re: Mr. Saban hit the nail on the head on SVP on ESPN

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.
