    The only "right" things football players should worry about doing are putting 100% effort into how they play and practice, obeying the law, and following the university's rules.

    Definitely disagree with this. The whole point of sports is to teach responsibility, teamwork, honor, pride, excersise. So on and so on. It’s to help prepare youth for the grown up world. Sports have obviously become big business and there is a huge entertainment value for those who watch them. But for the players it’s all about learning and development.

    Better a situation like this to gain national pub instead of an F Trump video..

    Can't help but think if Saban came up with this idea, the sports media would be drooling all over it...

    It has been pointed out many times that we have lost the younger generation and that our donor base is ever graying. This is an opportunity to begin bringing them back in at the ground level for nominal amounts. Only thing unfortunate was that it may have been rolled out in a PR snafu. Or maybe not, as it surely got lots of attention.

    Huge swing and miss here! Sports are directly correlated to lessons in life. Who better to connect those dots than the one leading the team?

    Especially so close in time to having prematurely put to rest a coach from Crowley, LA who was renowned nationally for the time and effort he tirelessly spent making MEN into every athlete he touched. Go figure.

    Have any player tweeted about this. I'm curious what they have to say.

    I saw TJ Wisham's tweet but nothing from other players

    I respect his opinion, but be careful with social media, TJ.

    Are people really griping about these guys giving $0.96 a week? It costs more than that to get a soda from a vending machine.

    Skip the soda, take a few sips from the water fountain, and donate your $50. It’s good for your health! 😂

    In my humble opinion, if a Saban, Sabo or similar had made this move at their P-5 power universities, ESPN would be lapping it up like mother's milk.

    It is my understanding that all coaches on the football team are required to be RCAF donors. They are putting their money in the game.

    A lot of people attacking Napier on this issue (not on here) and his character. I don't have any problem saying I support Coach Napier 100 percent on this and what he is trying to do. The way it was taken by many was out of context. He needs to know he hasn't lost our confidence in him and this is in no way compared to anything Coach Hud's staff did. Not event close. He hasn't done anything wrong, just his technique was rough around the edges. He will learn.

    This will die over, and be applauded pretty quickly, once Saban gives his two cents.
