Nick Saban saying that Bama never bought a player is like Bill Clinton saying "I did not have sexual relations with that woman!" LOL
The funniest comment 😂
Hahaha Good One!
🤣🤣🤣
He didn't just some head.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Exactly, that was spot on
The problem happened a long time ago when they started paying coaches more than the college president.
Lol. Football coaches bring in more revenue then any college president.
The problems are that colleges are run like companies, and not like education....they brainwash their kids instead of teach them...those are the problems.
@@kylem7365 college players*
@@stevealker2750 players wouldn’t be there without the coaches
Is there a single study proving college football teams bring in more revenue than they cost college students and taxpayers?
Long as they sign with Bama it’s not a problem
He’s not saying that!!! If you want to win the ship and become NFL ready come to Bama!!
@@kenmccall6535 That chip doesn't really mean anything. you can get to the NFL ready from a ton of power 5 school's not just Bama.
Yup
@@hunterzolomon864 Do you want to be a first rounder? 41 first rounders since 2009 under Saban. The platform he's built is truly conducive to success; on the field by winning and being in the championship games and off the field by yielding the highest graduation rate among Division 1 football athletes. You'd be a fool to think just "any power 5" will propel your name to NFL teams and scouts. So, yes, the 'chip does matter.
@@durkabomb7220 bro u do not need Bama to be a first round if you a Dog you may go 2 or 3rd round and get the payday in the league because you are actually better player
This guys got his balls, Bama been giving bags for years.
Someone's full of shit..
Did you happen to hear the over 1 billion dollars his players have earned in the NFL comment? CNS has created multiple millionaires since he's been HC. So save it!
It's one thing for people to think you're a MORON, it's another thing to post a DELUSIONAL COMMENT and PROVE IT!
Facts just ask Fred Taylor who played for Florida and confess to receiving $50,000 . Pressure is being applied
@@USCJ yup
Oh man! More fuel to fire for this year's matchup.
That’s exactly what this is!!!!
3:45 "were going to lose recruits because people are willing to pay them more" Nick Saban
So he's admitting to paying players and hating at the same time 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
lol . Yes I caught that too
Bro I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who caught that. Haha.
He is speaking in the future if paying players is completely legal like A&M did this year. He is saying if that is what it becomes we could be out bid for players. Dumbo is the one admitted he paid players after just coming off probation for cheating.
@@biglebowski923 lol . Parity is coming to college football via NIL . Cough up more money UA.
@@bernardriggs2079 How so? Do you think schools like Georgia Tech will win a national championship with these rules. Do you think they will compete with big oil of Texas?
Thank you Nick, you just opened up a way for Bama to get investigated for giving players money and cars before the NIL. YOU F'D UP 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yup, all those championships will be vacated
Did you not hear him say 1. They don't allow NIL until a player gets on scholarship and 2. The NCAA can't do anything about these teams buying money until they get federal backing.
@@heathb.7117 those players been gettin money before the nil deals
Raisedon2pac facts! Who is the PR person at Alabama?
"College athletics should not be a place you go to make money" Says the guy making millions a year off of them while they played for free. In reality all the top schools "bought" their players, even if it was through it third party.
They been not just nick coughs it's all the top tier teams and slash dynasties in college football they buy recruits one way or the other the thing with Alabama and I'm a crimson tide fan man is its really handicapping players who all want to play for Bama and our mystique because a lot of players are getting buried in our depth charts I don't like this nil thing though because i think it will hurt the NFL cause these players won't need to go into the NFL and be as hungry that's just my opinion and who knows man who knows one day this nil shit might end the nfl.
That 1950 way of thinking is over in College Sports where everyone made money except the product that was creating it in exchange for a useless 4 year degree in todays world
Saban has a college degree. He is right college is meant for higher learning not to play football.
You misinterpreting his point here. He said he is all for the kids making money, he just thinks it isn't sustainable for them to choose their college solely based off the biggest pay day. Other factors should be as if not more important (degree/major, culture fit, program fit, etc.)
@@LankWrld . Seriously,
Nearly everything we do in life is about money . But we don’t expect 17 years to make decisions based on money .
