HOOVER, Ala. -- Alabama coach Nick Saban was reticent on Wednesday to provide any sweeping predictions about how athletes being able to profit off their name, image and likeness will impact the sport of college football.

"Anything that I say now, because there's no precedent for it, you don't really know how it's going to affect things," Saban said.

On Tuesday, Saban told a gathering of Texas high school coaches that sophomore quarterback Bryce Young will make nearly $1 million in endorsements.

The inevitable disparity in earnings among teammates runs contrary to the level playing field college football has long strived for, Saban said at SEC media days on Wednesday.
