@cbsnews: College football's most decorated head coach Nick Saban spoke at the White House on Friday at a college sports roundtable hosted by President Trump. Saban called on lawmakers to fix issues he has seen at the collegiate level, where Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals have turned the focus away from education. "How much does anybody talk about getting an education anymore? Nobody talks about it at all, which is the most important thing any of these student athletes can do in terms of enhancing their future."
NCAA desperately needs a commissioner to impose guidelines going forward. Right now we have the wild wild west. I vote Saban to be the first.

Well, you should be coaching for like $150,000 a year instead of 10 to 20,000,000

College football used to be about an education. That's no longer the case.

Allow Endorsements not pay to play. Or use contracts for full terms. Cap on transfer to 2 transfers.

It never seemed to bother Saban when his boosters were buying chargers, houses, etc under the table and bags full of cash to sway the best players to come to Alabama. He had a great opportunity to help fix college sports but instead this is what you get.

Coach is right There's about 1,000 to 800 players still in the portal this cycle that will lose their scholarships. Thats the problem. Yeah make your money but this jumping around is hurting kids. There has to be regulation to this system.

Let’s look at the coaches too. Does it make sense for coaches to be making 10-15 million a year? Don’t hate the player, hate the game.👏
