Former Alabama head coach Nick Saban, who was addressing to a group of US senators in Washington, D.C. on NIL issues, supported the idea of directly sharing earnings with college football players and other NCAA athletes.

Nick Saban Is Disappointed With College Football System, Gives A Solution

He recently acknowledged that after a playoff defeat to Michigan, players’ demands for more money didn’t sit well with him, and there’s little question NIL had a part in his departure.

The man lived for decades in one very stable milieu—the collegiate football world. A new, perhaps uncontrollable age has begun with the NIL and the transfer site.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) served as moderator for the conversation. ACC commissioner Jim Phillips, former boss of Nick Saban, Greg Byrne of Alabama athletics, and student-athletes Haley and Hanna Cavinder were among the other attendees. Haley intends to play collegiate basketball for TCU the following season.

After coaching Alabama to six national titles in 17 seasons, Nick Saban announced his resignation in January.

“If we had some sort of revenue sharing proposition that did not make student-athletes employees… I think that may be the long-term solution,” Saban said to the panel, led by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

“You could create a better quality of life for student-athletes, you could still emphasize development, you can still create brand and athletic development with a system like that and it would be equal in all institutions,” Saban added. “You couldn’t raise more money at one school to create a competitive advantage at another.”

On the NIL problem, there is undoubtedly room for dispute, but Saban is right when he says that the status quo is no longer relevant. The times we live in now are unlike anything that was conceivable even ten years ago.

Huge offers are reportedly being extended to players before they take a collegiate football play. Although it was never NIL’s intention, until significant adjustments are made, it will remain in place.
