If they suddenly change course they will get sued and rightfully so because we all knew then that was just a tactic to keep from sharing the revenue.

@@snerdtergusonI think you are confused. The school is not only giving them full rides of paid education which is more important than anything else in this conversation, They also are giving them the best facilities, trainers, and coaches to develop what raw talent they bring to the table. Not even mentioning the star power that comes with being a big time ball player at a school with storied history that goes back a hundred years. The school has put plenty of pieces in place to ensure that the player gets what he is owed through his labor. What you were teaching the young men is don't worry about loyalty, hanging in there through adversity, and learning sportsmanship. You're teaching them to sell yourself to the highest bidder, like an expensive escort. Sure you have the diamonds to show for it, but your dignity is long gone.

Translation. I cant automatically get all the best players every year so now i actually have to compete and i don't want a stain on my resume. Like seriously nick would have 4 stars at third string and 5 stars as backups
Total BS from coach Saban. How many coaches have abandoned the players before the bowl game and taken half the assistant coaches with them?? Total BS and it makes me mad no one calls him out on it
Coaches have established themselves in their careers. The students are trying to find themselves, college students typically need guidance and structure to prepare them for life. No rules means no structure, no structure means young men making decisions that may hurt their futures. He’s not saying they can’t transfer, he’s saying there should be rules. Can’t compare a coach to a player
@Peewyld So when Saban recruited kids to Michigan St amd promised he'd be there then left you didn't have a problem with it? Oh right, bootlicking is preferable to thinking.
Why does ESPN repeatedly push headlines like this, when Saban also says that "players should be getting paid"..."you can't blame the players"...literally every single time, and yet every single time I see an ESPN video with Saban and "transfer portal is horrible"! LOL
smooth brain, its obvious there needs to be rules and regulations for NIL and the transfer portal, it is horrible its like the wild west, theres no NIL cap
Seems to be working out for Coach Prime, Fran Brown, Lane Kiffin, Curt Cignetti and etc. They not complaining just adjusting to the situation and doing their job.
Then Elon Musk sponsors Alabama and they buy out every player from every school in the nation that they want with no one who can outbid them. You can't have that. ALL TEAMS must have the same amount of NIL money. If that's not the case then just get rid of every team in the nation, take the top 30 schools with the most billionaire backers and play an NFL schedule and that's the end of it. There's a reason the NFL has caps. Bc if they didn't there is no balance. Whichever team has the most money would win the super bowl every year.
Yeah but there should be rules and potential penalties. Making it a free for all messes things up. Players don’t have to make a commitment but schools are at risk. It should be fair on both ends.
I wish Nick Saban was in the playoff committee room or the NCAA room, His input is needed. This is one of the best shows in sports. These guys are great and very entertaining
Strange how everything was fine as long as coaches were making big $$ and coming and going as they pleased. The players are the life blood...thus THEY should have the power.
@@litedawg1 speaking past tense before the late signing day is hilarious cuz I promise they’re not finishing 2, also OP is obviously referring to the proliferation of elite talent due to the instant transfer portal rule.

It’s essentially semi pro pay for play. Yeah, staying in college for 6+ years is wild, BUT Saban is just mad that now the playing field is more leveled so he or others can’t hoard all the players. 😂
Leave the kids alone and work to keep them. If you want to bench or cut a kid in the season then it’s fine. It’s fair nick the coaches can do what they want and so can the players!!

Would it help if you guaranteed the scholarship you offered a recruit even if you decide you want to recruit a player that is better than them. Part of The issue seems to be you got them to to come to your school when they could have gone to another and but the scholarship is only based on if they play. Well you cut them let them finish school, honor your scholarship offer
Back in the day when we had rules the SEC was paying players. Now that it's legal to pay players and the playing field is level for everyone, it's a problem.
I do agree that everything needs to be restructured the nil and the portal have made things like the wild west the kids deserve to get paid and I do agree they should be able to transfer but I think it should only be once in a career the fact that kids can bounce all over the place year-to-year is pretty ridiculous they should have one eligible transfer and that's it
so heres an example of why that doesnt make sense and hurt athletes. What if a JUCO player gets recruited to a FBS/FCS school because of the promises that the coach and school made but after a year the coach leaves and with the new coaching regime they are now sitting on the bench. Should athletes sign contract with the coaches or the school to inhibit their transfers. You can't make a bold statement without even considering the fact why players transfer outside of monetary reasons.