As an HBCU grad let me just say don’t none of our schools got that kind of budget to be just giving away $1mil to one person
Doesn’t come from school budget … none of these schools technically have it come from thier budget …that’s what he is talking about … loopholes in system …
No offense to Deion but anyway that kid hunter goes there without the one million dollar deal …
Now .. it technically did not come from the school … but everyone knows Deion’s relationship with barstool sports facilitate the deal …
Coaches and schools will just have to adjust to new way of doing things
@@jonathanruiz7877 but that’s not just for jsu or for Florida that’s for everyone and to kinda make it sound like they paid him personally is kinda crappy of nick
And there letting him play both sides something most schools wouldn’t do in A ball
@@HeCreative I hear you … think he was just coming up with high profile ones off the top of his head … especially theJSU kid … they made a big deal out of it in the news/social media….
Again , I think they all just should adjust to it … the days of having Derrick Henry on your bench for 2 years with super teams are gone
It doesn’t come from the actual school it comes from outsiders. N hunter already said jsu have him 1mill after prime lied about it.
Can’t wait to hear Coach Prime & Jimbo’s responses to this.
Coach prime definitely responded, go look
Jimbo gonna kick his ass. He aint hard to find.
This pale face old man thinks he owns those players. I hope they see this and see how he looks at them. They use that money those kids make and give it to people who want to take away their vote
Ridiculous. Last fall even the University of Maryland published that every athlete was recieving NIL money, Highest paid were two women field hockey players. For him to say only 28 player got money means Alabama is out to touch.
First of all, this Coach Prime is not a real coach, he’s a former player masquerading as a coach. Jimbo Fisher will cheat and is cheating. He can’t win by coaching ability alone. The truth hurts -
Lmao!! Alabama was the top NIL school last yr now Nicky mad A&M passed him up 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Saban you have been paying these players and their families under various non-profits, boosters, and other avenues for years and now you are pissed because things are more competitive for you now.
Said without any evidence for decades.. if that were true, you would have easily told the NCAA but you haven't because it hasn't happened.
Exactly. That’s what it’s all about
Proof?
Welp this is gonna be on the news cycle tomorrow 😂
500 % Agreed 😂
lol yup! 😂
Yeah you called it but they leaving out the first part that he said
@@4forty8bucks they also leaving out that while saying this he's asking the boosters to put up more money to keep up lol

Thats exactly what I heard smh
Exactly!!!
Did you listen to anything he actually said? He said NIL is a good thing and encouraged his players to get agents when it came out. The only thing he griped about is how programs are literally buying recruits by signing them to fake NIL contracts.
Lol 😂
Who cares how they get paid, pre nfl who cares

We don't know. Obviously you have the proof so let's see it.

Every sports writer in America has commented on it. He told you during his comments it's all over the news.
Jimbo knows Saban dirty lil secrets as well.
“College is not where you come to make money” Lmao what’s his salary again?
Players aren’t dumb, they see sold out stadiums and TV ratings
Word.
Last time I checked he's not in college.. What terrible comment LMAO
@@thebeastmode4 Last time I checked- he’s on a college institution’s payroll. Apparently college isn’t a bad place to make money these days.
College is not where you come to make money,it's where you learn how make the money work for you..Those stadiums,tv ratings, are there to drive you,inspire you...What happens when most 18-20 year Olds come across money?? They blow it,and they become extremely cocky and lose their drive...you learn how to manage life and money while attending college,and then when you get the big pay day,you are better suited to make the right moves with your money.Many people, will now not make it to the NFL, simply because it'll be extremely hard to keep producing at that high level and then those players will find it unfair that they spent their money and also didn't make the NFL cut (because people don't take responsibility for their own actions much anymore)but if done right, you may be bettrr prepared, because you had money to learn with...but its by extreme technicalities.I mean while those players that didn't make the money,busted their ass those years and now will be NFL caliber players,and thus make the bigger payday and most likely learned how to make their money work for them,rather than work for the money...Im almost sure that this is all in favor of the NFL making more money and not having to pay players as much as they do now...because the money has already started coming in..so the reward will be less and it'll benefit the NFL...Nothing in this world comes to us,unless it is making someone higher up more money or they are gaining something in general.🤷🏻 guess we will see 👀.
I could be wrong and I'm not saying I am righ,t but this is my opinion and that does not make it the right answer...but I'd probably bet on myself here.lol
@@MrThejboe3oh5 You’re definitely wrong, but I appreciate your opinion lmao.
