Alabama coach Nick Saban hasn’t been afraid to make his thoughts known on the introduction of name, image and likeness to college football over the last year and addressed the hot-button topic once again on the second day of the SEC’s 2022 Media Days.
Speaking to a room of reporters Tuesday, Saban spoke candidly about how NIL has manifested itself at Alabama, making clear that the players in his program have benefited greatly under the NCAA’s new policies that allow student athletes to profit off of their own NIL.
The Crimson Tide coach even offered up a number, suggesting that his players made a combined $3 million in NIL deals, which he thought might be “better than anybody in the country last year.”
