More on the NIL Issue
Alabama football head coach Nick Saban alleged that Texas A&M is paying its players. Meanwhile, Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher has denied the claims, instead telling reporters to look into how Alabama runs its sport-dominating operation.
While the public bickering between two college football giants provided a humorous offseason moment, their argument highlighted a much larger issue with the state of name, image, and likeness (NIL) in the NCAA.
“There are some concerning trends,” Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey told Yahoo Finance. “We’re not seeing name image and likeness activity — we’re seeing just straight payments. And I think it’s important that we recenter ourselves on what’s supposed to be happening here and the desire to keep that activity out of recruitment to benefit young people economically but to do so in a healthy way.”
Yahoo Finance spoke with Sankey and five NCAA Division I athletic directors about the state of NIL at the Sports Business Journal Sports Business Awards on May 18. Their concerns and references to “chaos” rang true over the following 24 hours as Saban claimed Texas A&M “bought every player on their team,” and Fisher suggested reporters “dig into” how Saban has been so successful throughout the years.
The public display of displeasure with NIL policies comes as collectives, often organized by wealthy university donors, have taken over the NIL industry with direct payments to players regardless of what their name, image and likeness is worth. A Miami player recently signed a $800,000 deal around the time he transferred. ESPN reported a Boston College receiver was flashed six-figure deals to entice him to transfer. If either offer was made prior to the decision to transfer, it would be a direct violation of NCAA policies.
“We feel like we’re in a little bit of crisis, a little bit of chaos,” Penn State Athletic Director Sandy Barbour, who was named Athletic Director of the Year at the event, told Yahoo Finance. “I think ‘chaos’ is the word that’s been used and so, I think we’ve got to find a solution pretty quickly.”
The solution likely won’t come anytime soon, though. Sankey doesn’t believe much will change within the market prior to kickoff of the 2022 season in August. With state laws impacting some schools, and not others, conferences are hamstrung regarding regulation. Schools want to remain competitive and have a compelling interest to stretch the rules as far as possible.
Essentially, the onus is placed on the NCAA, which just launched new NIL guidance on May 9. The new guidelines provide updated definitions of boosters and collectives and indicate that the NCAA plans to clamp down on boosters and collectives paying recruits.
Still, college administrators have questioned the NCAA’s efficiency in shutting down illegal activity. Tracking the recruiting activity of 130 teams can be a logistical nightmare. On top of that is the NCAA’s track record, or lack thereof, when it comes to laying down the law (See: the years-long college basketball FBI probe that’s led to limited punishment for certain programs that are still winning national championships).
Sankey told Yahoo Finance he doesn’t believe the NCAA alone can solve the problem. He and coaches like Saban have instead called on Congress to develop broad rules.
“We’ve been clear about the need for a national standard and that you’re going to have congressional activity,” Sankey said. “And whether or not Congress sees that as a need, the protection and support of college sports in a healthy way, is part of the conversation that’s not going to adjust anytime soon.”
Sean Frazier, athletic director at Northern Illinois University, is confident that everything will “level itself out” at the end of the day.
“Everybody just needs to calm down,” Frazier told Yahoo Finance. “The sky is not falling and we’ll get back to business.”
Very interesting history
Something Fishy With Jimbo’s 2022 Recruiting Class
The Texas A&M coach claims his top-rated class was totally based on merit and the undeniable draw of College Station. But something smells fishy.
:format(webp)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/70891700/1355928892.0.jpg)
If you have ever seen the excellent 1988 movie Eight Men Out that covered the Black Sox scandal of 1919, you may recall a scene in which two of the characters become suspicious of some of the White Sox actions. The two men agree to score a game separately and make notes of which plays seemed suspect to compare after the game.
That concept is basically what I hope to highlight in regards to Jimbo Fisher’s top-ranked recruiting class of 2022. After scanning over recruiting reports from the past year, there are many notations to make. Nick Saban claimed that Fisher “bought” the whole class. Jimbo’s argument for why so many top-rated prospects landed in his lap was because Texas A&M is such an amazing place to go to college.
