Honestly, I’m trying to picture this scene and I’m having a hard time doing it, because I’m laughing so hard.
When asked about the portal, Curtis confirmed that Saban said this: “We lost 10 players and one starter to the portal this year. 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.”
Can you imagine having the stones to stroll into Saban’s office and demand that he get your girlfriend into law school? I mean, Bryce Young, maybe. But someone off of that offensive line?
Get The Picture 
I do not trust anything Saban says about NIL. It is all about a recruiting edge and/ or setting up an excuse.
It started when he was talking with the high school association and brought up the NIL money that Bryce was getting, them the a& m spat, now this.

Thank you, Jim. The NCAA rules permit players to monetize their names, images and likenesses but the rule prohibits the universities from participating in the sale and purchasing of NIL rights. Also, the Alabama state NIL law does not allow coaches to be involved in sale and purchase of NIL rights.
Do we really think Saban violated NCAA rules and admitted to it at a HS coaches meeting?
I think he was bullshitting to make a point about his dislike of players making good money of their NIL.

The collective is supposed to be the middle man between the school and the player. If I believed what Saban said then Saban was eliminating the middle man.

I dud not say he violated any rules. He told them, believe it was the Texas he coaches, thst Bryce Young had six figure Nil deals. This was the year before the Fisher spat.

The player’s ask is crazy, but the story is also coming from someone who bragged about his QB getting a million bucks in NIL deals. If you want to brag about how much money you’re throwing around as a recruiting boost, don’t be surprised when you get some undesirable characters showing up just to see what they can get. Also, Nick please tell us what you would like the NCAA to do to regulate NIL that isn’t blatantly illegal. Saban’s going to have to make time for this shit. Maybe he should ask Kirby for advice. Seems like Kirby has figured out how to build a successful program in the NIL era. Or maybe this really is the beginning of the end for the old GOAT.