I just wonder if Honest Abe Saban can explain how Tua T and his whole family was moved from Hawaii to Tuscaloosa a top teir QB and his brother,, from Hawaii to Tuscaloosa a family living week to week in Hawaii up and moved to a nice home in Alabama cars, living money.. can you explain this miraculous miracle ole Abe..
Nick was just rallying his boosters to “pony up” more money for NiL, because the 2 Texas teams have the largest alumni and wealthiest, Saban is seeing the writing on the wall, Alabama doesn’t have the large financial resources Longhorn and Aggies do. That’s just the facts.
Espn 300 2022 recruiting ranking 1. Tamu
2. Bama

Youre right. But Saban has a bank to pull from owned by Bear Bryant Jr. Not two mention the dealership or dealerships owned by Nick Saban. I wonder if one is a Dodge dealership? Just wondering.
@Dr. Reviews But those two Texas teams don't know how to develop players like Nick Saban. Doesn't matter how good these kids are in high school and how much a college pays them. If the coaches can't develop them then the team will still never get a NC. No I'm not a Bama fan.

@@shlidgn90 it's definitely better than that

Good one !
Saban certainly knows a lot about collectives… either he was given a presentation by his university on them, or maybe he has dabble a little 🤣
he actually said they have a collective also
He's super smart!
@@scottking2454 I agree, thats why he is trying to get NIL regulations because players now have more options on the table.. bad for business hahaha
Saban’s intelligent. Unlike you, he doesn’t waltz through life not understanding stuff. Smart people know how things work. It’s pretty simple.
@@dillonkayser4215 Thank you!! You get it. So many in the comments need to catch up.
He’s been dropping 60-100k bags under the table the bags are now 400-500k I wonder why he’s worried. As far as equal he’s been paying players away from other teams
LMFAO ! Cause it's true !
U have no proof. A&M and JSU obviously are paying
@@blazeroosterYT there’s pictures up and down the internet with top Bama players showing off their new whips. Oh and with Saban acting like he’s never dropped a bag Plenty more players recruited by him will be spilling all the tea. Eric Berry said he was offered 215k Nick is the OG of NIL. Let’s keep it 💯 even diehard Bama fans know and have heard. Worst kept secret in College sports was Bama paying not all but certain can’t miss TOP TIER recruits were paid.
@@glennveneracion4844 he’s worried because 1 or 2 million isn’t going to get him a top class anymore. Free game! YW
@@danilocedano895 precisely, he doesn't have any advantage now.
Lmao. You know damn well A&M probably stole some recruits from Bama so now he’s crying. What a joke.
Be ready for that ass whoopin this year
true😂
@@Breadwinner3690 - if you listen to Jimbo’s response. He is beyond pissed. He is seething with anger and held back no punches towards Saban.
Jimbo made it very clear they are not friends anymore and publicly announced that Saban was calling him. But Jimbo stated outright that he will not take any of Saban’s calls. Not only was he critical of Saban’s methods and recruiting tactics, he called Nick a Narcissist.
It’s heated and Both sides are bringing gasoline to this year’s fire. It’s personal and means everything. A perfect storm has been created and we have a new rivalry.
@@tamuman93 Bama Fan here glad to have Texas A&M in the SEC. A&M been competing with Bama before Jimbo but we both know Jimbo is not that guy Saban has won through recruiting and a great system. Saban has lost players and coaches every year and still stayed on top. Saban doesn’t care if jimbo is his friend or not he’s not that type. Gonna be a fun game to watch as a Bama fan I think Saban will definitely make a statement and show Jimbo he’s still daddy.
@@Breadwinner3690 - I mostly agree brother. No doubt that the team that comes up short is going to be pissed and come back the next year with more vengeance and vigor. It is going to be a physical game and Bama definitely has the advantage. It is going to be fun to watch.
But either way, fans nationwide that hate Bama and A&M are going to be watching this one.
Yet he "ask" boosters to "sponsor" players or whatever you want to call it......you can't make this ish up! 😂
Any link to the article coach is referring to ?
Stop crying Saban this has been going on for years and you have done this. Now that athletes don't want to come to your school it a problem
Look at how much fun Deion and his guys are having with their program. That’s why he went, & if prime helped him not worry about feeding his family then be happy a BLACK MAN HAS THIS TYPE OF POWER. And our kids not just got to all white school because it looks good on his nfl resume.
