Nick Saban thinks college players have too much power & control

“When you can opt out, transfer, do whatever you want whenever you want, I’m not sure that balance is quite right.”

"If you’re going to have parity, you have to have a better way of figuring out who has the best teams."

"They are never complacent."

“I don’t know what Nick Saban’s doing tonight, but I’m sure he is looking around for a drink.”

"They don’t try to kill us. He did."

“For all of us who love college athletics, it is important that we have strong student-athlete protections and consistent rules for NIL deals.”

“I think everybody’s concerned about ‘the state’ of college football right now.”

"Make it like the NFL. It's going to be the same for everyone. I think that's better than what we have now."

Nick Saban has been helping lead the Alabama athletic program.

“Hopefully the competition will make everybody better.”
