- Former Alabama head football coach Nick Saban joined Texas Senator Ted Cruz on Capitol Hill Tuesday to discuss the direction of NCAA sports.
Cruz believes Congress should standardize how athletes can be compensated for their names, images, and likenesses and give the NCAA and conferences the ability to govern college sports without the constant threat of lawsuits and state laws undercutting their authority.

Black parents stop sending your kids to these coaches that have these kind of philosophy.
I completely agree. These big time college programs have made millions off the backs of these players and the coaches have made millions as well. People should consider sending their children to HBCU’S. IF MONEY wasn’t important, then WHY when these big college programs have a losing season, the coach is FIRED. The players are the ones doing the work.
This is when Nick Saban really got mad. Report: Nick Saban reveals former starter asked for $500K, help getting girlfriend into law school.Jan 29, 2023
Saban wife had a nerve telling mothers that they now had their sons and would take care of them...red flag!
Seriously. So tired of my people whining but taking no responsibility for creating these whyte monsters.
Kellen Winslow tried to tell his son Kellen Winslow Jr. the same thing. He wanted him to go play for Ty Willingham the Black head coach at Michigan State. It clearly showed later in career that the University of Miami did not "develop" Kellen Winslow Jr.
I would go even further Black parents need to start taking their kids out of sports period. At the very least keep them away from football and basketball. Those two sports are poison for our Black males. They are nothing but 🦝factories. The Emmit Smith and Colin Kaepernicks are few and far between.
Over his 50+ years of coaching, Nick Saban has made over $160 million dollars off the backs of college football players who never received a dime during his coaching tenure in college sports.
Legal dime anyway.
Not to mention millions that he’s made off endorsements and outside businesses! He co-owns several Mercedes Benz dealerships as well.
Apparently wife right there with him telling mothers to not worry we got it
The hell you do. When has this kind of situation ever worked out.
@@MsSnu I didn't say it was good. Just pointing out how Saban's teams before NIL most likely had been paid in some ways.
And 90% of those players didn't make it to the NFL, and no skill set once football is over. We've all seen this happen over and over in our society.
Stadium seats are hundreds for a seat now. The stadium get paid, the coaches get paid and the players get advice. Don’t make sense.
Its time to cut the pay of the coaches
Long overdo!
Really, coaches have worked years to get to where they are at and they earned it. If getting a degree, three square meals a day, along with a place to live isn't good enough. Don't play college football, no one is making you. Take your ass to the pros and see how you do. It seems like a lot of people forget what development means to these kids. NIL is fine, but the colleges having to pay for a kid is BS.
They sound like slave owners during reconstruction...
Bottomline
Yall have small brains. Lets just accept the fact college sports are fucked. You know alabama spend 190,000 a year on college students. Scholarship, food, airfare, top of tbe line facilities. What about the
Other
90% of players? Fuck them i
Guess.
Man!
I agree. Student should have Been earning royalties from the sales of Their Own images, names, numbers, etc that is the result of their own hard work and dedication to a sport.
Facts , they hate to see us make anything
Slavery under a different name
So very true, if a player doesn't follow the coaches to a t they will never get a chance to go anywhere else. Now with the portal these young men can make the choices that are best for them.
True
🎯
U got that right
Look at NC State in basketball they were going to fire Keatts the coach the players makes the final four he ĝets extension the players should gett a bonus do realize that three point shot against Virginia saved his job he gets an extension what does that player get because if they lose in the açc tournament his ass was getting fired hope that kid got a nil bonus coming because he save that coaches job and that the truth look it uo
I have dealt with the Nick Saban types. They feel you should just be glad you have an opportunity and could care less you are trying to eat. While they are living very well.
And you have people that actually think this idiotic way of thinking is logical.
he is a close friend oh the senator from west Virginia- expect it
Why aren't they paying college professors millions then ? Aren't students coming in underdeveloped too ?
