The college football landscape is in a state of transition, as the Name, Image, and Likeness rules have allowed schools to use different resources in recruiting.
Texas A&M is one team coaches have criticized for using financial resources to recruit players, and Nick Saban added his criticisms to the collection Wednesday. The Alabama head coach explained his way of recruiting is going to be obsolete as long as other teams are willing “buy” players.
“We were second in recruiting last year, A&M was first,” Saban said. “A&M bought every player on their team. Made a deal for name, image, and likeness. We didn’t buy one player. But I don’t know if we will be able to sustain that in the future because more and more people are doing it.”
