Between NIL and the current transfer rules (there are no rules), college football is losing much of its luster. You can feel the enthusiasm waning. It's like the air slowly escaping a balloon. NIL heavy teams get recruits, those who aren't don't. Players come and go to/from programs like the breeze. No more representing the university you play for. You ONLY play for yourself and the NIL deal you can make. Now, the regional aspect of CFB, which was perhaps the only true regional sport in the country, has been taken away. College football as we knew it is gone. What a shame.
Excellent comment Kevin! All of those foundational and traditional elements being completely uprooted by these rapid changes. And, many of these changes are mostly being dictated by money and its pursuit. There's a reason that the "pursuit of money" has, for centuries, been considered a destructive vice with corrupting consequences for individuals, groups, institutions, and societies.
Just the mad scramble by the AD's and college presidents these past couple of years under "conference realignment," which is, in reality, financial consolidation and the centralization of power, shows just how subservient these administrative heads are to these insane changes.
Nobody stepped forward to stick their necks out and say, "Hold on- no!" or "Stop! We can't be doing this without lengthy planning and discussions!" Everything was basically "rubber-stamped" and ok'd because the financial consequences of not doing so were too extreme.
To your final point; years from now we will hear coaches, AD's, pundits, etc. saying things along the lines of, "Nobody thought this out, and the game has suffered because of it!" or "There should have been a better approach back then when these changes were made!" But, by then it'll be too late.
I can easily see the day, years down-the-road, where college football is a dying sport and nothing but a shell of its former greatness because, it was corrupted from within by the rabid pursuit of Mammon by its players, coaches, TV executives, and administrators!
@@edkiely2712 Thanks for the reply and of course we agree completely. Once we took the amateur status out of college athletics, we relegated it into a money grab with no player allegiances to anyone or anything other than one's own pocketbook. I realize some may think this is the rantings of an old codger (I'm not THAT old..LOL), but even the NFL has a structure that allows for "some" continuity and an equal playing field. College football, in its current state, has none of that.
@@kevinfessler6831 Precisely! You and I need to be the one's on-the-air to counterbalance and even negate all the go-along to get-along analysts with their "back scratching" talking-points on sites like ESPN, that will never go "too far" in their discussions of how "the sausage is made" because these television networks are in on the whole financial operation.
Hell, Jeff Van Gundy was obviously removed on ABC/ESPN as an analyst because he was criticizing details, like the officials and the skewed rules to allow excessive point-production, that the NBA league office didn't want cultivated publicly.
Same with college football! Look how they are already moving forward with the 14-team playoff format, before the 12-team format has even been implemented. It's the whole mindset behind, anytime there's a "cash-cow gravy-train," it mobilizes countless parasites, both directly and indirectly, who want to attach themselves somehow in order to be able to profit. Expand to 14-team to "enlarge the pie" to create more revenue, yada yada yada...
What's good for the sport is almost secondary! I think, in part, that's why the whole "CTE issue/agenda" was created, or as some believe- manufacturered! To create a financial justification for an army of attorney's to go after the NFL for "foreknowledge" about concussions. But, they needed to back it with "scientific claims" hence, CTE was cunningly created and given plausibility by neurologists who were incentivized to go along. The NFL, of course, has since implemented rules that hv ruined the sport in many fans eyes, with such rules like "targeting," "launching," or the changes to onside kick and kickoff that hv made the sport almost unwatchable at times.
I know I've digressed with the comparisons and, the CTE is an oversimplification but, it shows how, when money and profit becomes the primary focus, a sport can slowly be eroded by drastic "rule changes" or "player empowerment." The NBA All-Star gm was a disaster last month because, the NBA players are somewhat "running the asylum" now, are pampered and coddled, and could care less.
Sorry for the lengthy rant. We could probably discuss this back-and-forth for hours but, I'm sure you hv a life! Thx!
I have no idea how to add controls now in its present state. It will never be the same as before. That is both real good and real bad
Rumors are Jalen Milroe & his agent came in asking for big time money and guarantees. Saben isn’t gonna beg anyone to play for him. I understand why he walked away.
He’s not gonna play this weird game of “coach better not yell at me or I’m gonna be transferring” or “I’m gonna need to get paid more…”
I guess you could say Saban was a bit of a naysayer
Milrod asking for money. That's Theivery.
