  05/21/22 - QB *Bryce YoungJr/2023, Alabama

  Although Saban on Thursday backed off comments he made about Texas A&M's top-ranked 2022 recruiting class, the Alabama coach stood by the rest of what he said Wednesday night about how NIL is being used in recruiting in a way that is consistent with NCAA policy but inconsistent with the original intent of the relaxed rules. "We have players in our state that grew up wanting to come to Alabama that they won't commit to us unless we say we're going to give them what somebody else is going to give them," Saban said at an event previewing July's World Games in Birmingham. "Our job is not to buy you to come to school here." Saban instead proposed a model to the Associated Press last month, and ESPN again Thursday, that would provide each player with a set amount of NIL revenue -- between $20,000 and $25,000, he told ESPN -- and then players could earn more on their own on top of that.

"That way, nobody feels that one player is getting a bunch of money to come here and another player feels like he's not getting anything," Saban explained to ESPN. Saban has frequently compared the current model of college football, which includes relaxed transfer rules in addition to NIL revenue, to free agency in professional sports -- but with no salary cap. "That's basically what we have, right?" he said Thursday to ESPN. "There's no professional league that has that circumstance because none of them are stupid enough to have it, and that's what we have. "The hard thing is there are no guardrails on this road. You can do whatever the hell you want, and in the end, most of this is not good for the players." - Birmingham News
