Saban on the state of college athletics

[Chem95]

Agreed. Just not sure he is the person that should be saying it. Cheapens the message.

And he comes off looking like a major hypocrite.

Donors want to pay off my house and fund an 8 digit salary? Yes please. The way it oughta be.

Donors want to pay a kid 7 figures to play football? Somethings wrong.

Just for comparison

.........................Nick Saban (28 years) .... Jock Sutherland (20 years)

National titles: .............. 7 ..........................5
Conf/Regional titles.......12..........................8
Winning Percentage.. 0.804................... 0.812

NFL Record..................0.469...................... 0.622

In 100 or so years, will other schools claim Saban's national titles are fake?

Ridiculous comparison. What school was going to pay Saban more than his $10.6M? Players move to maximize their payout. You may not like it, but it makes sense.

You're right. It is ridiculous to mention Saban taking money as a professional coach with a contract in comparison to players who skip out in a play-for-pay scenario.