False. He admitted it partly had to do with Michigan beating him and the way his players handled losing with no class.
@@MooseGoBlue😂rightttttt
Saban and Dabo were several years ahead in NIL. It was ok when he was handing out cars to recruits and he was making 10 Mil a year but when players need a cut? Sorry but I don't feel sorry!
NIL should only be money a player can make from endorsements, appearances, merchandise sales, etc... no money coming from the football programs. The portal should allow a player to transfer only once in his college career without sitting out a season. If he chooses to transfer a second time then the player must sit out a year.
That’s completely ridiculous. So other students can get paid at a university, but not athletes?
@@dr.markevers8331Reading comprehension much? 😒
@@dr.markevers8331 You’re not to intelligent are you?
Agree 1000%. These kids are screwing themselves in the long run by transferring every year. It won't prepare them for contractual obligations at the pro level either. Your solution seems a good middle ground.
@@DisabusingTheLeft well put. NIL needs some regulation before the proverbial 💩 hits the fan.. and I absolutely agree that today's so-called and highly subjective '5 star recruits' are 'finessing' themselves out of optimum physical development and professional preparation. Just look at that 2022 aTm class that was supposedly "the best class ever assembled on paper". I don't think there's even 1 5 star left on the Aggie roster from Jimbo's class of 8/9 in that particular haul.
At least Alabama can always claim that before the degradation of college football and the “pay for play”, we had the 2 GOATS of all college coaches ever.
Sad how college football has gone downhill.
You had 1 GOAT. Bear Bryant's tenure was full of ridiculously claimed natties amidst other considerations.. Example: He retired 0-4 Vs Notre Dame
Saban was 0-8 against AU teams that finished with 9 wins which is way worst to AL fans than being 0-4 against ND.
If you believe those "goats" weren't paying players long before NIL came along........................
@@mas5867 so, we're just saying anything these days, are we? How many legitimate titles did Bear have again? I'll wait
@@mas5867 7 national titles in a 15, 16 year span is bananas. There's no statistic you can pull out of your rear-end to deny that Saint Nick is the GOAT and it's not even close for that matter.
Funny how my interests change. I held NBA season tickets for 5 years. Relinquished em when Jerry Sloan was done. Took a big step back from the NFL when the kneeling became a thing. College football has been my final interest in sports. I'm not an Alabama guy, but I have been impressed with Coach Saban and his willingness to bring in "cast off " coaches, mentor them, restore their credibility and send them on their way to success. Outstanding leadership. I don't envision continuing allegiance to college football. The Big Media influence is souring my sports experience.
You had no issues, I guess, for all these years that they paid the kids peanuts under the table only to make millions off their backs, only to return afterwards and penalize them for doing so. Coaches leaving for new opportunities when they got ready, but the kid had to sit out a year if he transferred to be eligible. Nick sure had no problems then, and neither did you. Those universities, the NCAA, and all of you who cosigned the modified slavery of the archaic college football system are complicit in the molestation of college athletes bodies and their families. Glad he is gone, because the game has changed for the better, and it can only do that if the poison is cut out.
17-18 year old kids with no life experience no special skills other than they can catch or throw a ball, are so entitled to think they deserve millions of dollars, a free education, and the opportunity to continue throwing a ball for the next 10 years for millions more. This is entitlement at its fullest !
Not just education...Housing, Special nutrition, coaching, strength and conditioning. All for free
Y’all sound jealous about those two left,uncoordinated ,non athleticfeet 😂😂. You both should’ve made better choices when you were younger 😂😂😂
It’s interesting that Chip Kelly said screw it and just went to OSU as a coordinator. It’s probably not a huge pay cut and the NIL stuff isn’t his direct problem anymore.
No, he said screw it because he was at a crappy 💩💩💩 college and can’t win. He can’t hang. I digress carry on with that stop 🛑 it. Will you give yourself .. a break if you don’t give us 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I believe DeBoer got 10 million to come to BAMA. A Tide fan myself, I've never been more excited for A-Day & this new season!! So much to be excited about with this newly assembled staff. I've got no problem going into this new era of Alabama Football as the perpetual underdog. Bring it!! We got this. RTR4LIFE 💪🐘🔥
If you are Kalen Deboer from South Dakota, where do you want your family to be in this upcoming tumultuous time? A dying, liberal Godless Seattle, or a growing Tuscaloosa in the heart of conservatism and the Bible Belt? The decision was easy for a father with young daughters.
