I don't look at it that way. Reminds me of how he criticized the hurry-up offense, he knows it can be used to beat him so he truly doesn't like it.

Yup he really feared it and got beat by it so many times… Saban has adapted so well its insane… this is just a warning shot by Saban, don’t think in any way shape or form this is Dabo “I’ll quit if the players are paid”.

I agree. Had Texas A&M not done what they did, Saban wouldn’t feel threatened. It reminds me of some of Calipari’s comments back when Coach K started beating him at his own game. Oh, now you’re concerned?

Hell, you know Texas A&M bought their #1 2022 recruiting class with NIL money. Other schools are doing it too and at some schools the boosters are even (publicly) bragging about it, see a few examples of news articles:

‘The 15 Fund’ launched to facilitate NIL opportunities with UK athletes

$10 million fund set up to lure athletes to University of Texas

Dan Lambert plans $500-a-month endorsement deal for every Miami Hurricanes football player on scholarship

If you want to compete at the elite level (i.e. play in January) in college football, (like it or not) you better "get with the program".

Anyone that thinks that Boosters will pony up $25-$30 million a year is a fool. Texas A&M did it this year supposedly. Say they do it three more years and it’s still 8-4 every year. Boosters stop spending it. Period. They may love their school but they didn’t get rich by being stupid.

Saban and Alabama's boosters are already playing the "NIL game" too. Just last summer while speaking at the Texas High School Coaches Association Saban bragged on how much money Bryce Young was getting:

Alabama head coach Nick Saban, speaking at the Texas High School Coaches Association's annual convention on July 20, said that Young is nearing $1 million in NIL compensation.

"Our quarterback already has approached ungodly numbers," Saban said. "I’m not going to say what they are. He hasn’t even played yet. He hasn’t been a starter. If I told you what he’s … it’s almost 7-figures. And it’s like the guy hasn’t even played yet. That’s because of our program."

That's right. The Texas A&M boosters aren't going to continue to throw money at the football team if they aren't getting the results that they want/expect. The pressure in now on Jimbo to get those results.

Yeah, that ban on direct inducements to commit disappeared real fast. Saban is right.
