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.
“Now you have schools at $40 million”
Nobody likes the current college football except the SEC commissioner, the Big 10 commissioner, top boosters and the starting players on the Big 10 and SEC rosters
Everyone else hates it including the fans, the ADs and every single coach except Curt Cignetti
Legendary former Alabama football coach Nick Saban issues a stark warning on the devastating trajectory of college sports under current NIL rules.
"It's become an arms race, who spends the most has got the best chance to win.”
“But I think it's a race to the bottom because if you don't spend to win, you lose your fan base and you don't have any revenue."
I stayed up for this and saw it live.
One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen in college baseball.
I don’t see us doing a War Pigs sing-a-long soon anytime at Baum Walker 😆
We knew in March this was the worst Arkansas baseball team in 15 years
Hoping DVH goes back to recruiting the top freshman and grooming them to be players. Those teams are our best teams
I am done with plug-and-play portal guys where you don’t know their names till mid April
I will not tolerate any Dave Van Horn slander. The only thing missing is the ring. Everyone knows this, including Dave. I believe there needs to be some changes this off-season but the Head Hog is still the man. You guys sound like a bunch of spoiled Kentucky fans wanting to get ride of a Hall of Fame coach. And look how that worked out for them. Nope, in DVH I trust. WPS!

@HitThatLineAR@colson_212 Yikes. Exactly what the fans do not want. We want players we know from the time they are freshmen until they are juniors and if we are lucky seniors