😂exactly, he's talking about academics and graduation but fail to mention how the teachers are the ones that he's depending on to teach them an education, so they can graduate. But he's selfish an refuse to believe that you should pay for the labor. But Karma is definitely gone hit him and every other coach that made millions and feel like this.
truth sayer- quit your day job
This is disgusting. The NCAA and colleges make billions off these athletes when some of them can’t afford to eat!
$la very!
They are mad that black college players are getting a check. Nick is full of it. The coaches are jealous.
It is. The schools AND the cities where they are located and all the coaches make millions and the kid GETS NOTHING??? Never made sense to me.
Plus so.e of the kids' families are on welfare, OR losing their home, job etc, the kids want to be able to help out the fam ASAP!!!
From what I understand all these kids were getting free meals and everything..how would you feel Martin if you pay a kid 5 million and he never gets on the field or he decided to transfer out?
They should boycott
Let college athletes starve while you eat...Got it.
Exactly.
Absolutely Right 🧐🏈
That part!!!
This way the players would be dependent on them and they can control them.
@@leesimone2 Thank You 👍🏾
I played on a college foorball team and had to walk a hour to school everyday.. then had a 1 hour conditioning class.. 1 hour weight room. And and a regular practice.. twice a week.. i told my assistant coach that i cant work during the football season because the schedule is too tied up. He told me to go apply for financial assistance at the nearest wellfare office. And told me i can apply for foodstamps as well.. cold world i tell ya.
Straight FACTS Roland...😮
THANK YOU ROLAND FOR EXPOSING THE HYPOCRISY OF COLLEGES AND COACHES ❤

Bull Roland has no idea what he's talking about he could have said the sky is green and you all would agree
Not a Black man/woman at that table or any in the room, even!!
How about any athlete?
But its 20000 black players
That's exactly what I said! They can't stand to see our people have power and excel.
@@angelamichelle0729And our people are the same
But yet black people wants to be a Republican SMDH
They didnt ask Coach Prime to attend 😂
That's what they're really mad about. He pulled the covers back on this because his boys were going to get paid and not played.
@@deandrajohnson6209you do know prime stands with Nick Saban on this.
Or coach, Jim Harbaugh!!! GO BLUE 🏆〽️🌹
This is the one time that I agree with ROLAND MARTIN⁉️CUT THE CHECK and play the players plus pay REPARATIONS ⁉️
Its a problem when young black men are getting paid.
Crazy. SMH
Facts.
That's exactly what it's about.
That’s it. Nuff said.
They hate it because it cuts into the coaches and schools pockets. The money they have made off of these kids is criminal.
It doesn’t cut into the schools because the schools are not allowed to pay the players, players get paid from boosters, and doing commercials, etc. Jim Harbaugh former coach of the Michigan Wolverines said he thought the players should get paid by the schools, and the University of Michigan agreed with him, which is against Big Ten policy and the NCAA policy next thing you know Harbaugh was suspended twice and would have been suspended this coming season.
Absolutley doesnt the NIL deal are from outside sponsors PERIOD
What do you think boosters are? Thata school money going to players @@adarrinsmith7491
Very criminal
TV deals, sponsorships, endorsements, these schools make billions off these players....young black men and women.
My brother played with Georgia and got a new regal sport car. Herschel Walker had his own house and two Corvettes as a freshman
The first man that started talking took the words right out of my mouth with that Mosdef quote.
The level of hypocrisy in Saban’s comments vs his actions as a coach is hysterical.
Stop hating! You know that is not true. He care about his players!
🤣@@user-qs9yx4im9c

It was almost comical........
Wow! Keep Raising the Awareness!!! 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Preach brother preach!
You get to make over $10 million a year as a coach, but the players who do the work are not allowed to get a piece of the Pie. Shame , Shame , Shame 😅
Congress has nothing to do with this. I can't believe this. But you Nick took advantage of it 100%
When did these people ever care about our development?
