NIL is trending college football toward bidding wars in recruiting, and that's not good news for Alabama and Nick Saban, writes ChaseGoodbread.
. Edging out Saban in that department has been all but impossible for well over a decade. The Crimson Tide coach had more to sell recruits on – elite facilities, national championships, and an unmatched pipeline of NFL draft picks – and sold it better than any coach out there.Saban said even in-state recruits who've grown up wanting to play for Alabama are trying to leverage the Crimson Tide to match NIL offers they've received elsewhere.
Think not only Texas A&M, but SEC newcomer Texas as well. There's no competing with oil money, and the booster war chests at those schools are immeasurably deep. Think Oregon, and what Nike founder Phil Knight could do for the Ducks' signing classes. The Oregon graduate and the school's top benefactor is worth about $60 billion, per Forbes, and he's behind Oregon's NIL collective. How about Notre Dame? Now there's an alumni base with some wallet clout.
