Nick Saban issues grim warning to college sports under current NIL landscape

Nick Saban didn't hold back when he spoke about the current landscape on NIL and how it will damage college sports. During his testimony for the "Protect College Sports Act," Saban said what's going on now is not sustainable. "It's become an arms race, who spends the most has got the best chance to win," Saban said. "But I think it's a race to the bottom because if you don't spend to win, you lose your fan base and you don't have any revenue." As Saban said, schools might overspend to try and compete for championships.
