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

he had no problem paying for players all those years at Alabama

If you think Saban ever personally paid a player then you are stupid and have no idea how things work.

It would do nothing but undermine all of his authority and put his entire career in the hands of 85 different college kids year after year. Any of them could at any time spill the beans and end his career and the success of the football program.

How is a coach in that position going to put any authority on them? Much less the kind of authority and control Saban demanded from them? How is it possible that in all the years he was a coach, not a single recruit ever did such a thing?

Because that's not how it fricking works, that's why.
