Nick Saban On What Constitutes The Best College Job

“That’s changed dramatically, the whole question of what constitutes the best job,” Saban told On3. “What used to make a job great was facilities, fan support, good academic support, recruiting base and being able to create value for the players. Now that has been minimized to how much money do you have to spend on building a roster.
“That is the most important thing by far.”
This unrestricted free agency with no cap has to stop. It's incredibly sad that winning in college football has become almost 100% dependent on how much you pay your players and nothing else

Yes and not how much you spend on a coach which makes marginal difference.

When everybody can do it, equally, you see who got away with it the last 30+ years.
OLOL says hey

The problem is that there is no equality. One individual wealthy booster can single handedly buy a roster a la Texas Tech. There were certainly some small payments being made before but nowhere near the unregulated millions that we are seeing now.

Good luck to everyone who still thinks there is a chance Saban will come out of retirement for the current state of college football.

It was like that before. It just wasn't "legal". It's not like pre-NIL you had a bunch of "low budget" programs competing for championships.
If anything, it's allowed teams who otherwise wouldn't have a shot (Ole Miss, Indiana, SMU, Vanderbilt, etc, etc,) a chance to compete

Saban was the frontrunner in NIL, with unlimited resources and a system with the clout to keep it under wraps, I think when he no longer had that monopoly is what drove him to "retire"

There is more to it than that... case in point LSU.. without looking it up... if there was a direct correlation between what was spent and results we would probably be easily in the top 5 ranking....
