Alabama beat LSU, 10-0, last week, and we learned during the game?s broadcast that Nick Saban brought in former Tide quarterback John Parker Wilson and former running back Trent Richardson to be on Bama?s scout team. The two acted as LSU quarterback Danny Etling, and running back Leonard Fournette to prepare Alabama?s defense.

Saban calling in former players to be on his scout team is something he?s been doing all season. Before the Tide?s 33-14 win over Texas A&M, former Alabama quarterback Blake Sims was brought in to impersonate Aggies signal caller Trevor Knight.


I know its technically allowed, but this is just another example of how College Football has moved so far past being for 'student athletes' and is just straight up a business. Might as well pay the freaking kids

college football is still for the student athletes. It is there to pay for scholarships for the +/- 350 other student athletes that aren't on revenue producing sports.
