I told him he can find another place to play,&#8221; Saban said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/nick-saban-calls-out-prospect-and-transfer-he-lost-to-nil-and-ncaa-transfer-portal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Baker High School coach Steve Norman<\/a>. &#8220;I\u2019m not paying a kid a bunch of NIL money before he earns it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Norman added that Saban feels the NCAA &#8220;needs more ways and means to control it because it\u2019s getting out of hand.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Saban later added that he lost 10 players, including a starter, to the portal already.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One of them wanted $500,000 and for us to get his girlfriend into law school at Alabama and pay for it. I showed him the door,&#8221; Saban reportedly said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/car-in-fatal-crash-involving-georgia-football-player-staff-member-was-not-for-personal-use-officials-say\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>CAR IN FATAL CRASH INVOLVING GEORGIA FOOTBALL PLAYERS, EMPLOYEES WAS \u2018NOT FOR PERSONAL USE,&#8217; OFFICIALS SAY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s unknown who Saban was referring to. He did not mention names or schools, but it&#8217;s possible he was talking about Javion Cohen, who transferred to Miami.<\/p>\n<p>Saban has been critical of NIL deals in the past but does support the concept.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think a couple of things are of concern,&#8221; Saban said in August. &#8220;We allow alumni through collectives to get involved in recruiting and other things. That\u2019s always something we\u2019ve always guarded against in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/bethune-cookman-athletic-director-defends-university-following-ed-reed-saga-actually-let-us-down\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">college football<\/a>. I think what kind of competitive balance are we able to create if we allow that to happen, which is not going to be great for fans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The best competitive balance you can have is like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/sports\/nfl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in the NFL<\/a>. They have rules to create competitive balance. Whether it\u2019s salary cap, difficulty of schedule, where you draft, where you pick relative to your won-loss record. Those things are important I think in the interest of creating a lot of good matchups on a national basis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/alabamas-nick-saban-rejected-2-players-searching-1-3-million-combined-nil-money-report\">Source &#8211; https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/alabamas-nick-saban-rejected-2-players-searching-1-3-million-combined-nil-money-report <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to play for Alabama, you might not get your way when it comes to NIL money.
