Alabama coach Nick Saban accuses Texas A&M of buying “every player on their team” through a series of lucrative Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals.
In what is sure to make for some awkward moments on the set of their AFLAC commercials, Saban also took a shot at Jackson State’s Deion Sanders.
More from Nick Saban tonight: “Jackson State paid a guy a million dollars last year that was a really good Division I player to come to school. It was in the paper. They bragged about it! Nobody did anything about it."A&M has only produced one Top 5 recruiting class this century. Then, suddenly, it produces the #1 class in the land with the advent of the new NIL deals. Not that A&M did anything wrong or illegal in structuring their recruiting class that way.
While most agree with college football players having the ability to get paid, few would agree that arming 17-year-olds who lack education and emotional maturity with million-dollar deals is a good thing. Nor would most agree that allowing the recruiting and transfer process to turn into a bidding war among the most prosperous college programs is ideal.
