So in case y’all haven’t seen it yet, Nick Saban went a bit scorched earth in a recent interview about NIL, recruiting, and pay for play.
Saban: We were 2nd in recruiting last year. A&M was first. A&M bought every player on their team. Made a deal for name, image and likeness. We didnt buy one player. But I dont know if were going to be able to sustain that in the future because more and more people are doing it https://t.co/uwEcLQa2u4

And more…
More from Saban tonight: These guys from Miami that are going to play basketball there for $400,000. Thats in the newspaper! The guy tells you how hes doing it! But the NCAA cant enforce their rules because its not against the law, and thats an issue, thats a problem." https://t.co/9uOzSOFpK1

Coach Prime responds
You best believe I will address that LIE Coach SABAN told tomorrow. I was & awakened by my son @ShedeurSanders that sent me the article stating that WE PAYED @TravisHunterJr a Million to play at @GoJSUTigersFB ! We as a PEOPLE dont have to pay our PEOPLE to play with our PEOPLE.

John Ruiz (Miami mega donor) responds
Sabans statements contain numerous admissions that he and the school violate NCAA rules by involving themselves in the players NIL deals! @LifeWallet we do it right! https://t.co/Fz8KT8dCQs
