Invited to speak at a roundtable discussion with a handful of US Senators on Capitol Hill Tuesday, former football coach Nick Saban spoke about how the current landscape of college athletics contributed to his decision to retire from the University of Alabama after the 2023 season. “All the things that I believed in for all these years, 50 years of coaching, no longer exist in college athletics,” Saban said at the roundtable, a video of which was posted online by Sen. Ted Cruz .
“I think that may be the long-term solution. I think you could create a better quality of life for student athletes. You could still emphasize development – personal, academic, brand and athletic development with the system like that. “And it would be equal in, in all institutions. In other words, somebody couldn’t go out and raise more money at one school to create in a competitive advantage from another.
