Is it their role to look at prospective employees and assume a "pre-crime" type of role as seen in Minority Report?

Pre-Cog if you will.


I'm not a big sci-fi guy, but I always liked that movie.

Here's another angle to consider. What's the role of the Compliance department?

I believe we'll all agree, first and foremost, it's education. In other words, making sure the staff members and athletes are fully informed on governing rules.

Is it their role to institute self-imposed sanctions if rules are broken? Advisory role, at best, in my view.

The bigger question is this. Is it their role to look at prospective employees and assume a "pre-crime" type of role as seen in Minority Report? Not like they know a rule will be broken, but "there's a possibility one might be made so let's cut it off now."

So your saying the compliance department has a big influence as an adviser with regards to Davis not coming back to bama? Don't you think if Saban really wanted this it would happen?

Thread kind of getting of topic. So is Freddie hired or not?

It's a shame Jimmy Lake is the head coach at Washington now because I'd totally start the rumor mill that 2020 is the year he comes to Bama.

I wonder if Ole Miss is trying to cause issues with this?

Would not be surprised if they did. Not sure how they could unless there is some weird language in his contract.

Good ole Florence boy. Well, Killen, but... Giy was a stud in high school. He and Patrick Hape both. Took a charge from Hape in a B-ball game. Big mistake... freight train would have been softer.
