My THOUGHTS on what Nick Saban said!

Doc Nick specifically said that he’s for athletes being compensated through revenue sharing and legitimate NIL opportunities. What he’s opposed to is the collective-driven, pay-for-play model that’s developed, which undermines what college athletics is supposed to represent.

Mr. resentful, it’s not a lot of college athletes that make a lot of money. You’re living in a dumb ass bubble.

Contracts ain’t it either. What happens when guys out perform their contract, have higher market value, lose their job/aren’t being used to their full potential or can play at a higher level? They are just stuck? Both parties should have equal agency to stay or keep guys.

Saban wants the players to get paid , I think what’s happening is that because trump is in the equation people aren’t actually listening to what Nick Saban is saying , they’re so tuned into Trump and what he’s saying that they’re trying to tie Nick Saban and Trump points together and they have two different points lol

Saban is a great coach. It is unfortunate that he is being used as a tool to perpetuate the MAGA movement. I don't care what the narrative is around this table you can rest assured that they will not come up with a solution that benefits black athletes.

I’d love to debate this with you Doc !!!!

You are right He’s mad because Alabama is crumbling. They can’t not buy up all the players no more. And I love it with his cheating ass, all of the Georgia Bulldogs, Alabama Crimson tides they don’t look that tough anymore. We were sick and tired of seeing them two program i

Sabin quit coaching, because the playing field was leveled. He wasn’t the only one who was pay to play.

Nich Saban & every blood blue program was paying elite athletes indirectly. Nich Saban is full of shit! Coaches/AD are upset because they don't hold the power anymore the athletes do!

Nick Sabin is so full of shit you smell that dude from across the street!! He's a bigot and a liar how you gonna get paid but Not pay thease players. Just like most white men in America Selfish & Narcissist then gas light you on why You never should have gave them niggas money.

Indiana just won a National Championship college football is doing just fine with paying players the problem for Saban is he has a problem with players being paid Legally and not under the table like he was doing at Bama

Respect your stance. You and Saban are saying the same things. He never said he didn’t want the athletes to get paid. He also brought up transfer issues, competing age issues, and how education is not part of the process now because a lot of these athletes don’t go to class

Doc, I totally disagree with you regarding Saban! Get your facts RIGHT before attacking another coach or person! I like you; but you got to get it STRAIGHT about your facts! Where did you get your resource information & did you verify it? Blessings to you!

Players getting paid makes sense on a Micro Scale and Educational importance makes sense on a Macro Scale. That’s the disconnect, especially for the black community. We want players to individually get paid while at the same time want black society to be educated beyond athletics

Right! They know how to fix it, but they know if they go too far, they’re gonna have to make these student athletes, employees and deal with labor issues. They can miss me with all that other stuff. That’s just fluff talk.

It’s odd that in the same video within literally seconds, you talk about a coach gobbling up players and not playing them and seconds later say players should be in 2, 3 and 4 year contracts. Huh? Do the contracts guarantee playing time, role, touches?

Factz

Not to mention…

My opinion, if College Baseball or Hockey held the overwhelming market share of NIL Revenue; We wouldn't be having this debate.

Nah, the shit going on these days isn’t even close to the same. Even NFL has structure and contracts. College is a shit show.

We all know why Nick left the game.

💯💯💯 ... not only this, notice how Nick says LITERALLY NOTHING about these coaches who get buyouts of tens of millions of dollars, after running their programs into the ground!! The dude is a snake oil salesman. And he's a trumper, so that tells you all you really need to know.

Nick Saban is a hypocrite racist old white men, who’s been hurt by young black men making generational wealth. @AlabamaFTBL

I totally agree with you Doc...I'm also curious as to how they feel about high school players going pro in baseball? For some odd reason you don't hear much conversation about that! I wonder why??????????? 🤔

First of all these colleges have paid for the facilities. These kids wouldn't have a stage to perform on if not for the commitment of the University! Where is their interest being protected?

There's absolutely no proof Saban payed players. Lets say Coach prime would've came to bama & had the same success or even better. Would we be saying the same about him? I see your point trust me, if anything like that was going on under his time there it would've been exposed

NIL changed old Nick’s playbook. Leveled the playing field. Ain’t no fun when the rabbit got the gun

FACTS

Soon as the NIL changed things he retired... He full of shit ..

Here's an interesting question for you brother? If the NIL era was in place when Saban took the Alabama job, Do you think he would've still built that dynasty?

How much money did Nick Saban make coaching Alabama? I’ll wait

FACTS

I’m curious if any of his ex players will call him out of his hypocrisy

💯💯 agreed

Talk to us in 10-20 years when these kids have temporary $ now, that they spend like it will last a lifetime, and then many will walk out of college uneducated or with useless degrees. Repercussions of this is not available now but the carnage on our youth will be devastating

Just like people who stay in college 4 years and end up destroyed decades later because of student loan debt and not being taught financial literacy.

What part do you think needs to be fixed?

Need those contracts signed for 2, 3 or 4 years. Buyouts enforced, players association.

I don’t know about bouts. Meaning if you transfer athlete pays the the NIL back, or the school buys out the contract if they cut the athlete?

If the athlete has 2 years left on his or her deal, they pay a percentage of what's still owed. Never pay back what they've already earned and performed for.

We are on the same page.