Fisher signed 30 players to the class. For relative purposes, I will be addressing only the top 14 in that group. An additional 16 lower-ranked recruits were signed, but none of them really factor into this conversation.
#2 player in the nation Walter Nolen DT 5-star Powell, TN
FISHY: When was the last time TAMU pulled a top recruit from a Tennessee high school, much less the #2 player in the country? Looking all the way back to the 2002 class, the Aggies have signed a grand total of four players from the Volunteer state in that span before Nolan. None of them were ranked higher than 400. Since Fisher took over in College Station, there have been two Tennesseans sign on: Dallas Walker IV who was the #487 prospect in 2020 and Chris Russell, the #408 from 2019. Neither is making much of an impact on the team. But this story goes back further. The Nolens originally hail from Memphis. As Walter was emerging as a star football player, he was playing in Olive Branch, Mississippi which is a Memphis suburb. Tennessee started to look like the leader for his signature, when lo and behold – a miracle! Dad gets a new job! In Powell, Tennessee. A suburb of Knoxville. So the whole family just ups and moves 400 miles across the state to – what a coincidence – a town 10 minutes away from the UT campus. But I guess Josh Heupel’s pitch just wasn’t enough after the NIL floodgates burst open.
#9 Shemar Stewart DE 5-star Opa Locka, FL
FISHY: Here we are again with TAMU pulling guys from an other part of the country. Miami was the big leader early on. Stewart practically lived on the Coral Gables campus last summer and attended the Miami-Alabama in Atlanta. Suddenly in October, there is some interest in the Aggies that manifests into all the crootin experts predicting his signing with Texas A&M. New ‘Canes coach Mario Cristobal and former Miami, now Alabama coach Travaris Robinson put the full court press on Stewart, but amazingly he picks the Aggies.
#11 Evan Stewart WR 5-star Frisco, TX
FISHY: For the longest time, Texas looked like the leader for the nation’s top wide receiver prospect. He committed to the Longhorns in February 2021 only to decommit a month later. Alabama put uber-recruiter Holmon Wiggins on him. Stewart pared it down to Bama, TAMU, and Texas but he landed at TAMU.
#16 Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy DT 5-star Lakeland, FL
FISHY: Everybody and their brother had this Florida native pegged for Oklahoma, including “experts” such as 247’s Steve Wiltfong and Rivals’ Mike Farrell. Jimbo paid him a visit in December and the guy committed to the Aggies a few days later.
#18 Lebbeus Overton DE 5-star Milton, GA
FISHY: Alabama was never really in on this guy but UGA sure was. Overton was considered top 5 overall prospect in the 2023 class before reclassifying to the 2022 cycle in February. His father, Milton Overton, was a former Associate AD at Alabama from 2009 to 2015 and had a close relationship with Kirby Smart while he was Saban’s DC. To be fair, Milton was also Associate AD at Texas A&M (1999–2009) and is currently AD at Kennesaw State in Atlanta metro. Georgia thought for sure they had this guy.
#22 Conner Weigman QB 5-star Cypress, TX
NOT FISHY: This one is probably pretty legit. [SIDE NOTE: For a 5-star QB, he did not have a big offer list. No Alabama, Ohio State, LSU, Notre Dame, So Cal, Oregon, Tennessee, Clemson, etc.]
#23 Denver Harris DB 5-star Houston, TX
FISHY: Alabama looked like the final destination for much of last summer leading up to his OV in late June. Into fall, there was a lot of silence until a December in-home by Jimbo. Harris OV’d College Station a week later and signed the week after that.
#25 Chris Marshall WR 5-star Missouri City, TX
NOT FISHY: He only took two OVs: TAMU and a “sightseeing” tour of Southern Cal.