Basically I can’t compete when the playing field is actually equal - Saban
Basically we don’t want to pay dumb kids from the ghetto millions when they may not even see the field here
😂😂😂😂😂😂
It isn’t equal though… what is equal about the top college football programs buying up all the best recruits? Doesn’t sound equal to me.
As an impartial observer who doesn't care about Alabama or the SEC, where is he wrong???
Total hypocrisy ! Double standard, double talk. At least you don't have to pay your players under the table anymore St. Nick ! Now it's on the table but you just gotta shell out more of it.
Exactly right. That’s why at the 3:50 mark he’s calling on boosters to update their payment system. 😂😂
The problem with saying a organization “bought every player” will now require you to prove it or you will be considered a liar. I’m not talking about everyone else, I’m talking about Texas A&M. I understand Alabama lost to them, but I HIGHLY doubt they bought every player if any.
Yeah everyone knows Texas and California are richer stayers so they are probably just getting them bigger sponsors
I agree. Nick is showing who he really is and he's a cry baby narcissist.
its already establicshed they bought the players, through the advertising collective. Saban never said anything bad about it, just what it was they did. And there is nothing anyone can do about it except start their own collective. I think maybe this will sort itself out anyway, based on the fact that there are some five star recruits that dont pan out, but you have already paid them with the advertising money, so it dont matter much to the player cause they already got the money.
@@gamingdreams2142 Its true, anyone that knows what's happening knows it happened. Your ignorance isn't his narcissism.
If any ? Yeah right
I’m really looking forward to October 8 2022 when Bama and Texas A&M play each other.
That aged well......
Has anyone read the Nil valuations for Crimson Tide? Who bought who????

@@jacobtherobertson On3
Kiffin was pilloried when he said this a few months ago. It was true then and it's still true now! But Bama is in no place to complain about buying players. They give as good as they get and they always have. When Ole Miss beat them two years in a row it was Saban who pushed for the unprecedented 5 year body cavity search and outrageous punishments at Ole Miss for doing what Bama had been doing for years but only a hundred times worse!
Stop crying about Bama being guilty too, i've been hearing this for 20 years. In the past, Bama went through a period where they were super dirty, and, they got caught for that. Saban is trying to run the program the right way and you have coaches like Jimbob Flasher who suck as a coach, but, have boosters with deep pockets that are willing to win AT ALL COSTS. That fool at TEXA$ A$M will ruin college sports if someone doesn't put them in check. What is Alabama doing NOW that isn't in line with what you feel is right? Or, since you're so sure, what is Alabama doing now that is against the rules? I'll hang up and listen...
Please show proof of Bama buying players. I've been trying to show my friend for years.
@@heathb.7117 Players are coming forward admitting it. One 5⭐️ said bama offered him 6 figures.
@@phillupondz who ?
@@orangy8549 Travis Johnson (ex-FSU star) said Bama offered him 6 figures during high school recruitment
Lol well I guess there won’t be anymore Aflac commercials with Coach Saban and Coach Prime
Shit, you think Deion is going to turn down that exposure?
He'll shoot a commercial tomorrow. He might be a little mad but he ain't stupid.
Equal 🤣🤣🤣 tell that to the D1 school I went to that had to share 1 facilities with every sports team. Saban is just ignorant that Alabama has been able to build and offer way more services to entice players and now with NIL it does make the playing field more equal and players are choosing.
When old people stop caring about what you think they’ll tell you everything they really think.
This man is about to retire I’ve seen this kind of talk before.
I sure hope so, tired of his hypocrisy.
Interesting comment. Very insightful
I actually agree.. he has never put his peers out there like that.
@Stephen Abootman Correction: "Tired of seeing pay his way to National Championships with a roster full of 1st Round Draft Picks, while most teams gets screwed over because they are recruiting honestly, without bribery. Oh, and then when he accuses other coaches of doing what he is actually doing." I think that's what they meant.
@Stephen Abootman So you admit he bribes players then? And most schools don't bribe as much as Saban. As an SDSU fan, I doubt there is much bribery going on.
