You think Saban literally meant Alabama wasn't paying players prior to NIL?


If you think Saban has ever paid a player then you are dumber than I thought.

shite may happen in terms of players getting paid, but good coaches don't get involved in that shite. It completely undermines their authority as the player now has the ability to end a coaches career at any point just by speaking up. So whatever happens, it's done by boosters and other types.

The entire reason he retired is because he doesn't want any part of that shite.

I seriously doubt a school/coach has ever personally paid a player (outside of Will Wade).

The schools/coaches aren't the ones paying the players now though, it's still the boosters.
