Or all of you are just blind followers? At least Saban has won a lot … but no Aggie can’t see any fault on your 8-5 coach after acting like a menopausal bitch?


Did you know that LSU is their real threat?

Saban has been coaching a LONG time. Never once has he ever stated he wants parity. Why has he not ever said it at all the past 40 years until just now? Bc he doesn’t.

He’s just using that line to try and make changes that will benefit him now bc he’s concerned with losing all the leverage he was had. Heck, he Evan attacked a HBCU.

I agree

This whole NIL deal can be the death of college football without some sort of clarity, regulation, whatever. And I can totally get it where Saban is trying to convey that.

But - yeah, he should have thought better of “naming names” - although the examples drive his point - still…..

I think they are both telling the truth. What I saw was Jimbo challenging the writers to dig deep into Saban's actions over the years and Sank protecting Saban by shutting everything down.

Only complaint for me was the term “Bought”. While educated people know what he was saying, the Jimbo’s of the world misrepresented his statements. To induce high school recruits to play for your school by offering money from “Boosters” is not really a purchase of a player, only his services. I am not sure if Saban used the term on purpose in order to make a point or if he just misspoke but it makes little difference. A&M is guilty of using NIL to recruit. Legal in Texas, I hear. Funny that you can’t wear a hat in the Alamo or swim the river in San Antoine but Texas laws encourage the breaking of NCAA bylaws.

You can see that with how nobody really disagrees with what he said, they are just upset because he said it.
People only made a big deal because who said it. If someone who seemed clean said it and didn't pick out certain schools then it would have been all about the NLI. The fact he called someone else a cheat is why everyone is ignoring the point. He is viewed as one of the dirtiest coaches and all any sees is it as him being a hypocrite and jealous.

He wasnt going to be able to say anything about it and not get criticized because he already came out in favor of it.

What I saw was one man speaking matter of factly, and another wiping his bleeding vagina all over the media. Saban was right about Dumbo's class and Dumbo was right about the fact that he's not smart enough to figure out the NIL conundrum. He's not smart enough to figure out a lot of things. Maybe he is actually ignorant to how he actually got his mercenaries. Maybe he actually thinks all of the heavy hitters just up and decided that college station was the place to be, all by themselves.

Saban has a history of bitching and whining and always ends up looking prophetic on the back end.

He is as strategic minded as it gets among the CFB ranks. There aren't wasted words or "bad moments." He doesn't ramble in interviews, he sends a message to the audience he is targeting.

Message I heard was, "we're in a good spot, but getting outmaneuvered in all that NIL can do for the talent pool. I appreciate your donations, but we need to pony up in a different way... now."
