The vast changes that college football and other college sports have experienced over the last 12 months are unsustainable, according to Nick Saban.
The Alabama coach told the Associated Press this week that the lack of rules surrounding the ways that athletes can now make money via endorsements have created a situation “where you can basically buy players.” After decades of being unable to use their own image rights to make money while playing college sports, NCAA athletes are now able to sign endorsement deals. That, Saban said, has led to more players transferring to see if they can make more money via NIL deals elsewhere.