NICK SABAN MAKES 10 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR...LET THAT SINK IN
He makes the university 100 times that. Think he’s worth it.
So you shouldn't make a decision on where you go to school, by how much money you'll make......hmmm, sounds like quite a lot of coaches didn't get that memo
listen to him. it’s a warning. I went from a hater of Nick Saban to have absolute respect for him. he’s telling you, if this is the game you want to play, he can beat you at. people thought the transfer portal would be the end of Bama, that it would destroy his depth. but all it did was make the #1s on your roster ripe for him to take as well (Jameson Williams last year, Burton, Stokes this year).
but he’s warning you, that the players that attend your school will only be in it for the money, and it’ll make disjointed rosters and feuding in locker rooms. the guys that actually want to win, are willing to take a little less in college to make more in the NFL are what’s going to keep Saban on top. be careful what you wish for.
100%
@David Irish they had good things to say cause they well paid, what kid from the hood drops 60K on a scat pack?
@David Irish I stay in Tuscaloosa I know what’s going on, I know players that play. The gossip just don’t leave the city bud. They not gone brag about Saban buying a hellcat just to mess around, tbh we the people in Tuscaloosa don’t give a flip we enjoy the ships.
@David Irish if you the BEST couch who cares , prove it in the field. IF SCHOOLS INVEST MILLIONS AND THEIR PLAYER IS A BUST THATS LOST MONEY ON THEM.
Let me translate. Nick Saban "Only I should be able to make millions of dollars off of college sports and players should only be able to get a scholarship. Please make it illegal to pay players." How about we pay coaches in scholarships instead of millions of dollars?
I agree.
Equal scholarships?? That is rich coming from the coach who oversigns by 3-5 players every year knowing they can leave 3-5 players high and dry every year.
The NCAA rules on NIL are essentially the same as Texas state law. So by saying A&M bought every player, he is accusing A&M of violating Texas state law regrding NIL. If he actually has evidence of this, he can file charges with the Texas Attorney General. Otherwise he needs to STFU.
Facts.
Which of course he doesn’t lol
No he can't. He's not a tx resident he doesn't have standing. But he does have standing as the biggest voice in CFB so he's probably not gonna stfu. But if he does that means he has gone into awright if that's what y'all want mode and you better be a little scared.
@@brianroyster7510 If he can't file the charges, I'm sure he can find someone in Texas who would carry that ball for him. But he won't. And the reason he knows so much about it and how it works is that he's probably already doing it and blowing smoke to cover his tracks. But that's fine. Alabama pockets are not as deep as Texas pockets. And that is what Saban is scared of.
@@jimhart4488 if anybody will it'll be the longhorn bitches.

Bama don’t spend money to buy player goofy
Where do some of you get these totally false TWILIGHT ZONE ideas from?
The issue is people like me have decoded t hell with College Football, Saban has always done it the right way, out work people, create a great chance for kids to get an education and to play pro ball. Texas AM and other dingbat schools can't compete that way.
Bama has more money for football purposess
@@MrRondonmon yea right
Saban would make a great politician because he's excellent at making his problems other people's problems. He was never a critic of the corruptive influence money has had on the NCAA while making seven million a year.
Why are those other two holding a microphone?? What is the point?!
I love saban but watching him sit there and tell everyone that bama didnt pay 1 single player with a straight face is ridiculously pathetic. Hes taking us as fools. To willingly offer up lies when nobody was asking questions is bold and narcissistic.
Before schools could pay players former players said they made more money playing at bama than riding the bench in the nfl
I’ve always hated Saban on the field as a buckeyes fan due to his success, but off the field he’s always understood his role as the leader of college football. Every-time something needs to be said, he’s said it. Salute to Saban for speaking up, because if we continue down this path college football might as well be a developmental league for the NFL.

And complaining about parity in college football is a compete joke. The playing field has never been even and never will be, it’s why some teams have their own ESPN network and others have to recruit from the bottom of the barrel. 😀 If you wanted parity, every NCAA division would have a draft like the NFL and have a redistribution of program funds. But yeah keep telling yourself that everyone else is salty and your team is still going to be number one (like it was in recruiting, right?)🤣
He’s scared schools with money can legally buy far more players than him now. Schools like texas, a&m, usc, miami etc.

