"A&M was first. A&M bought every player on their team -- made a deal for name, image, likeness. We didn't buy one player, all right? But I don't know if we're gonna be able to sustain that in the future because more and more people are doing it. It's tough." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted May 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 First, Saban is a hypocritical sleazeball. Any passing glance at Bama recruiting makes it clear they were cheating and paying ayers. That being said, A$M absolutely paid for that class. Absolutely. It can just be legal through NIL now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" I think players should be able to profit off of their name, image and likeness. But I don’t want to lose what Michigan is, and it’s a transformational experience, not a transactional experience. But with the NIL, it can become transactional. We’re not going to recruit players and be promising them money to come here. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saban just isn't use to losing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumby73 Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 I really don’t like this era of college football... Ryan Day is the first major coach to openly speak about the going rate for elite talent. Per Ryan Day: Top Tier QB's require $2M in NIL Elite Edge Rusher require $1M Top Offensive Tackles require $1M Day said, "if you're not in the game when the players ask.. you're done". 3:28 PM · Jun 2, 2022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost total respect for Saban when on Christmas Day he got the entire sports media away from their families just to tell them he was taking the Dolphins job as their HC then subsequently quit on them... He's an arrogant tool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
