Saban Made False Statements, and that ruined his point on NIL

A&M didn’t buy their entire class. This can be easily verified to be a false statement via the NIL office. They don’t all have NIL deals while still in HS. But he was asserting that A&M was paying players in order to sign LOI. Which he has now backtracked off of in his apology and says he didn’t mean to say they did anything illegal.

Jackson State didn’t pay Hunter $1 million.
This is another false statement by Saban.
He has no knowledge or evidence, and claims he read about it. He has now been repudiated by Coach Prime and by Hunter.

It’s possible to have a conversation about NIL without making BS accusations against specific schools. There are plenty of other collectives at other schools that are much more brazen in their advertisement of what they are paying.

Texas openly paying every OL $50k just to be on the team is the definition of pay for play.

Saban just missed his mark in his sloppy comments.

Nobody, and I repeat NOBODY believes that any of those players chose A&M without some form of monetary payment.

What they're mad about is that Saban is a hypocrite. Not because what he said was untrue because it was very true.

You didn't buy your entire class is correct. You did however buy those poor 5 star souls who would never in a million years choose a quitter culture with homoerotic "traditions."

This is another false statement without any basis in fact.

If you don’t allow facts to inform your opinion, then you are just going off emotions.

Using all caps is an obvious indicator of being emotional.

I’m glad you agree.

Now as to your trash talk, LSU fans have difficulty accepting the fact that A&M has more to offer. Don’t let jealousy cloud your judgement.

These kids chose a school with better and more respected academics, better and more respected coaches and a larger and more successful alumni base. These factors amount to better chances to succeed in life after college ball.

Writing is on the wall that the NCAA is headed to CSTX, and Jimbo said yesterday that he essentially welcomes it. His repeated attestation is that your program is as pure as the driven snow.

So I guess we’re all going to find out…

YAAWWNN and another fricking stupid Aggie thread. You bought the entire class and everybody knows it sit down and shut up. It won’t matter anyway because you idiots will find a way to continue to lose

Is it? I was not aware of that. But you’re right, we’ll see.

There is no pure as the driven snow attitude. The NIL lawyers who worked with A&M have assured Jimbo and Bjork that everything was set up correctly and is all legal per Texas State Law. The NIL side is separate from the A&M AD and the recruiting team. So that’s all I have to go by.

Jimbo said he welcomed any confrontation at SEC Media days. I want to see Jimbo walk laps around Saban while Saban is at the podium. Similar to what Saban has done in pregame.

Our arguments are based on facts and logic

Their arguments are based on emotion

You had a 600% increase in 5 star signees in one year. The magnitude of that deviation from normal alone is enough to know that your words are bullshite.

I am very curious why you are so defensive of something everyone does. Congrats on doing it the best, that is something to be proud of. You guys have the most money for your program, wish we did.

I'd be REAL interested to see what kind of whips A&M's non bought recruiting class and their families are driving this fall, especially in comparison to what they were driving in there past.

It was an impressive class. Doesn’t mean my words are BS. You are entitled to an opinion - even if you don’t have facts.

Highly rated high school football players don't give a shite about your academics or your alumni base.

As to your point about a respected coaching staff, Jimbo is somewhat respected but the rest of your staff is relatively unknown.
