PITTSBURGH — Nick Saban went off the deep end over the past few days decrying NIL deals and how the idea of programs being able to pay players is bad for college football. He singled out Jackson State — yes, Jackson State — and Texas A&M as two programs that engaged in the apparently immoral act of "buying players"
Saban said of Texas A&M: "We were second 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 didn't buy one player."
He then claimed he read in the paper that Jackson State "paid a guy a million dollars last year that was a really good Division I player to come to the school. And they bragged about it. Nobody did anything about it."