A big Amen sir.
There’s always one or two nimrods that’ll insert politics into ever subject. Take talks assrs to fox for your daily dose of racism 😂
Great stuff guys. I agree with all your points regarding Coach Saban, NIL, and the things that should be important. ROLL TIDE!!!
I once was a season ticket holder to Nascar prior to Bubba rope ,once was a avid NFL fan before the kneeling, a life long college football fan roll Tide I'll never buy another ticket nor waste my time supporting 18 yr old pampered millionaires. Like Saban I to in my small capacity am OUT ! "GONE FISHING " !
NIL above $200K should just go in pool and spread it to the team. No one is poor. No one is making 10x what the assistant coach they don’t feel like listening to that day.
College football has always paid players.
I am trying to finance my son’s college education I sure wish he was a good enough athlete to be “exploited” and get a free education. Getting a free college education IS getting paid.
Along with the reasons Nick Saban gave. There are other reasons that deals with the NIL and the portal he did not dive deep into. Now Alabama and other colleges are having to re-recruit players, sometimes on a monthly basis. Just because the players agents get higher offers from other colleges. No coach wants to deal with that. A head coach and the staff already spent a lot of time and effort recruiting. Now recruiting has turned into a 24\7 365 job. At some point any coach has to weigh quality of personal life vs the job. It's one of the reasons you have head coaches stepping down to take lesser positions, or seeking to go into the NFL as assistants. Simply because they do not want to deal with the extra stress and headaches head coaches have to deal with now with the NIL, portal and players who are simply worried about how much money they are going to make now vs later in life. Either in the NFL or in the private sector with a college degree. I will say now the percentage of players receiving a college degree will go down drastically. Which only hurts them later in life.
Everyone said Saban was whining when he warned us all about NIL and the transfer portal.
Only morons said that
Mike Norvell probably stayed at FSU bc the NIL is in a better state than at Bama. I think there wasn't enough job security for Norvell at Bama either. With NIL still underdeveloped at Bama and the fan base being so demanding, staying @FSU where you know you can secure a raise and extras in a new contract, at a place where you've already won over the fans, Boosters, AD, and President, and where you have already laid all the ground work, seems like the better option, especially with the potential conference change on the horizon. I guess we'll never really know though.
Good for Saban for not allowing the tail to wag the dog. The transfer portal will be the undoing of college football and basketball. Student athletes need to be held accountable for their decisions. Same with the coaches that recruited them. What happened to commitment and loyalty?
BTW I didn't know that the coaches could pay the NIL money.
The paying to college players killed college football. It just doesn’t know it’s dead yet. Saban knows this and is leaving before it gets worse.
NIL and the portal ushered in a new era of entitlement. Some kids used to go to college to get away from their home environment. Now in some instances, the family and friends hound the crap out of them for money.
Too true! Plenty kids get shitty harmful advice from greedy family and friends. But no one wants to talk about it
You can lock assistants into contracts and not allow them to leave. Give me 3 years would be my request. After that you can take a promotion out of the program. If they wanted more money it would be ties to staying extra years.
Paying college players will result in an escalation of salaries and an increase of tuition costs for average students. College has been a football factory for years but this will destroy colleges as institutions of higher learning
The genie is out of the bottle
At Al and I would think most of the schools, the athletic dept is mostly independently from the school. Things like new buildings or enhancements can be joint efforts.
Fig this was reason assumed when retired. This was the main reason Saban in the NFL was so short and went back to college at first chance to bolt back.
Mr Calvin C saying Alabama hasn’t been dominant for a long time speaks about your level of understanding what is in front of you , however your team that you coached is the best, which team is that?
What ? You're wrong about Saban ! Saban Hired Sark and Kiffin both after they had horrible incidents and were at failing problems.Both were young and both had issues. That's where Sabans rehabilitation coaching program started. Then Kiffin got fired before the Natty Sark was an assistant under Kiffin then ended up Coaching against Clemson when Kiffin was let go. Then Sark ended up getting the Falcons job . Then Saban got NYG head coach Deball he wins a natty leaves back to NFL because of he hated college football. Then Sark was hired from Falcons after he was let go. So, yeah, I believe Saban went after Kiffin to learn hurry up concepts and spread type game. Then Sarks saved after being a drunk in USC (Both) and Washington!!! So not true bud..
