Salary caps will happen. No way are the power brokers going to let the inmates dominate the asylum forever.Something’s gonna have to change. It’ll be Ohio state and Texas every year if not for a while I’m afraid.
Steve Marlowe is on the Board of Education here in Sylacauga. I know him and his entire family quite well. I taught both of his kids as well.CFP championship game officials include 4 Alabamians, 2 former Crimson Tide players
The officiating crew for Monday night’s College Football Playoff National Championship game had a definite Alabama flavor.
Four members of the SEC crew that worked the Ohio State vs. Notre Dame game at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta have ties to the state of Alabama. Two of them even played football for the Crimson Tide.
Head referee Steve Marlowe is a Sylacauga native and an Alabama graduate. He is the “white hat” official in the CFP title game for the first time, having served in the same role during the SEC championship game on Dec. 7 and the Penn State-Boise State quarterfinal game in the Fiesta Bowl on Dec. 31.
Umpire Brent Sowell played on the offensive line at Alabama from 1982-85 under coaches Paul “Bear” Bryant and Ray Perkins. A Florida native, Sowell spent three seasons in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins, Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Field judge Phillip Davenport is a lifelong resident of Jasper. He is a graduate of Wallace State Community College.
Former Alabama quarterback David Smith is serving as the alternate official, which means he won’t see the field unless one of the other officials is injured or becomes ill. Smith was the Crimson Tide’s starting quarterback in 1987 and 1988 under coach Bill Curry.

Yep.... and still ND hasnt won a nc since 80s. Great streak.Something wonderful happened last night… Notre Dame did not win a national championship…
Something absolutely horrible happened last night.. Ohio State won a national championship..
Yankees use tobuy n buy. N rarely converted that ti world series win.I would expect Texas to drop millions either this year or next on a roster to take them to the championship game. We'll really need to adjust. This hurts the sport even worse, this reeks of baseball vibes the best paid team almost always wins. I'm not a fan of it, but it's the nature of the beast now.
I honestly didn't watch 1 second of the game last night, I'm not a fan of either team so I was not interested in whoever won. Wanted to just get quality time in with the family instead so I can't comment on the game but I hope football takes note and makes adjustments before it gets too far out of hand.
Have you ever seen the govt fix anything??!?I hope the Goobermint steps in and fixes NIL… The universities should only be allowed to pay each and every player, the exact same money… the exact $$ same for every position..The rest of the money can come from an agent or player seeking outside endorsements…Schools should not be allowed to discriminate or “play favorites”..
