As I said previously… The false statement was that A&M bought their entire class.
Sure, his comments could have been defined better.
Most people took that to mean that he accused A&M of paying all of the guys to sign with A&M. So he apologized, and his apology and clarification came as the result of people thinking that he meant A&M was breaking the law/breaking the rules. There is a reason that Saban tried to call Jimbo…
I think it's true that NIL money got those kids to A&M. Hence paid, but not paid directly by A&M.
I also think it's true that it wasn't illegal.

I think it’s fair to say that the athletes have a good enough idea that A&M athletes have had strong NIL capabilities. I’m not naive.
And that’s not illegal because it’s not a specific enticement.
And especially considering there are some either schools that publicly stated “each OL signee gets $50k” - which is a clear enticement…
So you can see why Jimbo took exception to A&M being called out.
