I think it's great. Of course, Saban is lucky enough not to have to worry about replacing that potential star with another star, but it has to be that way. Kids are gonna ask. They don't have any idea of how much money that really is, but they're going to try anyway. Wouldn't you? I think Saban just earned some respect points in my book. Hope more coaches follow suit. |

I think the NIL system is screwed up right now, but people keep saying supposedly coaching staffs have nothing to do with NIL and that bargaining is supposedly between the players and their collectives or other "business interests". Once a coach sets a player's worth, they're involved. |

He should be deciding on who is on the team based on player fit. This article makes it look like he seems to be directly involved in how much players are paid. I have no issues with him saying kids are being offered a stupid amount of money. I'd be thrilled if he said fans who are offering thids this kind of money are idiots. It should have no influence on personnel decisions though. Then again, the author of this article could have it all wrong and Saban is really calling out fans willing to pay players he didn't even want, but I'm going on what was printed. |

I just don't see a way that a coach isn't at least indirectly involved in the NIL process. He knows who he wants on the team, who is the right fit. Etc...Otherwise the collective would be randomly offering money to recruits who the coach may not have at the top of his list,

Once a coach sets a player's worth, they're involved. The article also says that they asked for the money "from the school." Whatever that means exactly. But I could see how a coach could dismiss a player simply on the grounds that his ego is so huge that he thinks he deserves that kind of money before he even steps on the field. How will the kid react when he finds out that coach has put him on the second or third string? I think it must be a hard job to take 5 star players and break their ego down to where they accept their role on the team. |

Etc...Otherwise the collective would be randomly offering money to recruits who the coach may not have at the top of his list, I would assume a coach should be able to say there can be NIL possibilities and we have collectives that we can point players towards, but all negotiations are strictly between the player and collective or other outside entities. In my mind that's about as far as it should go. At some point there are going to be issues... "broken aggrements" betweenplayers and collectives, player tax issues, etc. that schools and coaching staff should not be involved with. As it is we don't know what fallout may occur down in Florida from the recent QB recruit NIL issue. It'll be interesting to see how this all sorts out, might take a few years and several rules additions or changes. |
