Nick Saban now to offer four-year schollies. Days after 'Bama commit visits AU, says he prefers AU philosophy of giving four-year schollies.

"Paul, it's pretty obvious that the barn knew that Saban was planning on doing this.  They just tried to jump the gun.  Steal his thunder.  But you can't steal the thunder from Alabama.  Roll Tide.  14 and counting.  Roll Tide!"

But he didn't specify dog years or people years.

So, will we here in the news, blogs and airwaves how Sabinz was Chizerized in the recruiting process, or will they all give Sabinz credit for inventing the 4 year scholarship?

Sabbin invented 4 year scholarships.

Is he going to retro actively give it to his current scholarship players on the roster?

"We don't cut players," Saban said. "I don't know anyone who does. So I don't think that's an issue."

Define cut. 

No they don't have roster cuts, they just find ways to send players packing.  Medical issues. Etc. 

At some point stupid kids will stop being stupid.

Honestly, I don't see where there is that much difference in the scholarship types. It's window dressing, really. With a 4 year scholarship, it can still be taken away if you don't fulfill academic or other types of off-the-field requirements (legal troubles, etc). It can still be taken away for breaking team rules. If they have a persistent medical issue, they can still be put on medical hardship. The only relief it provides is telling a kid that is enrolled that his scholarship can't be pulled because he's at the bottom of the depth chart after 2 years on the team, or something like that. Which most kids just transfer if they're not getting the playing time that want anyway.

The SEC already cracked down on "medical scholarships and/or hardships" when that uat player said that while he was working out with the team, they told him that he couldn't play anymore, because he was too hurt (eventhough he stated that he was fine)....and then he stated that sabbin just needs his scholarship because of the big incoming signing class (iirc, it was the Julio class that the player was referring to).

Oh, so this kid got cleared medically and had a productive career wherever he transferred to, right? Because he was perfectly fine.

Out of all of those kids that were in the NYT article, I think only one was medically cleared by whatever school he transferred to. And then I think he was eventually put on medical by that school. But hey, Saban would be a bastard if he played these kids hurt and they got a life threatening injury because of it too. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I think what saban is saying is that he doesn't literally cause lacerations to his players. That would be his players fault.

Agree.

If that were true, 50-60 players would xfer every year.

Yep.  I think it was just the bammer in him.  Bammers are always talking about how kids (like black QBs that they know will never play) should transfer.  They got no use for kids being back ups.

Looks like he has him trained well though. Look at his little tail all raised up and ready for action from RWS.

RWS also looks to be tickling something in his undercarriage with left hand. And liking it.
