“The NCAA couldnu0026#39;t detect a dead skunk in the middle of the road. They can, and, do find mays to maximize their power and fill their coffers. I do not believe in paying any collegiate athlete for their signing and playing on any college team. But, I do abhor the NCAA for their greed at the expense of these youngsters. It is the NCAA that has brought the last bastion of purity in sports to the convoluted level it is today. So, Iu0026#39;m not surprised in the nature of this documentary. There could be countless other situations with more flagrant and illegal moves yet the NCAA saw an opportunity here. Of course they handled it the most boneheaded way possible. Taking actions they had no certain grounds to do when they did them. Itu0026#39;s all about greed which is the NCAAu0026#39;s standard operating procedure.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;m an Alabama graduate and fan. We were defeated by a team that played their hearts out and were better on a particular day. No funny business. And as far as funny business goes. Unless there is outright criminal activity such as bribery on another teams inside to get privileged information just watching, or even filming, everything any team does isnu0026#39;t criminal. It isnu0026#39;t even wrong. Itu0026#39;s called scouting. Whatever is learned by just watching is fair game. If I can dechiper those crazy sign boards and catch on to what theyu0026#39;re telling the players on the field so be it. Iu0026#39;m just intelligent enough to see a weak link. They should be intelligent enough to make it where I canu0026#39;t. Even so, in the end, it comes down to talented athletes coached by a smart staff that knows what gives those athletes their best chance to win. Just having an elevated sense of what the other team might do without criminal activity is what I want from my schoolu0026#39;s coaching staff. I do not think Connor Stalions broke laws, at least any I believe to be right and just. Playing smarter is as important an ingredient as playing safer.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAt Alabama we all hated to see Nick Saban retire, especially without a final national championship to go out on. However, I think he retired with absolute class and heu0026#39;s made it clear that the evolving rules whereby players receive payment makes it a game heu0026#39;s no longer comfortable with as head coach. Now we all know that for decades players have received perks they werenu0026#39;t ethically allowed to receive. It was done, I believe, without many coaches like Saban being a party to. As I said earlier the way the NCAA kept finding ways to increase their profits set the tone. Is the NCAA the one that should be investigated? Good luck with that one. In lieu of that I think this makes the organization look like Boeing…a greedy corporation that attempts to manipulate their thiefdom as it bumbles around like a 500 gorilla. This Connor Stalions guy I like, and this story, I think, makes him look a lot more intelligent with a real heart than the NCAA. I thoroughly enjoyed this well made documentary.”