Saban always has. It’s what he is known for
The NFL said the players aren't developed, just like the NBA. They may have to start a developmental league in the future. They are student first,...well they use to be. Semi-pro.
Maybe between 1619 and 1865 .People cared about our " developing" into the perfect free labor source, 😡
@@racktown1157 Development starts before they get to high school
Saban was overpaid for decades, now he's out here taking money out of other people's pockets @@klimaxxx06
God bless you brother Roland for giving us such vital eye opening information. God continually be with you and your family and all that concerns you!
I saw no blacks in that room with Nick Saban!
Screw you Saban. You get millions these kids barely get by
Agreed 💯
Tommy Tuberville has definitely demonstrated that NCAA coaches are not all good people.
Tubberville is literally one of the dumbest people I have ever witnessed.
Yep!!
They should’ve asked Nikki Saban how much adversity he overcame when he was a 50+ y.o. coach who quit a job in Miami in the middle of a season……I wonder how he would crucify a 19y.o. If they did that in his team…….🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Where are the College students at this hearing. They have a voice too. And they should speak out. This is what you hate about The Government. They only allow only certain people to speak.
I didn't see any athletes testify at this hearing, they are the ones who are affected. Not these hypocritical coaches who want someone to work for free.
🎯
When did they start working for free? Housing, books, tuition, food, and tutoring have never been free in this country?🤔
And it still doesn't add up to the amount universities and coaches make off of their players. Schools and coaches gets apparel contracts as well. Also, Athletes can not work while they're on scholarship. @lloydporchia7583
@@lloydporchia7583 not all players have scholarships, what about them
@@lloydporchia7583 not enuff- trust fund

Thank you Roland!!
Yeeeeeeeeeees Roland!!! Keep it REAL!!!
I spoke with an ex-athlete friend who was told to not major in something because it would take away from his football focus. They sound angry that their power is being taken away.
That's really sad, because that wasn't my son's experience playing football on a four-year athletic scholarship @ a D1 university where he graduated. If your friend listened & took the advice of what sounds like a Counselor & still attended that school & didn't pick a major, well shame on him.
Yep. I witnessed the same thing personally myself on several occasions. Not only that, they also have these designated majors that are "fixed" for athletes. There was a point not long ago when almost all of Duke's basketball roster were Psychology majors.🤔 Nothing suspicious about that.
@terrify2745 Sad is probably an understatement. It sounds like 60's & and 70s, where teachers and counselors steadfastly steered Black children to vocational school while preparing/awarding white students for college. Black students overwhelmingly only received athletic scholarships vs academic for white students. That is factual. 😏
I tell people that is the case ALL THE TIME. Sports Scholarships are nothing like they appear to be.
I Agree
NCAA college football is a billion dollar industry. Just like the NFL. But, prior to last year, the only ones who were NOT getting paid were the athletes. What a racket that was!
And white ppl are BESIDE themselves
This is real sickening
They are jealous of your show Roland . Because u say the truth. They can't stand the truth. Keep up the good WORK❤️❤️❤️
You think free labor is forever. Give them boys their money.

Lol ha ha
No one seems to have an issue with female collegiate gymnist, female soccer players, female collegiate basketball players or YT colelgiate baseball players earning over 6 figures in NIL deals. It only seems to be in issue when BLACK college football players are cashing in.
Job, not a business. No passive income, no guaranteed contracts, Roland you're the best thank you
These athletes especially black ones deserve to make money off of their likeness & image.
Why the black ones?
Coach Saban wants players to get paid....he has said this before but the system now has no guard rails
takeaxsh00, They can stop attending those institutions like Alabama that won’t to stop them from being adequately compensated while the university makes millions off them.
Go to HBCUS!
@pyrplebutterfly please send the link for that.
That’s the problem my friend. Too many black men and girls making money.
And don't forget a lot of these players suffer injuries in college ball, and never get compensated for that though they end up suffering their entire lives.
