After going off on what he perceives as modern-day pimps at the SEC Media Day, Nick Saban is taking some steps to protect his players from exposure to that side of the football world. TheAlabama Crimson Tidecoachhas blocked NFL scoutsfrom attending Alabama’s practices in a move many see as payback the NFL’s apparent lack of action against what Saban perceives as unscrupulous player agents.
Saban isn’t the only SEC coach to block NFL scouts either. Urban Meyer is following Alabama’s lead, although,there’s some ambiguity involved.
While these reactions are understandable, if not a little misguided—“amateur” players who cross the agent line know their actions can cause a lot of trouble for their teams— it’s reminiscent of Col. Strelnikov’s quote inRed Dawn:
“If a fox stole your chickens… Would you slaughter your pig because he saw the fox? No. You would hunt the fox.”
Apparently, identifying agents and their runners is a little harder than recognizing, and denying entrance to, official NFL scouts.
