Lincoln Riley Takes Jab At The SEC About "Paying Players"

"I think the parity, stories that wouldn't have happened before that are happening now," Riley said on The Colin Cowherd Show. "Now there's not just one part of the country paying players. Everybody's able to do it and it's a great thing because I do think it has created a much more level playing field and it has given schools the opportunity to really compete if they want to invest.

"It's been great for players. We all know there's still parts of it to be worked out. It's obviously not a finished product by any stretch of the imagination, but it has gotten better. There has been a lot of positives and I think you're going to continue to see a lot of great stories, a lot of new opportunities for different types of programs, which I think is really good for the sport as a whole."
