re: Respect for Saban as a coach, but he's a hypocrite when it comes to pay for play!

I just listened to Saban speak before congress and I just find it comical that he would now find a problem with pay for play, when Alabama has been paying players to come play for them for years. Yes, NIL is out of control, and yes, all the big time programs have been paying players for years, but I just find it humorous that Saban would be the poster child to speak against NIL when he had no problem paying for players all those years at Alabama, as long as they signed with his program.

I have tremendous respect for him as a coach, but to go before Congress and rail against NIL, I find very amusing. It's like inviting Bill Clinton to speak before Congress on the sanctity of marriage.

Stop whining, its all good. Now if you really believe, which you don't, that Bama was the only school (yes Bama buys players) that did that, well, good luck in life but chill out. The public has spoken, NIL is fine, collectives are fine, the transfer portal is fine, Saban wasted his time (and our governments) and let's move on.
