Nick Saban calls for commitment from players amid NIL contracts

As former Alabama coach Nick Saban rides off into retirement he’s still very present at the forefront of the sport and likely will remain so in the coming years.

Saban has already agreed to take a role on ESPN’s ever-popular College GameDay program, which will give him a voice on one of the sport’s largest platforms. Already he’s using it to voice his thoughts on some of the issues of the day.

Including NIL.

And Saban believes we’re rapidly approaching a period in time where players need to be contractually bound in certain ways to ensure the system can continue on in its current format.