@@klubmember960 so that should be the reason why players can’t have the same freedom as coaches now. Students studying in school can transfer to wherever college they want but somehow they can’t. I’m confused are they students or professional athletes now? And if they’re athletes why should they be limited to the free agency like any other athlete is entitled to?
I think it should be a more mature contract. We have those in the Navy. Reenlistment bonus…if you get out early. You pay a portion of it back. Same with these NIL deals
Alabama has 18 National Championships and Saban is the GOAT coach of college football. Doesn't matter what's said or not said. Those two things are facts.
☑️ For all the College sports fanatics like Coach Saban that are angry with the state of college NIF sports today. Why not turn your attention to the Military academy schools, and cheer for them instead. Think about it because it makes a lot of sense. They don't get paid, or have NIL contracts, or transfer portals, and when they graduate, these Awesome young Cadets move on to our Nations Military, and become great leaders. ☑️ Why force yourself to watch NIL College sports when it makes you so mad, and disgusted. Why force the NCAA to see things your way, when you already have Army, Navy, and Air Force academies doing it that way. INVEST YOUR TIME, AND MONEY THERE!!!, AND SUPPORT OUR TROOPS INSTEAD!!!😊
If they want to get paid like pros do then why not sign a contract/commitment like pros do? Taking the money then having their nil reps, agents shop them around to other teams the next year is not good for the game
@@Daedcicar unless there is a provision in their contract that they are allowed to leave for a new job, they will need to pay a buyout of their current contract
@ they don’t pay a buyout genius. They just up and leave. The same thing you’re complaining about the players are doing. I suggest you look at what a buyout is.
Nick Saber no you see what he did. He walked away from coaching after he paid players under the table. Everything was OK longer. You were paying players under the table and he know that’s how he was winning once they made it even playing field he quit or retired. Whatever one you want to say and ran up to the White House and see what congress can do but the sad part about it. You can put rules in place with Congress getting involved, but I will be watching to see how this show going to end.
5:30 Desmond how you gonna do a CBA? The implication is that there is a union to collectively bargain with. The power of a union relies on the ability to strike. With a limited college eligibility window how would the union convince all of its members, larger than any current professional sport, not to cross the picket line? They will get replacement players from the transfer portal that are unaffiliated and from the student body.
They are "students" so like any student they can drop out and transfer any time and as many times as they want, provided a school takes them. I had alot of friends who worked through college so they should be able to make money.
Only cause you enter the portal it don't mean you are going to get an offer. I wouldn't offer a 23 year or over a position when i have a young 3 star an above in my team.
1st stop the student athlete farce. CFB is a booster club for the schools, treat it as such. Contracts including a CBA should be in place. Basically CFB is a NFL farm system. NFL needs to stop freeloading. CFB has no structure they can’t even implement a rational playoff system SMH. Conferences have too much control which affects scheduling, officiating, etc. No way a D1 school should be playing a D2 JV team. It’s stupid.
Saban and Sweeney are 2 of the biggest hypocrites in college football, Nick ain’t had no problem making all the money he could, he’d think about leaving and Bama would fork over cash like a running toilet, now all of a sudden the script is flipped and he has a problem
Every person saying "Saban paid players under the table" just started watching CFB 2 years ago, I don't think you understand how low IQ you have to be to think Bama paid players, but Texas couldn't or didn't.
Definitely gotta figure out a different portal window! Anytime except right in the middle of the playoffs!!! Or let the players enter the portal find another team but stay with their current team until there teams season is over! 🤔
The real problem is this is a sport not an education. It was supposed to be extracurricular, but has turned into a profession. Your number one job in college was to get an education and sports secondary. Now education is a joke! And sports is a business! It’s all about the money. As a taxpayer, I’m supporting these schools in my state and their scholarships, it’s a joke. I’m not going to pay for some kid, who makes more money than me. Either, make it a extracurricular activity again, with no pay. Or make them pros, which they are, and give them binding contractors, and whether they attend class who cares. But don’t expect the taxpayer to pay for their scholarships and save them for real underprivileged students. But then again, college education is a joke!