He got to a point where NIL and transfer portal was changing the game. It’s all about the money now and that might be a good thing. College football is more popular than ever. We shall see if it continues under the current environment.
Saban cares more about the big picture for a player. He cares more about making more than just great players. He cares about making great MEN that is why this stuff probably bothers Saban more than most coaches. I am not a Bama fan. But I can appreciate not just what Saban done on the field. But giving his players much more than football.
The ego isn’t new, the rules are what’s new.

How many ways can he say Mike Norvell wanted job but wasn't offered...Good lord that was painfull to watch!
IKR??? 😂
How many times is this dude going to assume things based on zero factual evidence. He assumed Mike wasnt a serious choice. Wrong. Dude cant say "I dont know"@@J2415J
Saban mentioned the fact that a scholarship was a contract and that recruits wanted guaranteed playing time and NIL money it they would transfer a couple of days after he retired.
It was no secret.
Maybe we need two "leagues" of college football: athletes who happen to be students, and students who happen to be athletes.
It's coming
NIL is killing college sports.
For who?
Yeah, much better that everyone else involved make the money than the guys that put their personal health on the line.
@@dr.markevers8331guess all the likes disagree with you😅
For anyone watching it all the players care about is noney now
The SEC has been paying players for a long time. Now he's crying because everyone else gets to do it?
Saban the best, is gona be missed and he is right.
People think that NIL, transfer portal, coaches bolting, players bolting and greedy college presidents (yes them) and all the conference realignments are killing CFB. Its all true. It’s a shell of its former self. For me, a staunch CFB fan I am over it and the whole ball of deceit and greed. People will eventually turn away from this product. I am now more interested in the NFL.

How do you take what one person says. How many players did you interview?
NIL has made more parity in college football. It’s fantastic .
Nil and wide open transfer portal have ruined college football. Its just the nfl with worse players.
How? after the dust settles, how was football ruined for any given year. Everything levels out.
@mas5867 the great thing about college was it was an amateur sport. Yes, there were periodic under the table money bags, but for the most part it was young men trading there football talent for an education, and possibly improving enough for the NFL. Your team matter. The players who chose your school mattered. Every Saturday was important. Like I said above, now it is becoming a semi-pro league, which is the NFL with worst players. Through in the new tournament playoff system, and now every game during the regular season becomes less important.
@billybubba8344 the players will still care bec they know they are still being evaluated.
Now, I totally agree with your comment about the 12 team playoff ruining the importance of other games in a season. There are teams ranked around the top 10 that don't deserve to be in playoffs. Esp since on any given play, a better deserving team can lose a crucial player in one of the meaningless 1st playoff games. And then that deserving team's hopes are ruined and for what.
I gave up football in 2023 after TN's 2 ridiculous 4th down calls.
I was gonna watch through the end of the season, but that was enough for me.
@@mas5867 ask NASCAR if it leveled out
The biggest problem in college football right now is the NCAA, conferences and refs are controlling outcomes of games. Lets not pretend we dont see whats happening right in front of our faces.
When money is a college football player's main reason for playing, game corruption/bribery will become quite common.
I guess you work for free
You must be new to watching college football
3:54 bravo.
Why on earth would he stay with Washington? His team played the game of their life and Texas played the worst game of their life and it still took absolutely perfect passes to beat Texas. Then they got their asses handed to them by Michigan. Teams on the west coast cannot compete with the rest of college football on a weekly basis.
Sports and other companies are all about the short-term monetary gain rather than the long term, which is made very clear nowadays. Their are no more discussions about how this will affect the long-term monetary gains only about how to make the quickest buck right now. It's the "get in, make as much money as possible, and get out" mentality that's destroying sports (especially collegiate sports) and every major company right now that's tanking.
A lot of high end college athletes are essentially football or basketball or other sport majors Collegrs should be honest and design ‘degree’ programs in the specific sport. Under these conditions athletes should be treated like students in any other academic major. If a student in other majors could ran NIL type money they certainly would. No college guarantees a student a job in their chosen major. Athletes would run the same risks. I think we would all be better off to acknowledge that these kids are fegacto majors in their sports and build degree programs around that concept. I recognize there are problems and difficult irs in implementing this across the board but it should be discussed.