#39 Jacoby Mathews DB 4-star Ponchatoula, LA
FISHY: It was brought to my attention that there was a whole lotta fishy surrounding Mathews. Leading up to signing day, all the momentum seemed to be for him to stay home and attend LSU. Soon after he surprisingly signed with the Aggies, message boards were blowing up that Jimbo had promised him close to half a million dollars.
#47 Enai White DE 4-star Philadelphia, PA
FISHY: Philadelphia? To College Station? Really? He was actually from the Trenton, New Jersey area before moving 30 miles down the road to a Philly private school. But still. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Summer OVs to Bama, Florida, UGA and Ohio State; Jimbo has an in-house in December; White OVs a week later; signs with TAMU five days later.
#59 Anthony Lucas DE 4-star Scottsdale, AZ
FISHY: Alabama made some strong moves with this guy. He took all his OVs in June and had two unofficial visits to Tuscaloosa for games in November. This time, Jimbo’s December in-home was preceded by a Saban in-home two days earlier. Since when has Fisher been a better closer than Saban? @I’m sure Jimbo had nothing but good things to say about his former boss.@
#64 Kam Dewberry OL 4-star Humble, TX
NOT FISHY: He was pretty gung-ho for the fake Army school for awhile. Not much buzz from Alabama.
#82 Le’Veon Moss RB 4-star Baton Rouge, LA
FISHY: A few days after a June 2021 Official Visit to Tuscaloosa, Moss committed to Alabama. Two weeks later, he OV’d College Station. Shortly after a July unofficial visit to CS, he decommitted from Bama for unexplained reasons.
#95 Jake Johnson TE 4-star; #1 tight end Athens, GA
FISHY: Did you notice the hometown? This one looked like a UGA/Bama/LSU battle: hometown school versus a team that needs a tight end in a bad way versus the school where is brother – Max Johnson – was QB. He committed to LSU to be with his brother. Then despite Max being the Tigers’ starter, they both moved to TAMU. Older brother might not even start this year. [SIDE NOTE: His dad is former NFL QB Brad Johnson who is the brother-in-law of Mark Richt.]
Softball going to Super Regional
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The No.14-seed Florida softball program heads to the NCAA Blacksburg Super Regional for a best of three series against No.3-seed Virginia Tech at Tech Softball Park. This is UF’s 14th super regional appearance since 2007, but will compete away from home in the event for only the second time.
The Gators (46-16) enter the super regional against the Hokies (45-8) after the team took care of business in the NCAA Gainesville Regional with wins over Canisius, Georgia Tech and Wisconsin.

- The two teams met May 31, 2008 in Oklahoma City at the Women’s College World Series. Florida defeated Angela Tincher and Virginia Tech 2-0 (9 Innings) behind a complete-game performance from Stacey Nelson and a clutch two-RBI double from Mary Ratliff in the top of the ninth inning.
- The program is on the precipice of setting the single-season record for stolen bases as it is currently tied with the 2007 record of 129.
- Skylar Wallace leads the way with 50 as she is now the single-season record holder after she passed Kelsey Stewart’s marks of 36 in 2013 and 2014.
- Freshman Kendra Falby currently has 35 stolen bases on the year and is just one shy from tying Stewart’s freshman record of 36 that she set in 2013.
- The duo ranks 3rd and 14th nationally respectively in the category. Falby ranks 2nd among freshman nationally this year.
- The Gators are seeking their 11th berth to the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City.
Our Defensive Coordinator!
When Florida Gators head coach Billy Napier was introduced as the team’s next head coach, he promised the Gator Nation an “army” when describing his incoming coaching staff.
The staff would consist of assistants who have gotten recognition around the college football world as some of the best in the game.
“We’re going to hire an army of people here,” Napier said on Dec. 5 last year. “We’re going to create an infrastructure not only in the personnel department but also from an on-campus recruiting, creative media, name, image and likeness. We’re going to create — we’ve got a great vision for the organization that we’re going to create here.”
