“All the things that I’ve believed in for all these years, 50 years in coaching, no longer exist in college athletics,” Saban said in Washington, D.C. last week. “It always was about developing players, it always was about helping people be more successful in life. My wife (Terry) even said to me, we would have all the recruits over on Sunday with their parents for breakfast, and she would always meet with the mothers and talk about how she was going to help impact their sons and how they would be well taken care of."

"I didn't retire because of the new environment in college sports. It would've been exciting to try to adapt to that. You have to keep adapting. This is the biggest adaptation, I think, in the history of college athletics," Krzyzewski said on the Dan Patrick Show. "It's not been coordinated. You don't even know who to call into a meeting to discuss what needs to be discussed. This has been three years now, Dan."

He continued: "Instead of complaining about what it is, just accept the fact that this is a new time. Just because it isn't like the old, doesn't mean it's not okay. This is what it is, and we should figure out how to do what it is in the best interest of everyone."
