Deion Sanders says Nick Saban lied about Jackson State paying Travis Hunter

With college football still months away from kicking off the 2022 season, Nick Saban still saw himself at the top of the headlines regardless.

Saban spoke at an event for the 50-day countdown for the World Games in Birmingham on Wednesday and during his time on stage, he gave a nearly six-minute answer regarding NIL and its impact on college football. Within his answer, he claimed that Texas A&M had paid for every player on its roster in its latest recruiting class.

The seven-time national champion also stated that Jackson State paid the nation’s top recruit Travis Hunter to play for the HBCU.