Napier, of course, was referring not only to the assistant coaches that he would eventually lock-in but also to the enormous support staff – comprised of 48 individuals that were eventually brought on to help build out the staff.
With that said, over the next couple of weeks, we at AllGators will be releasing profiles to get to know each assistant coach, including their background, recruiting history, quotes and more.
Next up, we will take a look at one of Napier’s right-hand men, co-defensive coordinator/safeties coach Patrick Toney.
Background info:
Toney, 31, is a young up-and-comer in the realm of college football. Though he has years of experience at the FBS level, this will be his first opportunity to coach at the Power Five stage, beginning his coaching career at the prep level at Fallbrook (Calif.) High School as the team’s defensive line coach (2008).
He would briefly coach at the junior college level in 2009 at Palomar (Calif.) College as a wide receivers coach before going back to the prep level as an offensive coordinator at La Costa Canyon High School (2010-11).
After that, Toney got his first crack at Division I football, an FCS program called Southeastern Louisiana, as a defensive assistant/secondary coach (2012-13) before being promoted as the team’s safeties coach/special teams coordinator (2014).
From then, Toney’s career would take off as he toured Texas for a bit, coaching up the Sam Houston State secondary (2015) before coaching safeties at UTSA (2016-17).
And then, Toney would finally meet Napier, who hired him away from UTSA to coach with him at Louisiana, becoming his safeties coach for two years (2018-20) before being promoted to the team’s defensive coordinator/safeties coach (2020) and finally DC/outside linebackers coach (2021).
Recruiting history:
Toney’s recruiting history is short due to his fast-tracked start in college football and the world of recruiting at the FBS level. However, he’s already made an impact at Florida, becoming the team’s primary recruiter for one of the top safeties in the 2022 recruiting class, safety Kamari Wilson , with help from corners coach Corey Raymond .
Toney also was the primary recruiter for 2022 Gators signees, linebacker Shemar James and safety Devin Moore .
Though he wasn’t the man who brought them in, he has molded a few defensive backs into NFL-caliber players during his coaching career, including UL safety Percey Butler , who was selected by the Washington Commanders in the fourth round of this year’s draft.
Toney also had a hand in putting Southeastern Louisiana players, cornerback Harlan Miller (Round 6, Arizona Cardinals) and Robert Alford (Round 2, Atlanta Falcons) into the NFL via the draft in 2016 and 2013, respectively.
How it’s going:
Already briefly touched on, Toney played a significant role in Florida landing its first IMG Academy player in Wilson. Though fellow defensive back Kamar Wilcoxson attended IMG Academy for a short time, he ultimately never suited up for the high school.
Toney is also working hand-and-hand with Raymond on recruiting some of the best defensive backs in the country in the class of 2023 to Florida, including CB Cormani McClain (Lake Gibson, Fla) and AJ Harris (Central, Ala) among several others.
Quotable:
“I’ve been around a lot of coaches, right? I mean, I’ve worked in some of the best programs in the entire country. I’ve worked in some of the best programs in the entire country. I’ve worked with not only with some of the best head coaches but – it gets overlooked – (also) some of the best assistant coaches you get a chance to be around. And this guy … he knows what he’s doing.”- Napier on Toney

Hurricane Season Preditions
NOAA says to expect an above-average 2022 hurricane season
NOAA says they are expecting 14-21 named storms, 6-10 of them becoming hurricanes and 3-6 of those becoming major hurricanes.
A little more than a week away from the start of the Atlantic hurricane season, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released its outlook for the 2022 season, predicting an above-average number of named storms.
Forecasters from NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center are predicting 14 to 21 named storms, 6 to 10 hurricanes and 3 to 6 major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale). These numbers are greater than the 30-year averages (1991-2020) of 14 named storms, seven hurricanes and three major hurricanes.
This marks the 7th consecutive above-average season, according to NOAA administrator Rick Spinrad.
The NOAA, CSU 2022 hurricane forecasts compared to 2021 and average seasons.
