Saban: CFB Playoff is why players are skipping bowl games

I think Saban is just angry that he has to play 2 games instead of 1 at the end of the year.

Saban doesn't care if he runs his players into the dirt before the NFL. Just win is all that matters.

He IS right. He's also right that all of you screaming for 8 teams, will want 16 teams, and you'll eventually ruin college football.

Lord Saban has spoken.

yes, he is right.

I'm not bitter about anything. All I said was he would do whatever to win.

Ok? I'm not making this about LSU. You Bama boys are sensitive this morning.

He doesn't coach football afraid that people are going to get hurt?
Wow.....Damn....I have to respect his honesty. I want my kid to play for a guy like him one day.
What a great recruiting tool this will turn into.


He doesn't think athletes should live their life worried about creating value for themselves?

That's easy to say when you are worth tens of millions of dollars and won't lose a penny if anybody ruins their athletic career with an injury. The lake house and vacation properties are all paid off.

This guy has zero self-awareness. What a dick.

Schools are allowed to pay injury insurance on players and they can also get it themselves.

Injury Insurance

Ekpre-Olomu was just one of many players for whom Oregon paid premiums on injury or loss-of-value insurance, which cost $8,000 per $1 million of coverage. That money comes out of the NCAA’s Student Assistance Fund, used to aid student-athletes “in meeting financial needs that arise in conjunction with participation in intercollegiate athletics.”

"Fournette needs to know it has become common practice for the game's best players to purchase disability insurance. The policies bought by his parents cover him for $10 million in total disability in the event of a career-ending injury and $10 million for circumstances that would lead to him falling from his projected NFL draft spot."
