Alabama's Nick Saban rejected 2 players who were searching for $1.3 million combined in NIL money: reportAccording to OutKick, Nick Saban had no problems letting a top recruit and one of his own players go recently after they asked for over $1 million combined from the school. "Someone with one of the best corners in the nation (in high school) came to me and asked if we’d pay them $800,000 for the player to sign here. I told him he can find another place to play," Saban said, according to Baker High School coach Steve Normand. "I’m not paying a kid a bunch of NIL money before he earns it." Saban later added that he lost 10 players, including a starter, to the portal already. "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," Saban reportedly said. www.foxnews.com/sports/alabamas-nick-saban-rejected-2-players-searching-1-3-million-combined-nil-money-report

"Until he's earned it,” Saban says. The players having leverage and agency is probably more troubling to these guys than the actual money.

Good for Saban. These kids are arrogant and entitled. They will get it somewhere. For every Saban, there is a Jimbo Fischer or Deon Sanders out there willing to sell their souls to get these kids.

He's talking outta both sides of his mouth. I don't think so, he was talking about incoming freshmen wanting big bucks just to sign with Alabama. I don't think he has a problem with upperclassmen getting NIL bucks.... However, as usual, I could be wrong.
