Nick Saban on Capitol Hill, right next to Senator Ted Cruz: “Some of the goals and objectives of what we’ve worked so hard for the last twenty years- to improve graduation rate, to improve healthcare for players, to have mental healthcare for players- all the things we worked so hard to improve on… we’re gonna start seeing a slide in the wrong direction because we’ve created an environment that really does not promote personal development or success for their future.”
@SSN_Alabama Swiftian/Sabanian Normality @EdmundSmirk
@SSN_Alabama @tedcruz The irony of a coach who's made millions over his career getting mad because now players can actually make money off their own likeness. Ya know, the way the colleges had been doing for years 🥴
@SSN_Alabama I believe Saban is all in for the interests of his players. On and off the field. But, he also likes to win. He isn’t an innocent bystander though. Alabama football has been paying kids for years. Crying foul when everyone else can do it.
@SSN_Alabama The education system needs to divest itself from sports programs. They're mutually exclusive endeavors and are at variance in both goals & objectives. @tedcruz
