Don't take my word for it, take it from the man himself. He is also for revenue sharing with the players. I would post the link but don't want to post a story from another recruiting site.
āNo, not at all," Saban told Fox News' Bret Baier. "I just never wanted to see the program go down, and I felt whether it was recruiting or hiring coaches and people wanting to know how long you're going to be here. When you get to 72 years old, it gets harder and harder to promise people you're gonna be there for four or five or more years.ā
Saban added, "I love coaching. We adapted well to the system. At Alabama, we were one of the 'haves' in this new, current system, even though I see some serious problems with it moving forward in the future."
A solution to those problems? Saban thinks that officially sharing some of college football's revenues with players could be a way to formalize the situation and make things more equitable for the athletes on the field.
