Saban and NIL (2 Viewers)

[Ripping Lips]

I guess Saban is rejecting kids who are seeking ridiculous amount for NIL to include one player asked for his girlfriend to get free tuition into law school.

Alabama's Nick Saban rejected 2 players who were searching for $1.3 million combined in NIL money: report

The Alabama Crimson Tide football team lost a top recruit and a starter due to hefty requests for NIL money, head coach Nick Saban reportedly said.

I didn't think coaches were supposed to be involved in NIL discussions. 🤔

Good for Saban. Sucks for that guy’s girlfriend; gotta do it the old fashioned way of getting into law school.

Good for him. Get this whack world back under control.

Who knows, but maybe the kids are coming up to him and demanding that kind of money vice talking to the NIL people or Saban tell his NIL people who deserves $$$ or who doesn't, similar to what Scotty did with ABM. I did read a story about the 5 star OL who flipped from Cockeye to Alabama last month say he was actually offered less NIL at Bama vice Cockeye, but felt that Bama was better for developing OL than Cockeye.

I mean you know that's going on at every school. Coaches telling the NIL companies who they want. Whether they listen or not is still going to be up to the NIL company.

People thought boosters had power before NIL....

I’m pretty sure they are listening to Nick. I saw Bama is even building their own NIL center with Learfield. I’m sure Saban thinks NIL is a pain in the ass but he is adapting well.

Saban is the GOAT. The guy hates NIL and pretty much says fuck it I’ll figure this out and be the best at it too.

Also a great example of why just giving dudes money to come can't be your team building plan

And any other Power 5 coach. You’re definitely right

Miami is pretty similar. There is definitely a fine line.