Saban’s success developing five-stars compared to the rest of the country is proof. 247Sports examined every draft-eligible 247Sports Composite five-star from 2008 - Saban’s first full recruiting class, which frankly kicked off a new era of recruiting in college football - until the present in an attempt to measure the programs that develop those prospects best.
Alabama has signed 41 draft-eligible five-stars since 2008. Those players were picked in the first-round of the NFL Draft at a 48.8% clip. The other 285 five-stars who didn’t sign with Alabama? They were selected in the first-round at an 18.3% rate.
But I thought they were all ready. Guess the other programs need better nutrionist
Every player who gets a scholarship is "bought." Nobody knows about buying players more than Nick Saban, so I would trust his word on it.
Can you buy houses, cars ,guns, and drugs with scholarship money?
Thanks for mentioning Jackson State University. Saban don't get to upset after we began signing 5 star ⭐ recruits😁
Imagine comments coming from a coach who makes millions of the backs of his players and then wants to comment on compensation in college sports . Seems hypocritical
He makes millions because he develops these players into winning teams. Let these kids go to another college that doesn't have the same coaching and see how good they turn out or even if they go pro. He's no different than someone that owns their own business and trains their employees to do a good job. The employees will make more money if/when the company does. These players will go pro and make tons of money after he's through turning them into pro level players. No I'm not a Bama fan
Man it's around 300 top recruits each yr....don't get mad because we got 1....& u believe what u read in the paper...show the proof...show us how Tua whole Family moved from Hawaii to Alabama....
Alabama is one of the cheapest states to live in lmao
@@starlingfox1700 so your argument is that it didn’t cost them “too much” to move them to Alabama? Lol still cost money
@@JuStDontBrO absolutely right.
It doesn't cost as much as you'd think to rent a house. You also have to think that if they had savings and if tua had a college savings that could help them move. Yall act like moving isn't possible or that they were stupid poor
He big mad about that number 1 recruit that went to JSU.
U kno it....& he don't kno what the fk he's talking about....
…can’t wait to see this public interview between Nick and Prime.
Stetson Bennett chilling with his ring
Don't worry about Saban, he adapts!
We are starting to see to fall of Saban. No one stays on top fovever. He can't just get all the talent anymore.
@@hunterzolomon864 you wish!
@@hunterzolomon864 just like everyone said in 2010, 2012, 2015, and 2019 right?
Someone ask how much Burton and Ricks are making in NIL
after..
The fact that we have to have this conversation is sad. College athletics is officially ruined by these decisions to implement NIL and new transfer portal rules
it is not. Stop whining.
@@COLE_PRODUCTIONS The only one “whining” is you because you can’t take it when people like me or coach Saban spit facts
@@COLE_PRODUCTIONS it is you can see it happening already
@@DaniBoi_AU1113 you and Saban are just mad because you can't have a monopoly on talent no more. Go kick rocks
@@franquil85conn I’m not an Alabama fan, I’m an Auburn and college football fan. Recruiting should be about what school a recruit likes best and thinks feels like home, not who has the most money. You’re talking like Alabama can’t make a monopoly out of talent, well with these new rules whoever the most wealthiest team is WILL make a monopoly out of talent. You just don’t want it to be Alabama, but for some reason you’re okay with it being another team. The point is this is TERRIBLE for college football as a whole
My question is if the player doesn't play well or transfer is the money guaranteed?
This can go both ways: for the last 10 years or so Bama & UGA have been signing 5 to 7 5* recruits every year when their main competition Ohio ST, Clemson, Texas A&M, LSU & others were only signing 3 to 4 per year. NIL has somewhat leveled the playing field for Bama & UGA 's competition. Also it's well documented that Bama tried to encorouge LSU WR Kayshon Boutte with NIL money to enter the transfer portal
Saban's been buying players for a dozen years.
@@jeffsmith3350 yes he has & Jumbo just said it in his press conference on youtube. It starts at the 9:29 minute mark
Please, spare me with this "level playing field" bs. I'm tired of it already. NIL hasn't levelled the playing field, it is literally just ruining the game as we know it because people are shortsighted and want change for change's sake. The reason Bama got those classes is because they were winners, moreso than the other programs. Can't wait for a decade from now when all these people start asking what happened to college football and why it was ruined and all I have to tell them is to look in the mirror at the people who pushed for all this bs.
