(Apologies if this belongs on Cartier but it feels like it pertains to CFB as a whole and ND has a stake in all of this)

“I know the consequence is going to be difficult for the people who are spending tons of money to get players,” Saban said at a 50-day countdown event for the World Games, which will be held in Birmingham in July. “You read about it, you know who they are. 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. Aight? But I don’t know if we’re going to be able to sustain that in the future, because more and more people are doing it. It’s tough.”

This smells like Saban flashing a bat signal to the bagmen of Tuscaloosa, to me. “Time to step our game up, gentlemen”. I generally like Nick Saban, but I think this was a calculated move and he’s not acting from a place of moral standing.
