Amazing how people keep misinterpreting Coach Saban here. He not once said players shouldn’t be paid. In fact, he supports it.
His point was about creating structure with things like revenue sharing, authentic NIL opportunities, and clear guidelines to bring some order to the current chaos of pay-for-play via collectives, excessive transferring, and eligibility abuse.
Which, to an extent, has diminished the value of education and ironically created even more disparity because there is no real structure or cap, something every professional league operates under.
Coach Saban is a 7-time national championship-winning head coach who is now happily retired. If you think for a second his intentions are anything other than trying to help improve the landscape of college athletics, you are sadly mistaken.
