Saban - this isn't college football

I don't disagree with CNS, but it is pretty funny that Bama had a big advantage over other programs for years by illegally paying players, and now that everyone can openly pay players, Saban quits and says things need to change.

Right message, wrong messenger.

It'll be ok Mulkey, the bad man is gone now. Go shine up the leather on your Kim doll and you'll be right as rain in no time.

Why was Bama the only one allowed to do this?

Crazy that the other 100+ teams were such pussies they let Alabama get away with this for so long. Almost ... not believable.

This is the modern day equivalent of “but Bear had 170 scholarships to use” nonsense.

No. Alabama was not the only school paying players pre 2020.

Yes. Nick Saban is the wrong guy to talk about how college football needs to go back to the old ways.

He did this with the hurry up too. He’s the best coach ever but is a little bitch when he doesn’t get preferential treatment. In essence he’s a microcosm of the Bama fan base as a whole

Schools still can't pay players.

and I don't want to say cap because that sounds like a salary cap


Good. Because your salary was never capped, coach.


To hear Saban talk about players getting paid too much is either the least self-aware or most intellectually dishonest thing I've ever heard him say.

Thank you for your service. I'll never forget how you absolutely broke LSU and absolutely owned uga, but it's time to golf more and talk less, coach.

Some schools gave players cars and whores. Some schools stole money from a Children's Hospital to pay for players.

Bama signed its best class of Saban’s tenure in the NIL era

I’d say the transfer portal is the bigger problem

So your saying they Let Nick pay players every single year
yet punished & fired Pruitt for doing the same
You just need to get over your butthurt from losing to
Nick for 17 years. Relax, he's gone. You should feel better already knowing your team is gonna pulverize us from this day forward. Don't you?
