Nick Saban Stands Firm On His Thoughts About NIL Rules

In an interview at the Senior Bowl this week, Alabama head coach Nick Saban made it clear that he “draws the line” at using NIL as a recruiting tool itself...

quote:
“When we start using name, image and likeness for a kid to come to our school, that’s where I draw the line,” Saban said, via ESPN. “Because that’s not why we did this.”

“I hear these crazy people on TV who say now you’re doing it above board,” he said. “We never did it, we never did it, we never cheated to get a player. We never paid players to come to our school.

“And now that’s actually happening. People are making deals with high school players to go to their school.”

This MFer... Luther Davis gave Yahoo copies of the money orders he was using when he was a Bama bag man.

The barbers paid the family’s of the players, so technically he’s right. Alabama never paid the players directly

Vernonbrew22•47 months

He is so full of it. Bama has been buying the nation’s best players for decades. Now oil rich Texas schools and loaded U gonna have a chance at the best

That's why ole Saban is crying because Texas and Texas A & M will out bid Alabama and Alabama will not have the number 1 class every year now. I think it's hilarious!

Plausible deniability. Someone paid players to go there, not the school directly. This Aggie shite is waay beyond ridiculous tho.

hey lil Nicky wipe the BS from your mouth

Hey, how about all the Dodge Chargers that the players get??? Give me a break, Saban.

"We never did it." The alumni club used to use a Bobcat to load up money for 5 star gumps. Tua's family got a house, money, and moving expenses. Who is to say how much moving costs? How much to buy off a DA for a weapons charge for a kid that sweated?

Landon Collins GF got a full ride to go to Bama.

So basically from what I am seeing in the comments here, any coach that said they didn't cheat is a liar. Let's just narrow it down to SEC coaches. Don't say you didn't cheat because you are a liar.

Saban is a cheating liar though. You've got to be completely closed off from reality to believe otherwise.

When the thieves begin to demand law and order to protect themselves from the new bigger thieves, that is a truly sad state of affairs for college football. How ironic.

JR•47 months

Oh right, you are now so full of shite you are beginning to believe it yourself.

Nick, if you can’t stand the heat…get out the kitchen! I’m sure you can sit next to Paul on his Bama azz kissing show instead of coaching in this new era of CFB.

What a liar.

“We never did it, we never did it, we never cheated to get a player. We never paid players to come to our school." That's fricking hilarious. Me thinks he's 'misremembering" the days of Julio, T-Rent, Ingram, Fluker, et.al.

imjustafatkid•47 months

yes, those are all names of Alabama players.
