We are getting an education into today’s NIL-driven college football world.
It may be a confusing learning process, but a process nonetheless. NIL has young head coaches excited and older ones concerned about the future of the sport. The dialogue became a feud between Nick Saban (Alabama) and Jimbo Fisher (Texas A&M) on a national stage. Saban said Texas A&M “bought every player” in the top-ranked 2022 recruiting class with NIL funds, and Fisher called Saban “despicable” and a “narcissist” for publicly attacking his program.
People have discussed the near seven figures of NIL funds for Bryce Young.