Hey Coach, that rule should apply to Coaches as well, you can't leave before the season is over, including the impending bowl games you qualify for‼️I hate it when these young men have to face their bowl opposition without the coaches that led them there‼️
Stop B.S.ing people and create what college football has become in the major conferences. It is now a semipro "league" with free agency. We are talking about contracts and litigation.
Yes of course. Alabama, and only Alabama mind you, got away with paying the players without the NCAA having a clue. For 15 years. Paid them millions, no wait, make that TRILLIONS of dollars. LOL
Seems you should have one signing day ( early signing day) and one transfer portal day end of February. ( close to original signing day) and that’s it! Gets players in for spring….. but grass isn’t always greener. Your choice to leave a program or stay. All decisions have consequences, as it is in life.
I somewhat agree with nick about the part of leaving the team before the season is over, but come on man, what about coaches who do the same? How many coaches like jimbo fisher pack up their stuff and leave in the middle of the night to take another job right before bowl games? The NCAA is also to blame. They ignored this issue for way too long, and now it’s biting them in the rear end. They could’ve done something 10 years ago, but they were greedy. Could’ve made all the player’s employees and paid them all the same amount, and then whatever they make on top of that on their own is also theirs
Of course he's right. We all know he's right cause we've all been screaming for the last couple years how CFB and the portal is broken. I don't get why so many people in this comment section are actively going against what they themselves have been saying for years.
I've told people for years "You should listen to Coach Saban. He's spitting facts." And because of tribalism, fans from other teams hated him and said his words were BS. Well, he was pretty much vindicated on everything he ever said.
I need every in the comments to stay on their jobs. If better pay or opportunity comes along i need you to stay , becuase that is what is best for the company. We need rules people shouldn't be able chage to jobs any chance they get 😐
The transfer portal shouldn’t open until the national champion is decided. And at some point the NCAA needs to put their foot down and take control. They have the power at every sport except for football and it’s time that changes
The problem with the portal is the combo of portal and nil. They don’t have to sit out a year anymore. So it’s free agency every year now. It’s ruined the sport honestly. Sucks having 60 new players every year. 12 new basketball players. Sucks
No contracts for college players, I think they need to have only 1 transfer portal after soring football, but I also think you should only be allowed to go into the portal 1 tihe thats it
Which makes it a professional league. The schools should just license their name to these new professional teams. You can also attend class if you want but no special treatment and no scholarships unless purely academic. Then the schools could start over with amateur football. Again, only academic scholarships and no NIL money. The second you take money, you're off the team and out of college football.
@@robertd9850you sound stupid, teams have been profiting off these athletes for the last decade, now you want to take their education away when they are profit sharing, oh now their professional because they are receiving money for the fans they are putting in the seats. NIL really benefits that’s star athletes not the regular. Sit back and watch.

No. The rules are equal for all colleges. The colleges that get into playoff should be able to handle this.
That's Alabama Jones folks!
SABAN CORNERED ALL THE TALENT, SO NOW HIS UPSET😅
He was able to develop talent. Now players leave before you can develop them
Why not just change the portal date to after the playoffs?
Yeah I’ve seen a lot of analysts say this and it will make sense and be a easy fix to it
I don’t think that would totally solve it. Especially seeing how some of the deals are being made before it opens now. That’s why so many are committing right after it opens.
That would just make it the norm. There is nothing binding the player to playing in the playoffs, bowl games. What would prevent the new deal being contingent on the player forgoing the bowl game?

Because the academic calendar starts in Jan. For years the argument has been that they should not get paid because they were student athletes, not pros.

Because the portal isn't specific to football and it happens based on the academic calendar, not any individual sport.

☑️ Why force yourself to watch NIL College sports when it makes you so mad, and disgusted. Why force the NCAA to see things your way, when you already have Army, Navy, and Air Force academies doing it that way. INVEST YOUR TIME, AND MONEY THERE!!!, AND SUPPORT OUR TROOPS INSTEAD!!!😊
If they want to get paid like pros do then why not sign a contract/commitment like pros do?
Taking the money then having their nil reps, agents shop them around to other teams the next year is not good for the game
You mean like the coaches who up and leave while under contract?
Dude their employees just the same as the employers can say well we don’t want to play you so you’re gonna sit out.
