Nick Saban Offers Harsh Comments On The NIL Era During Capitol Hill Roundtable Discussion

But you still have the same problem. You could have a controlled salary plan that applies to every university, but that doesn't control NIL. NFL players can make unlimited money off of their names outside of their contract. That's the issue at hand now. The ncaa gave players the ability to profit off their names. I'm not sure they have any chance in hell of being able to go back in time now and get a do over. This all boils down to the ncaa and universities were selfish as hell and said "we aren't sharing our money, let the fans pay them". In that simple model the ncaa relinquished all of its power.

He is doing , and has been saying things that coaches, fans and AD"s all over the country feel but for some reason won't take a stand.

That's because he has won already and doesn't have to anymore to secure anything. His legacy is sealed. The reason why other coaches and AD's aren't saying anything is because they have to win, and win now, or they'll lose sponsors, they'll lose recruits, and they'll lose their jobs. Which means losing $$$$.

To Kracka:

I'm don't see what your post has to do with me saying that I like Saban and Byrne speaking up. Just because other coaches or ADs find reasons not to speak up (legitimate or not) does not mean that two people who know how the system works cannot speak up and try to get people to understand that changes need to be made or college sports will alienate the very people that provide all of that $$$$ you talk about. If the fans go away, so will the viewer base for the networks that are paying these exorbitant prices to televise the games.
