I know saban been paying players but let's say he never did. His raw coaching ability would have still pulled in several #1 coaching classes. Now you have Texas 8&4 paying 30mil for the #1 class and dumbo fisher running the show that can't coach a football team out of a wet paper bag.

While I think these kids do deserve compensation for what they do, the whole NIL process is hotdog water. I would rather see the best coaching staffs get the best players and if you were really desperate sneak a couple hundys under the table for a top guy you weren't in on.

Probably not true. If you are completely playing by the rules and the teams you are competing with are giving out tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) to poor families then you are not getting #1 classes no matter how many national title rings you have.

This is in no way a knock on Saban as he is perhaps that GOAT but whether or not he wants to admit it Bama has been paying players as long as anyone and it has helped them keep a competitive edge

You do realize the source for that 30mil number is a sports message board at Oklahoma University?

The schools complaining about the NIL are the ones who were cheating before the NIL. Now that everything is out in the open, the schools with the big money don't have to hide it in Dodge Chargers. The playing field is now level.

Saban never did it because he had boosters do it for him.