@@ImperialFistStan sorry to break it to you, boosters have been paying heavy for decades, Nick has been a big beneficiary. Don’t cry and bitch now you can’t get all the players you want. Smh
@@ImperialFistStan we found sabans burner
Great points. The landscape has changed
Now not only Alabama is allowed to pay.

@@blackout07blue sounds like somebody with a sore ass. How many times has the Tide left you crying on Saturday night since CNS took a minute and built the greatest college football program ever? Guess you could have been crying in bowl season.
Saban, Belichick and Coach K all have similar personalities. Not a coincidence that they’re the best and the most polarizing.
They are similar in that when they lose...they cry about it.
This is what it looks like when a narcissist stops being able to control everything, I’m sooooo sure he’s been above board on everything he does! Gtfoh
@ 2:50 he's admitting there's a "collective" and every player gets equal opportunity/shares of such.
He's doing what he's crying about but his method happens to be Saban Socialism.
Are you failing to reealize he is pointing out that it will be the downfall of college sports?
@@ReFlectionsYTHow the hell is NIL the downfall of college sports?
@@ReFlectionsYT Hold up, Saban is no altruist for the sake of college football as a whole.
He cried in 2012 about the no huddle/hurry up offense being a detriment to the sport hiding behind the fact it was only because it ruined the way HE wanted to play football.
Saban regards NIL as a threat to his dynasty now the advantages he had at Alabama are no longer baked-in and in the shadows.
Haha. Good catch! One minute later he’s begging alumns to update their collective models so they can keep up with the Jones’s and A&M’s. So when you put it all together, their way of paying players under the table is outdated and needs to be rebuilt. 😂😂
A serious case of the pot calling the kettle black!
@@snaeshaads8203 Super Teams, lockouts, etc. Basically everything you would see in the NFL. This is college, kids are supposed to be playing for a team while focusing on EDUCATION and now barely legal adults are allowed to choose the biggest bag. It's all really stupid. The team willing to spend the most, WILL WIN. Therefore, it no longer has the appeal that differentiates it from the NFL. Just more dramatic bullshit over money disputes when these guys will make more than most average working American. Do you see now?
Josh Pate is gonna blow this out the damn shoot!
You know it. Pate State don't pay for no players.
I've been wondering on what the over/under is for episodes this season where josh doesn't mention Nick Saban I think it's probably 1 and I'm still taking the over
@@wesleyowens4089 🤣 He loves some Saban segments. Anyone know who he pulls for off-air?
@@maxtew6521 lol he mentions he’s a Iowa state fan a lot I think he went to school there,
@@maxtew6521 - @Markel Hall could be right. But I think Josh has told us. He’s an Ohio State alum if I remember correctly. But he does a good job of being fair and neutral on topics dealing with them.
"The issue is coaching trying to create an advantage......I went out and said how can WE use this to our advantage." lolz
The players at UA have made over a billion dollars playing in the NFL. My question is how much money have these players made for the University of Ala?
I am a GA alum and fan. I wish we could make Saban Tsar of college football. He is so grounded and has his fingers on the pulse of college athletics.
College athletics in general.
But not until he's ready to hang up his whistle.
I know y'all want somebody else coaching the Tide.
You dog fans are sneaky.
@@brianroyster7510 can you guys give Mike Shula another shot?:) Really, I think Lane Kiffin is next man up. That is scary too.
@@timg5463 Shula is still pissed. I would probably be willing to give Lane a chance though. Good idea, I'll pass it along.
Still not getting that shit past me though. Them gd dogs are sneaky. Bite you on the ass when you not looking like an ice cube movie on a Friday.
@@brianroyster7510 i believe Bama has been doing the most ass biting but we finally caught you hurt. So dad gum hard to beat you guys. I knew deep down yall would tie the game at the end. I shed old man tears when we intercepted. I was a student the last time we won and made the trip to NO and saw that. I was lucky and was at UGA during the Herschel years. Great times.
@@timg5463 well I hope that we make CFB's collective head explode when Bama and UGA do it again. Of course we will have the more experienced team this year.
But I love hearing the wails and lamentations of the big 10 and those other conferences that nobody really pays attention to except when they are crying about the SEC.
