Does anyone suspect that there is a connection between NIL money and undisciplined football? Is it possible that the days of being among the least penalized teams in the country, as we were in Saban's earlier years at Bama, are over as long as players are making more money?
I do!Does anyone suspect that there is a connection between NIL money and undisciplined football? Is it possible that the days of being among the least penalized teams in the country, as we were in Saban's earlier years at Bama, are over as long as players are making more money?

I figured someone would make a note of that. I didn't expect they would attempt to extrapolate from an outlier like Bryce.Our most disciplined player is getting the most benefit from NIL, so I'd say no.
Duuu...there is a reason for that...Army...Navy...Air Force... arent ur run of the mill universities....Are other teams with big NIL money having an increase in penalties? It sounds like you’re correlating with a sample of one. Army and Navy have always paid their players but they are some of the most disciplined teams.
Let me rephrase myself. What you call "the end result" is what I'm calling into question.I believe some players in the current program thinks the “process” will just kick in and save the day without really understanding it takes hard work and complete dedication to achieve the end result.
No you are not wrong.Let me rephrase myself. What you call "the end result" is what I'm calling into question.
I believe that for most players, compensation is a direct challenge to "the end result," that is, the team-oriented goal. Successful teams are predicated on individuals sacrificing individual short-term goals for collective long-term goals. Compensation undermines the sacrificial prerequisite to greatness. If you don't delay gratification, the "end result" loses its luster and appeal, and thus less worthy of hard work and dedication.
So NIL and any form of automatic compensation not tied to performance (ie bowls, titles, etc.) in effect will diminish greatness because it will ease the "suffering" required for excellent performance. At least the NFL ties compensation to performance. To my knowledge NIL compensation is much less discriminating. Am I wrong on this?
I agree with most of what you’re saying. However. The correlation of one NFL player to another, based on position, is a lot like an NIL deal for say a BY to a Brian Branch. NIL deal is based mostly on popularity created by the media and etc. That’s not to say performance does not matter but it’s less than what is expected at the NFL level.Let me rephrase myself.
