Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 5696954, member: 173"] I have two viewpoints on this. One is that Saban did a great job encouraging his players to graduate, and Alabama was near the top of the SEC when he was coaching. He’s got the track record to have credibility when talking about education. However - there’s probably no school at greater risk in the NIL era of losing more relevance than Alabama. The GDP of Alabama is far behind Florida, Georgia, and Texas - it’s going to be hard and potentially impossible for Alabama to keep up with those schools with NIL if there isn’t some type of cap. Assuming some of his positioning is advocating particularly for Alabama seems reasonable - that he was crying about the Big Ten schools having more NIL resources since they are states with much larger GDP than Alabama would indicate that as well.
