That's a fine reason.

Also...

Saban was trying to get away from having to compete against another big in state school for recruits.

Saban was also looking to go to a school that had lower academic standards.

None of that indicates parity. Indeed, it shows a lack of parity.

So Saban left MSU due to a lack of parity, so when he says, "college football has always had parity", I don't believe him. I don't think he even believes himself.

Most simple example of parity that I can come up with:
You're sitting across from an Honors student in your math class.
You both have the same teacher, are taught the same material, and have the same time and tools to study from, and take the same tests. You make a C in the class, and the Honors student made an A.
Now was there parity regarding the entire experience, or not?
Parity means that everyone gets the same chance, not everyone should automatically receive the same grade.....and the rules should be the same for all schools, BUT what they do under those rules is determined by...THEM!