I don't think there's anything shocking about Saban's comments about why he retired.
I’m a GEORGIA FIRST AN SEC fan. He is right it’s all about Money .Hate NIL it’s killing CFB
Absolutely we are living in the time where college athletics that we know and love has died!!! In none of the conversations we are hearing is anyone talking about getting a degree!! The importance of an education!! It’s gone
How many docs are we going to get 10-20yr down the line about players life’s being ruined b/c they had too much too early. Money will just bring out their true selfs…about to see some car crashes; imagine Manziel in college now.
"Student" athletes on scholarships or receiving any compensation from the university should be required to achieve their degree or pay back all the money that was spent on them while at the university. Or maybe the universities should be requiring a percentage of the players' future income as they helped to develop and make players professional player material...much like a spouse receives in a divorce for paying for and providing support so their spouse could go to school to achieve a better future career/salary.
That’s ridiculous. No other student at the university is required to repay scholarships or compensation they receive from the university if they don’t graduate. You do know that students work on every university campus and they get paid. Why can’t athletes that generate millions of dollars in revenue and publicity for their university?
those of us old school fans saw this comming at least 5 yrs. ago. we have gone from in my lifetime getting scholorship for education first (never hear that anymore) loyalty and love of school and teammates.. well you have to agree this stuff means nothing anymore. like so many things in todays world people are burning down there own houses. for greed. 18 and 19 yr olds now only look and how much and how fast when if they are good enough the money comes in nfl by 21 . now we have players in college making more then there coaches . we have nfl players making 25 million a year or more. im not saying this out of envy but the sport will not be here much longer and it allready is not reckognizable, it is a SHAME what is gone on and it is not coming back now. it really makes me sad. i am 69 retired actually on disability and i still loved following game now who ever your team is you will never know who is on it . sad sad days
It was Norvell #1
FSU has always done more with less resources. Mike knows what’s coming when FSU will be with common resources.
Saban acts like he’s the first person in his mid 70’s who didn’t like that an industry moved on without him. Saban thought he WAS bigger than the business of CFB. He isn’t. Saban has an ego and insecurities just like anybody else. He enjoyed driving around campus in his 6 figure cars.
I'd love to hear a source for the Norvell to Bama claim. That's not been floated from any Nole pundit. Too easy to make such assertions without the evidence.
They decided on Deboer because norvell sits when he pees. He’s in a class with Ryan Day and Lincoln Riley.
A lot of adults make decisions solely based on financial raises then tell kids to not worry about money. I understand we need guardrails and rules for it. Just very weird messaging the way it’s said
Wait until schools start making trades mid-season.
Free education, free great food and snacks, free medical, free housing at any University is not cheap and most students wish they had the perks atheltes have. No, we pay them and they are like any human, I'll go to wjho pays the most and then transfer if I don't like it.
Make them sign a contract like paid Professionals have to. You are paying them, they are Pros now.
Asking a lot for a 73 year old coach to have to deal with all this new crap.
I still think players should have to sit a year to transfer if they have not yet achieved their degree.
I agree
I just don't know how teams build culture and consistency with the revolving door of players transferring every year chasing money. I figured Saban would be done after last season. There will be more resignations to come under this new wild wild west of NIL and the transfer portal.
Prediction! NIL in college sports will destroy the games and the Colleges. I believe Black athletes will head the demise! It’s all about money now not about education. How many of these athletes even passed classes and or got a Degree is mind-boggling! My guess is 60-70% of players/athletes did not earn those degrees?
No…NIL contracts will go a long way to fix it. NIL will create more parity and a better experience for everyone. Most athletes do earn degrees and NIL will actually encourage players to stay in school 4 or 5 years. A player getting $500k a year might decide to stick around instead of heading to the NFL early. Maybe they should get 6 years of eligibility, so they can earn their degrees and maybe graduate ones. It is nearly impossible for football players to take a full load of classes, particularly in the fall.
It’s disgusting what college football is turning into. They have to figure out a way to control this
How dare the players want to make the most they can. cuz you know the coaches don't ever think of it that way. When something's making multiple millions of dollars off of your success you deserve a piece of the pie.
