Nick Saban brings up the current Clemson-Ole Miss tampering situation.
โWe have nothing to control tampering. You know, Clemson had a player that was on campus for a whole week, and they (Ole Miss) come and got him off the campus and took him someplace elseโ
Top 5 most expensive college baseball teams in 2026:
1) Tennessee $13 mil - 0-2 regionalsโ
(2) LSU $10 mil - missed tourneyโ
(3) Ole Miss $10 mil - won regionalโ
(4) Arkansas $9 mil - 2-2 regionalsโ
(5) Texas A&M $9 mil - 2-2 regionalsโ
Tough day for the โNILโ Crowd
Nick Saban believes if thereโs not any regulations put on NIL and collectives soon, Olympic sports in all NCAA schools will be shut down solely in favor of paying football and basketball.
Power schools are now spending $30+ million annually on rosters.

Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua responding to a question from Sen. Cruz about what happens if Congress does nothing:
"If you continue to have all your resources pulled into football with escalating roster fees and not knowing where that ends, I believe the inevitable outcome is there's going to be a small handful of schools that will differentiate themselves from others and play football at a super league-level.
"I don't think it's good for college football to be a mini-NFL. That's not the spirit of college football. That's not what college football is about."
Nick Saban has issued a warning to college sports about the current NIL landscape while testifying for the โProtect College Sports Actโ in front of the Senate Commerce Committee.
The Big Ten and SEC have publicly come out against the act as they want to preserve their larger slice of the pie, even if the current pie is significantly smaller than it could be if all of CFB worked together. The Big 12 is the first conference to fully sign on.
Saban: โItโs become an arms race, who spends the most has got the best chance to win. But I think itโs a race to the bottom because if you donโt spend to win, you lose your fan base and you donโt have any revenue.โ
Itโs telling to see Nick Saban take a position against his former conference. What do you think about this? Are the SEC and B10 ruining college sports?

Nick Saban, discussing collectives, outlines what Alabama was working with
Says he had $2.7 million in his first year of NIL, then $7 million, and then $10 million.
After he retired, he said it jumped to $17 million, then $24 million.
โNow you have schools at $40 millionโ
