These two quotes are the ones that stood out to me. Nice to hear it coming from the top.

"What we have now is not college football -- not college football as we know it. You hear somebody use the word 'student-athlete.' That doesn't exist."

"But what you have now isn't name, image and likeness. A collective has nothing to do with name, image and likeness," Saban said.

Stopping NIL is less likely to happen than the Big 8 being re-formed into a conference. Once the big money players decide, end of discussion. Wishing for anything else is like wishing for the "good old days."

Funny, the legendary coach Pete left at the end of the movie because he couldn't take it, just like Coach K, Roy, Jay, Saban, etc have done. Blue Chips was made 30 years to early!

Heck, those guys didn't do everything the right way. They cheated like everyone else.

All those coaches played the $ game. The great John wooden would’ve never won jack squat without the money man they had paying off all the players. Sam Gilbert. Hee we did “whatever it took.”

Saban just hates that other schools can get great players now.

NIL is just another tool in the toolbox for recruiting, but some schools' tools are Milwaukee and some are Ryobi.

Still kind of crazy to me that Bobby Knight had the head coaching job at Army at 24!

The playing field gets leveled and he stops winning SEC/National titles so he retires.