When Saban got the LSU job he split Michigan State on a dime. Coaches have no problem recruiting a player and then leaving for another job if they think it’s a better opportunity. It is un-American to not allow players to do the same if they think it’s in their best interest. Saban needs to get off of his high horse. A total hypocrite
Exactly, and lied about taking the Alabama job while he was @ Miami Dolphins.
He’s right in some regard, college football should not be about using money (NIL) to recruit. But programs have been doing it for years anyways, it’s just easier now and Saban is upset his old recruit methods won’t win anymore. Alabama alumni are not as rich as a lot of schools.
It’s doesn’t matter what Saban saids because people are going to hate on it regardless. When a program has been on top for over decade haters are every where. The man is smart and knows what he’s doing and I agree with what he’s saying. People just like to run there mouths as usual about BAMA. 🙄
Bama is a one trick pony school.
Such an emotional, yet uninformed comment. But I give you credit for loyalty. Roll Tide Starla.
October 8th A&M vs Bama.. can’t wait!!😂
if Saban don't stop picking on Jimbo, Jimbo might let some shit slip. he's already kinda beat around the bush about "knowing things that went on at bama" pre NIL
Yeah, Jimbo probably would be better keeping his ignorant mouth shut. People already laugh at every word that comes out of his facehole...
If DUMBO knew anything he would have said it, or already reported it. He doesn't know a thing, thats why he didn't say a thing and Saban is right, and Dumbo is wrong.
@@truthbetold1855 - No brother. These guys all work in the same industry and conferences together. Professionalism is key, and You NEVER burn a bridge needlessly.
These guys are up one year and down another. They will always be contacting each other for jobs, contacts and references.
Saban crossed the line by publicly calling out Texas A&M & Jimbo. Jimbo is pissed and seething with Anger. Lawyers are about to get paid a lot and this will eventually be settled behind the scenes.
If Saban made his comments without singling out Dion Sanders and Jimbo this would have blown over.
It’s time to bury the hatchet (if that possible) or this is going to get ugly.
And he did! Watch his press conference from this morning. He gave Saban the pile driver!!!
Jumbo would have start singing. He didn’t deny anything he just attacked Saban. Jumbo was a Saban staff at lsu so he would get in trouble as well cuz they best friends grew up together n all.
Damn Nik , then why your former players flame out or stay in trouble when they leave BAMA ?
They are grown men he is not entitled to be around them n guide them. He taught them how to swim it’s on them to swim or drown
More successes than failures.
Feller on the left at 2:23 lol
If NIL remains unregulated/unenforced, it will ultimately lead to a less entertaining college football experience. That will lead to less NIL money being distributed. Players should definitely be able to make money off of their name image and likeness but if they don’t regulate against some of these issues it’s going to be less optimal for players in the long run than it could be.
College football sucks already. Same schools hogged all the top recruits paying them under the table Saban being one of the most guilty. Most games are ugly blowouts. By letting schools pay players we might actually get more parity in the sport.
It'll make sports more competitive because players are gonna wanna prove themselves so they can get paid
Agree... but they need to actually play and prove themselves! In other words.... no recruit or freshman should get NIL money since you haven't proved anything.
If the players are students, then the the coaches are teachers. So what's with these multi-million dollar contracts for the teachers? Is that what the other teachers are getting paid?
😂😂😂😂AMEN
I'm so glad that he FINALLY showed his true self for everyone to see not behind closed doors like ALABAMA has been doing for a decade.
Doing a whole lot of snitching here Saban smh…
They have also been winning championships for a decade while tamu hasn't won a chip in nearly 100 years lmao
How is he snitching? He just saying do it the right way so now y’all wanna trip??? Y’all move the goalpost it’s crazy
I personally know two recruits that are now in the NFL that Alabama tried to pay
Bama fans just take a moment, soak it in, you are the ONLY fanbase that gets to experience this. Its that time of the year again, Nick speaks out on something, everyone belittles and ignores him, then wins the championship using that very thing. This is the FOURTH time this has happened, we been here before!
Yeah, he'll obviously buy next year's class just like he went to the no huddle. He should run for pres with this hypocrisy
This isn’t the rat poison comment, this involves money being ponies up against schools like Tex and TAMU who have endless wealth at their disposal. Nick knows this is gonna be a problem in recruiting. Top 3 2022 espn recruiting rankings
