Nick Saban complaining about NIL is hypocritical. We all know Alabama was playing this game as well. He's just upset that NIL is leveling the playing field.

I listen to him on Bret Bair's program and he was very reasonable and had a very evan handed on the problem including the advantages Bama, and other big name universities had.Nick Saban complaining about NIL is hypocritical.

Remember, it was the Supreme Court that ruled on NIL, hence, I think it will be very difficult to regulate it and/or restrict or cap it.Without directly saying it I sensed he was leaning toward some sort of salary cap for NIL. That would have nothing to do with players ability to receive dollars for commercials or promotions from the private sector but give schools the ability to get NIL dollars to athletes in the non revenue sports which I don't think is happening too much currently.

I’m not so sure that I agree with that.I don’t think any person alive is equipped to have a debate with Nick Saban regarding what is best for the future of college football. He coached for 50 years, and from 2008 to 2023, he was the best to ever do it.
Alabama was going to pull in #1 or #2 classes and be a National Championship contender as long as he was there.
He got fed up with 18-21 year olds, enabler parents and street agents trying to soak him for cash. Then these prima donnas get to the NFL, get hit with some actual adult adversity and fold up like a cheap suit.
The goal of “improving” the student athlete’s experience has be an abject failure. We have free agency & pay for play. That’s not college football.
Why the F would NIL money go to athletes in non-revenue sports? What are you an effin' communist or something? Or I guess that would make Nick Saban the communist....Without directly saying it I sensed he was leaning toward some sort of salary cap for NIL.

NIL is athlete specific !Why the F would NIL money go to athletes in non-revenue sports? What are you an effin' communist or something? Or I guess that would make Nick Saban the communist....

Not if you read what SCOTUS actually ruled. They merely said that schools could not evade anti-trust laws by saying that amateurism was essential. They never said that schools could not adopt regulations.Agreed