Facts
Facts
The graduation rate, for black college athletes, is still dismal at best.
So they don’t want students to make money from the sport but the schools do!!! Right!!😮
I have newfound respect for Roland. This is the Gospel here.
How many college athletes have been injured and end up with nothing. While these coaches are millionaire. Then the Republicans who claim they don't want regulations. Small government. But when the money starts heading in the wrong direction. Away from the contributors of the GOP. Its time to get this thing under control.
I've got a foot long scar on my left knee, arthroscopic procedure done to my right knee, a residual staple in my left knee and a cartilage block in my left knee that doesn't show up on MRI due to the staple but hey... It was great exercise 😐
Saban is a Dummycrat.
I agree with that. They should have injury insurance
It builds character and develops a young man. Money doesn't do that, and it gets in the way helping create a true athlete. 😉
Exactly what I was thinking and saying they say they want small government, but now want to step in this market when it’s not their place. Yeah so many players never make it to the pros because of injuries. Atleast this way they won’t have student debt and can pay to finish their degrees
I have been saying it for years! Coach getting 5million and players get nothing? One injury and I'm done! Pulleess.
then go to the NFL then
Thank you again Roland
Thank you Roland.
If those politicians try to pass any kind of law trying to stop those student athletes from profiting on there name image and likeness.I hope every college student athlete stick together and quit participating in sports and file the biggest lawsuit in the history of any lawsuit that has ever been filed against the government.
Right I would $$$ support that!!
I agree
Coaches can up and leave a school for another job but when a student does it it’s a problem.
And doesn't owe the school any money. As a matter of fact the school will pay him if he fired
And recieve multi- million dollar buyouts from these schools. One Texas college paid a coach over 50 million after he was fired.
Its called a job change not a STUDENT ATHLETE STUDENT STUDENT who when he signs his NCAA scholarship it has in there or had in there when I played you sit out a year now there in a G league call it what it is not COLLEGE FOOTBALL
So true. Facts 100%!!
@@adarrinsmith7491take away the players and there are no more games. You want to watch 60 70 year old coaches playing on the field🤣🤣🤣
The hell with Nick Saban and Ted thanks Roland
Roland telling the TRUTH 😊
Mr. Saban, can you point me to when you said “no, I’ll just take 75k for a salary, I’m more interested in the spirit of college athletics than a massive paycheck”?
Exactly!
Seriously😂😂😂
You hit the nail on the head.
I'll wait for that... lol
100%, he gets millions in money from the school, but he cares about the kids? Why not take a $300k salary and put the rest of the money into the school since he cares so much about the kids educational development?
Nick Saban is crying now because he doesn’t have total control over the players. It was alright when he was paying for 5⭐️ players under the table. He didn’t care about the athletes development when he transferred from University to University for more pay. 😭😢
Remember when Saban was bragging about how much his QB recruit was getting??? GTFO with that BS.
That's the truth!!
That's not true Coach Saban has always cared about players I know this for a fact people just hate him because he was kicking their team's butt
@@user-pg5ep8zj5m Saban quit because players was able to go to teams they wanted to play for and not worry about the small chance they will make it in the NFL. Ridely was taken in the 1st round because he played a BAMA be he was not the top WR in college, he wasn't the top 25 WR. He had only 6 receiving TDs and he get drafted ahead of James Washington, led the NCAA in receiving tds. Anthony Miller from Memphis St. top 5 in TDs, receiving yds, receiving ... Sutton top 10 WR.
So how many black coaches was in that group? 0 Because they didn't want a black coach's perspective.
@user-pg5ep8zj5m The playing field got level, and his team's were on the decline and he bolted 😂... He stacked talent from doing the very thing he's complaining about under the table. He also had the ESPN engine in his pocket to promote to these high profile kids to come and have a better chance to make it to the league... It was never about development and graduation, stop the shenanigans Nick! You're supposed to win when you're stacked with blue-chip talent down your roster and they're stuck there... Look at Georgia now and what FSU did after being complete trash before!
people from Alabama will tell you all those great players went to school there because it’s a great state and a great school 😂
Hot damn! This was a good, informative video.
