Alabama's Nick Saban Says Texas A&M 'Bought Every Player on Their Team'
It appears Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban might not be a fan of the NCAA's new name, image and likeness policy, which has affected the way college football programs recruit players.
While speaking with reporters Wednesday, Saban claimed the reason Texas A&M; finished first in recruiting last year was because the school "bought every player on their team" thanks to NIL.
Mike Rodak Saban: We were 2nd in recruiting last year. A&M was first. A&M bought every player on their team. Made a deal for name, image and likeness. We didn’t buy one player. But I don’t know if we’re going to be able to sustain that in the future because more and more people are doing it https://t.co/uwEcLQa2u4
