“You think (parity) is here?” Alabama coach Nick Saban said after stepping away from the press conference podium. “I think the way Southern Cal, Texas and Texas A&M are spending money … it hasn’t hit yet.”
Saban accuses Texas, Texas A&M and USC of Pay-for-Play

While Texas A&M still failed to produce a Top 10 class after buying the #1 class the year before, both Texas and USC were able to do so. Both programs are determined to return to relevance after both have been laughing stocks of college football for the last decade plus.

As of now, there are no press conferences scheduled in response to Saban’s latest accusations of pay-for-play, but it will be interesting to see how everything unfolds.

Classic move. Stir up the donors with wild statements that cause them to feel inadequate so they will loosen the purse strings.

Get used to it Nick. There are consequences for being in a poor backwards state.

I mean, isn't everyone doing this now? If you're not, you're way behind.

Saban is just mad that he can't stockpile 5 stars anymore with Dodge Chargers
it was the depth that made Bama so good
Now that depth is going elsewhere for NIL and more playing time rather than waiting 2/3 years to see the field
It's impacting every team and unless the rules are scaled back it will continue to be that way
Restricting NIL will only invite more lawsuits
The only way to fix things is to modify the transfer portal or go back to having players sit out a year if they do transfer unless there is a coaching change or that player has graduated

I loved the responses by Aggie about this class. “The last class was so good no one could find a spot to play in this class”. They really think a team is made up of only starters

Come to Alabama or Georgia and get paid. Don't join up with the poors.

Good play by Saban. I’d tell my ego-centric, rich boosters others are outspending them too.

Prove him wrong...

You can't get fricking butt hurt by the statement. Truth is truth. If it hurts your little feelings, then man the frick up.

Tejas and Arch Manning

quote:

he story came out a week ago and immediately drew attention across the college football world: The University of Texas, in an effort to convince star high school quarterback Arch Manning to play football for the Longhorns, spent nearly $280,000 on his official recruiting visit.

Not sure of exactly what Saban is accusing them of? "bama's NIL avg. is almost twice what A&M's is according to your chart.

Saban is essentially doing what he did last year, trying to suck more money from his donors and building in an excuse when his team tanks again this season.

FWIW, On3 is all about getting clicks regardless of whether they have the facts straight or not.

Saban is a lying, cheating, short man syndrome, grade A narcissistic a-hole.

He literally said that A&M paid EVERY player on their roster and Alabama has NEVER paid a single one. I mean, dude is a total clown, even if he his the GOAT college football coach. He’s probably played a dozen games in his entire tenure at Bama where he played against a more talented roster, and he’s done that by somehow getting the top class year after year after year, and he’s asking people to believe that others are paying, but not him?!

It’s just beyond absurd. Dude is an asshat.

Several Alabama recruits over the last two seasons were quoted saying Alabama didn't offer as much as other schools, but you tard asses don't want to hear that do you?

To the tard asses saying, "muh Saban mad cuz he c'aint stokpyle dem cruits"- you're idiots. He's literally still bringing in top classes. Damn some of you people are thick and talk out od your asses.

Here's the truth, you all want Alabama to be done and disappear from college football, but it's not happening anytime soon. Alabama doesn't win the championship for 2 years and you all are acting like we have Ears Whitworth coaching at UA. Don't let me interrupt happy time where you boys fantasize about Alabama's demise. I'd hate to bring reality to your shitposting.

Dammit Nick, Jimbo has already told you once that those kids chose A&M over anyone else because of the hard work put in to recruit them and A&Ms winning tradition in the SEC West. Saban is so narcissistic.

Every time I hear Nicky say something that grabs a headline I see this meme.



I can't take him seriously.
