The fact Alabama was still pulling in top classes makes you look stupid for saying this.

This reeks of hotshot highschool QB realizing, over the summer, that he won't make the team in college, and that he'll be driving the same car for the next 20 years.

I've heard him bitch incessantly about NIL, but not provide any solutions. At this point, he's just a miserable old man screaming at the clouds.

It sure as shite isn't broken for the ones college is supposed to benefit: the players.

1. Fans are going to keep watching. Interest will not wane. Programs will still make money.

2. $15,000,000 coaching staffs will just have to deal with keeping their rosters intact year after year. I know I feel sorry for them when they are all more than willing to leave players hanging if a better job offer comes along.

3. Fans will just have to deal with the fact that Johnny Fivestar isn't headed to Tuscaloosa to jump on a grenade for the Tide. He's in pursuit of money and opportunity. Deal with it or don't watch.

Saban's not necessarily wrong about a lot of this, but it's more about he couldn't have total control anymore. That's why he retired. The rest of his stuff about love of the game yada yada is just sugar coating on that fact.

When he was flying on private jets and helicoptering in to see recruits he didn't stop and say, damn this is really unfair to smaller schools who don't have the budget to do this. Is this what we want the game to be?

He's old and a lot of other teams have deeper pockets than Alabama. It is what it is.

I'm being a dick but I agree with some of his stuff. There has to be some kind of time commitment through NIL contracts or whatever. Not necessarily 4 year contracts but something to prevent teams turning over 50%+ of their roster every year. Players continually moving on will eventually hurt the product for everyone without Texas in their name.

That's 100 percent little nickie.

This.

He doesn't give a shlt about the 'purity of the game'. He's just pissed that he couldn't keep paying players whle sic'ing the NCAA on other schools anymore. Tennessee and Virginia put an end to that.
