Former Alabama football head coach Nick Saban joined Texas Senator ted Cruz, Alabama Athletic Director Greg Byrne and others at a Senate Roundtable in Washington D.C. to discuss the landscape of collegiate athletics.
One of the biggest changes in recent years has been the opening of the floodgates on name, image, likeness, which allows athletes to benefit from their status and notoriety.
These changes happened overnight, with little guidance to the Universities, the players, or coaches. Saban was an outspoken advocate for players during his time at the helm of the Crimson Tide, but warned of the eventual dangers of allowing these policies to move forward unchecked.
Today, he was asked by Senator Cruz if name, image, likeness played a role in his decision to retire. Saban’s answer was as candid as could be and it sent a very powerful message.
