have too! Letting him know why he was going to Bama. He didn't want to play with boys at Iowa, but Men at Bama.

Even though I do not like this in CFB, it is what I have to deal with every day in the business world. You have to manage your people, keep them challenged, give them growth opportunities and pay them well. Some are paid more than others.

When I was that I age I understood enough to know that if I wanted opportunity I had to work. I went to school and got a degree that has given me a good career and provided financially for me and my family. I was 17-18-19 when making those decisions. With that said you and I both agree that the youth these days are an intersting bunch. Many ,but not all, are indeed what are going to do for me? I try to hire smart people that better align with the value of hard work and team focused. It is hard but one I think CNS does better than anyone.
