'Y’all, people don’t get that mad overnight,' writes columnist Joseph Goodman.
The implication was that Texas A&M, which beat Saban on the field last season and then on the recruiting trail, was somehow cheating. The Aggies didn’t cheat. They just found a way to game the current system better than anyone else. For a long time, as any fan or coach of an SEC school will tell you, that’s been Saban’s area of expertise.
“I know the consequence is going to be difficult for the people who are spending tons of money to get players,” Saban said. “You read about it, you know who they are. We were second in recruiting last year. A&M was first. A&M bought every player on their team. Made a deal for name, image and likeness.
And, let’s be clear, no one in the business of recruiting college football players should be considered more corrupt or nefarious than anyone else. College football is inherently corrupt because the players aren’t being paid by the schools. But unpaid doesn’t mean players are without value, so a black-market economy has always existed.Saban is very good at the game, and maybe the best ever, and Fisher has been on the losing end of Saban’s gamesmanship before.