They get a free $100,000 dollar education, free food , housing and medical? Want more ?
UW offered KD as much as Alabama or real close to it
It’s not the NIL killing college football yea it is a nail in the coffin. But college football is dying because of the pampered, self important players. There is no team concept anymore among 70-80% of the players it’s all about me. I quit watching years ago, because of the BS that goes on in the games. Players dropping the ball at the one yard line because they are too busy strutting for the camera and watching their end zone celebration on the jumbo screen!! Players pulling away from teammates so the camera is only on them. From grade school up football has created a bunch of narcissistic athletes. They are coddled from the day they show any skill at the game and the further they go in the sport the worse it gets. That’s why IMO college football and the NFL are unwatchable.
All they had to do is designate the players as employees and pay them a fair wage. Instead they fought it. Now we have NIL and they have lost control. When change is inevitable and you choose to fight that change instead of helping craft change don't complain about the outcome.
Saban and Alabama - pure as the driven snow. Roll tide
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hardly but it doesn’t matter…the entire CFB scene is a colossal mess
@DanielC__ he was being facetious.
Umm.... sure buddy keep believing that.
The league has cheated for Saban for at least a decade, but NIL made it harder putting other teams on equal footing. He knew to save his legacy he had to quit soon.
He retired because of the kids keep asking “when am I starting and/or when am I getting paid”?
Players look at short-term not long term.
use your own brain instead of regurgitating what Saban said.. Saban made 10 million year with absolutely NO risk from an injury ending everything. Of course the players want money now.
@@mas5867and playing time. No more stocking 4&5 ⭐️ players.
Football players at that level are lucky if they have years in their craft. They should get paid. They are the ones risking their bodies (and minds) so you can be entertained on Saturdays for 4 hours. Pay them what they are worth!
Never thought it would happen but they've managed to ruin college football
Right now Nil has no rules same for the transfer portal which to me is dangerous for the athletes. Are the players signing contracts with these boosters or companies what guarantees do the players have. Remember these are really young players as for the portal this will happen. A player jumps from Bama to Texas for more Nil then arrives at Texas then finds out the sponsor backed out of the deal. What about boosters going after jr and high school players right now thats legal u got to have rules to protect the players and the universities. Everyone is afraid of lawsuits use my Bama to Texas example what if the player sues Texas for breaking agreement because booster decided to back out of the deal. Hopefully all this gets worked out in a few years.
Woke is destroying these kids minds. I agree with coach. They are just like entitled karens, which come from the woke idea.
So you can leave your players at any time but they can't make money they can make sense
The end of dynasties as we know them
Norvell is cry baby and the way his players acted speaks volumes.
NO ONE sat out when Bama was screwed out of the playoff in 2022. Instead of losing by 60, they destroyed the Big12 champ to prove they were screwed.
Just like Georgia beat the crap out of FSU. They had something to prove instead of whining
Mike was the choice. You assumed Mike wasn't a serious contender. You were wrong. You are now assuming again. It sounds so tough to admit, I understand. But you're just making stuff up at this point. Its okay to say " I dont know" instead of talking in absolutes. Since when is it hard to recruit at FSU? Logo recruits itself.
I think if there not passing their classes or even going to class then they should lose their scholarship and have to pay their own way with their NIL Money.
Bro… are you not listening to what he’s saying about Norvell?? 😂
Alabama didn't turn down norvell norvell turn down Alabama which is why he got a huge extension contract.

It’s all about the benjamibs
Saban is full of shit. Like anyone at those colleges care about the education of those young men? Those players care about money and playing to showcase their skills.
It’s a culture problem- everyone knows it, no one wants to admit it.
Its funny when Slick Nick could pay under the table and he could pigeon hold players everything was fine. Now players have leverage he's crying.
Whoever the guy is with the beard is obviously a Bama hater. The dude can not comprehend that Norvell was not the choice. Hello. He is not really intelligent from what I've gathered from watching this.
Why didn't he say what really happened, NIL leveled the playing field. No longer was Alabama guaranteed 4& 5* just because the school name was Alabama. Now they are gonna have to come out of pocket like everyone else just to compete. He was smart to jump ship before they became irrelevant.....
Why is reveals written in all caps? That's some click bait tabloid silliness tactics.
All nick said was BS he can't compete without having all the best players