@@Daedcicar unless there is a provision in their contract that they are allowed to leave for a new job, they will need to pay a buyout of their current contract
@JayRoberts244, what you are not saying is that it has been the schools that have refused to allow contracts, not the players
@ they don’t pay a buyout genius. They just up and leave. The same thing you’re complaining about the players are doing. I suggest you look at what a buyout is.
Stop crying. You don’t even coach anymore
And YOU aren't good enough to be the scum on the bottom of his shoes.
He was asked a question: If you can’t handle the answer don’t watch!
No one can leave till after all the playoff games are done for the year that simple
Saban chose where he wanted to go why cant these kids?
Heisman winners negotiate on behalf of players. They played and won at the highest level in college...
Nick Saber no you see what he did. He walked away from coaching after he paid players under the table. Everything was OK longer. You were paying players under the table and he know that’s how he was winning once they made it even playing field he quit or retired. Whatever one you want to say and ran up to the White House and see what congress can do but the sad part about it. You can put rules in place with Congress getting involved, but I will be watching to see how this show going to end.
5:30 Desmond how you gonna do a CBA? The implication is that there is a union to collectively bargain with. The power of a union relies on the ability to strike. With a limited college eligibility window how would the union convince all of its members, larger than any current professional sport, not to cross the picket line? They will get replacement players from the transfer portal that are unaffiliated and from the student body.
Whenever something is monetized into large amounts, corruption occurs
They are "students" so like any student they can drop out and transfer any time and as many times as they want, provided a school takes them.
I had alot of friends who worked through college so they should be able to make money.
Only cause you enter the portal it don't mean you are going to get an offer. I wouldn't offer a 23 year or over a position when i have a young 3 star an above in my team.
1st stop the student athlete farce. CFB is a booster club for the schools, treat it as such. Contracts including a CBA should be in place. Basically CFB is a NFL farm system. NFL needs to stop freeloading. CFB has no structure they can’t even implement a rational playoff system SMH. Conferences have too much control which affects scheduling, officiating, etc. No way a D1 school should be playing a D2 JV team. It’s stupid.
But then Nicky wouldn't have had 4 automatic wins every season, one of which was before playing Auburn every year.😂😂
Saban and Sweeney are 2 of the biggest hypocrites in college football, Nick ain’t had no problem making all the money he could, he’d think about leaving and Bama would fork over cash like a running toilet, now all of a sudden the script is flipped and he has a problem
You are not very bright are you?
@@litedawgand you must be white with the slave master mentality
Stfu
Stop crying
Didn't he say he supports players getting paid like 3 times
@@BrandonLee-jg6hlThey been paying players forever
Every person saying "Saban paid players under the table" just started watching CFB 2 years ago, I don't think you understand how low IQ you have to be to think Bama paid players, but Texas couldn't or didn't.
Definitely gotta figure out a different portal window! Anytime except right in the middle of the playoffs!!! Or let the players enter the portal find another team but stay with their current team until there teams season is over! 🤔
The real problem is this is a sport not an education. It was supposed to be extracurricular, but has turned into a profession. Your number one job in college was to get an education and sports secondary. Now education is a joke! And sports is a business! It’s all about the money. As a taxpayer, I’m supporting these schools in my state and their scholarships, it’s a joke. I’m not going to pay for some kid, who makes more money than me. Either, make it a extracurricular activity again, with no pay. Or make them pros, which they are, and give them binding contractors, and whether they attend class who cares. But don’t expect the taxpayer to pay for their scholarships and save them for real underprivileged students. But then again, college education is a joke!
Hey Coach, that rule should apply to Coaches as well, you can't leave before the season is over, including the impending bowl games you qualify for‼️I hate it when these young men have to face their bowl opposition without the coaches that led them there‼️
Stop B.S.ing people and create what college football has become in the major conferences. It is now a semipro "league" with free agency. We are talking about contracts and litigation.
Right college kids were fighting to go to Alabama instead of somewhere like Hawaii. No dumb dumb the boosters paid them
Yes of course. Alabama, and only Alabama mind you, got away with paying the players without the NCAA having a clue. For 15 years. Paid them millions, no wait, make that TRILLIONS of dollars. LOL
College football is turning into a joke, they're ruining it 😮😢
Shane Gillis left Saban shook yesterday 😂😂😂😂
Seems you should have one signing day ( early signing day) and one transfer portal day end of February. ( close to original signing day) and that’s it! Gets players in for spring….. but grass isn’t always greener. Your choice to leave a program or stay. All decisions have consequences, as it is in life.
