Nick Saban: Current NIL setup 'creates a situation where you can basically buy players'

[Enikk]

How do you see the game changing next 5-10 years?? Will not as talented players who aren't getting paid get theirs with the rigg with legal books now. lol

I think it was better when we figured they were getting paid by boosters but was hush hush. I think the game won't be the same

Nick Saban: Current NIL setup 'creates a situation where you can basically buy players'

Saban said he isn't sure how the NCAA's current system is sustainable for college football.

You will get over it. Saban is worried about having to coach now.

This is going to lead to separation of teams to the "haves" and "have-nots". The schools with a program that has rich alum and donors willing to "invest" in their football/basketball programs will be able to buy the best players.

As you mentioned, this was already going on. It was just under the table. Now its legal so it will become more pronounced. You'll have most of the SEC and a few other select teams combine eventually to make super league (i.e. EPL). Everyone else will be in the next tier down).

Not sure if that is bad or good but its likely to happen.

Sounds like saban is worried about losing his monopoly.
