re: Saban Made False Statements, and that ruined his point on NIL

So as Jimbo stated that A&M did not provide $$ to a recruit to sign with them, then this makes Saban’s statements false.

Choice of words do matter. Saban said a&m bought the class. It may have not been by Jimbo or the college but it was done so by boosters/alum of the college who support a&m and without their money a&m would not be where they are today.

So directly or indirectly Saban was correct. The clkass was bought and paid for by people people associated with the program and officially recognized by the college based on their contributions which defines them as boosters. Saban's comments never said it was illegal but that NIL was not designed for this but because the lack legislation the NCAA is allowing it and that it needs to be changed.
