Clueless Sen. Tommy Tuberville looks at IU's come-from-nowhere story and this is what he sees: "They bought them a football team..."

Did I mention the former coach and current lawmaker is clueless?

Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville is a moron. That’s really the first thing you need to know. I don’t care that he had a modicum of success as a college football coach at Auburn and other places. Those positions don’t require a PhD., OK? And as a politician, well, I don’t care which side of the aisle you sit on, he’s one of the biggest dopes in Congress – and that’s in a well-established confederacy of dunces.

Tuberville now wants there to be a law that requires college athletes who collect NIL money to be contracted to their programs for multiple years. Two years, three years, he’s not quite sure. “…We’ve got to have some kind of penalty for players breaking contracts,” he told the Quarterback Club of Birmingham Monday.  

That’s pretty rich coming from Tuberville who, on at least two notable occasions, broke long-term contracts to take another job. Did it in 1999, leaving Mississippi for Auburn after promising he wouldn’t leave, and then again in 2012, when he literally left recruits at a dinner table so he could break his deal with Texas Tech and take a job at Cincinnati. And listen, if IU hadn’t come across with the big dollars for Curt Cignetti, don’t you know he would have been poached by another program? Of course, he would have.

But here’s the best part (and I apologize for taking so long to get here):
