Steve Berman fired back at reported talks between Nick Saban and Donald Trump about a possible executive order aimed at NIL.
Berman is the co-founder of the Hagens Berman law firm, who is representing a class of hundreds of thousands of current and former college athletes in a pending ‘historic $2.78 billion settlement with the NCAA.’
The law firm said interreference from Saban and Trump at this point is ‘unmerited and unhelpful.’
“While he was a coach, Saban initially opposed NIL payments to athletes, pushing to add restrictions and red-tape through national legislation to add ‘some sort of control,'” Berman said in a press release.