I somewhat agree with nick about the part of leaving the team before the season is over, but come on man, what about coaches who do the same? How many coaches like jimbo fisher pack up their stuff and leave in the middle of the night to take another job right before bowl games? The NCAA is also to blame. They ignored this issue for way too long, and now it’s biting them in the rear end. They could’ve done something 10 years ago, but they were greedy. Could’ve made all the player’s employees and paid them all the same amount, and then whatever they make on top of that on their own is also theirs
And he did.😂
Plus the portal doesn’t even exist. Teams are already contacting guys who aren’t even in the portal yet. So
It’s fucked
Of course he's right. We all know he's right cause we've all been screaming for the last couple years how CFB and the portal is broken. I don't get why so many people in this comment section are actively going against what they themselves have been saying for years.
Cause little Nicky is the biggest crybaby hypocrite on the set.
@MJ-rl7pj says the guy who literally spends his entire UA-cam time whining and moaning in the comment sections lmao.
Look Saban paved the way for the golden years of LSU football and I’m forever grateful, but he is so out of touch and hypocritical.
So obviously you know nothing about the portal or you wouldn't be making such an idiotic comment. Every coach says the same things.
Transfer Portal is just free agency. College Football is like European Football man. No swaps just straight up transfers and free transfers.
Please remove that obnoxious music at end of these videos!
Alabama Jones and the Portal of Doom
Indiana vs Notre Dame : cheapest seat 989$ most expensive 3900$
Saban out there lookin like The Godfather
yawwwnnn, was that supposed to be funny?
@ no idiot , it’s supposed to be a statement
I've told people for years "You should listen to Coach Saban. He's spitting facts." And because of tribalism, fans from other teams hated him and said his words were BS. Well, he was pretty much vindicated on everything he ever said.
😂😂😂 Nicky is a quitter.
Franklin is nothing but a crybaby
I need every in the comments to stay on their jobs. If better pay or opportunity comes along i need you to stay , becuase that is what is best for the company. We need rules people shouldn't be able chage to jobs any chance they get 😐
when your company actually develops people it's worth it
Nick saban got the drip on
I wonder how he got the money for all that.
Cheap labor?
So sad that you can’t make a comment on the subject of the issues of the portal or nil.
@@keymasteroz listen I really don’t care what y’all think
Why won't we fix the wild west portal rules! All I hear is people complaining about it but nobody will do anything about it!
The only problem here is him not winning another championship since the transfer portal became a thing. Now every team will have a chance
Yeah... you couldn't beat him so you changed the rules
@Legendary_UA no more hoarding 5 star athletes cause the transfer portal level the plain field
The price of freedom!! Love it!!
The transfer portal shouldn’t open until the national champion is decided. And at some point the NCAA needs to put their foot down and take control. They have the power at every sport except for football and it’s time that changes
I wish Nick Saban was the czar and picked the playoff rankings on his own too.
Would his boosters be there to help him as well?
@@MJ-rl7pj hopefully
Nick please
Put Saban on NCAA.
The problem with the portal is the combo of portal and nil. They don’t have to sit out a year anymore. So it’s free agency every year now. It’s ruined the sport honestly. Sucks having 60 new players every year. 12 new basketball players. Sucks
😂😂😂 waaa
Any player with an NIL deal shouldn't be offered scholarships and should have to sign a binding contract with the school to play football. Done.
😂😂😂Coaches can't leave either then. Done.
No contracts for college players, I think they need to have only 1 transfer portal after soring football, but I also think you should only be allowed to go into the portal 1 tihe thats it
Contracts, Salary Cap, Trades fixes all of this
Not trades
Which makes it a professional league. The schools should just license their name to these new professional teams. You can also attend class if you want but no special treatment and no scholarships unless purely academic. Then the schools could start over with amateur football. Again, only academic scholarships and no NIL money. The second you take money, you're off the team and out of college football.
@@robertd9850you sound stupid, teams have been profiting off these athletes for the last decade, now you want to take their education away when they are profit sharing, oh now their professional because they are receiving money for the fans they are putting in the seats. NIL really benefits that’s star athletes not the regular. Sit back and watch.
All for giving them contracts, but then the school has to give them some of that revenue