How did Nick Saban develop the athletes exactly? The lies!
Julio Jones.? Mark Ingram.? Will Anderson.? Josh Gibbs.? Tua Tongavlou .? Calvin Ridely .? Derek Henry.? Man stop ✋🏾 it plz 😂😂😂😂
He did put more players in the nfl in his college coaching career and its not close ! Not regular players but stars
@@ampthefreethinker5335 big FACTZ
Yes. He put them in the nfl, but what about the ones that don't get into the nfl to make money? Don't they deserve money if their a great college player? And they'll get their degree.
Right. They always bought the best guys.
THAT MANCHIN IS A PIECE A WORK MAN !!! A GUY WHO GOT RICH IN POLITICS HAVE THE NERVE TO TALK ABOUT POOR KIDS,
NO BLACK PLAYER SHOULD GO TO ALABAMA PLANTATION ANYMORE 🕷🤦🏾
You are exactly right. Could not agree more.

Manchin in my opinion is a tool.
Will we ever get tired of making THEM rich?
Manchin’s father and family are “COAL BARRON!” Very wealthy!
Preach brother!!!
Been saying it for years that people operating the educational system are mixed up. Coaches are paid millions, some tens of millions and the students and their parents pay an arm and a leg for college. Some are still paying for student loans years down the road while coaches live lavishly? Makes no sense at all. Ridiculous!!
You are so Right Roland!!! Keep preaching!!! I'm with you on this topic 110%
I agree with your agreement, but your math is questionable lol
Maybe, but frankly I don't care what the math is......."just pay those student-athletes".....now let's go!!
Translation - Parents are saying "I can raise my own child and develop them how I see fit. Send the check and say less."
Good Show.
TELL IT ROLAND!!
Saban is really upset about the potential of Deion Sanders getting the players he had a lock on. Pure hypocrisy
I’m definitely feeling the Coach Prime affect. He needs to be in the NFL
I think you wrong on this one about Saban
Dul lard comment. There are 60+ major programs, all COMPETING for the elite high school 4-5 star athletes. They all have millions in NIL deal $ to dole out to entice prospects. It's not just Deion.
Oh shut up f with the Slime Time talk....He cannot coach at all. He was afraid to make tackles while playing. He mouth is his greatest asset period. He is head coach version of Donald Trump.
Deion echoed the same sentiments Saban has said. Yall aren't listening. Yall are commenting without comprehending. Deion and Saban are saying the exact same things. Most coaches are repeating the same words whether they are black or white
Thank you for spotlighting this Roland.
Saban is Exactly Right 💯

@@mondotv623 so where did you get your information from that stated only 4-5 star athletes get recruited to Alabama but don't play just sit on the bench if they don't like you? I'm just wondering sounds like you have inside information that needs to be reported.
and he put a gun to there heads and made them sign????
THE NCAA NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED TO THE FULLEST!.....Great show Roland!
I been saying this for years. New plantation. Happy to see the black men get some. Spend wisely.
As a former college football player, if I had a choice I wouldn’t put up with the abuse of some coaches.
When the coaches talk about a free education.. check the schools graduation rate...
Why not pay and develop at the same time and really pay those who put their bodies on the line every day
Well said. It doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive.
Well people can get keep transferring schools to get more money, that hinders development
If they don't want these coaches to complain, then they should stop firing these coaches for losing.
AMEN ROLAND!
Saban retired because he was not getting the 5 star players. Him and these coaches that are complaining make millions off the players that played for them. Now, with NIL and the portal, they have given students athletes and other colleges get the 5 star players and win championships. The playing field of college recruiting programs have changed for the better.
coaches have had the freedom to leave a job after promising/recruiting kids for decades........... saban would still/has win through nil,,but at 70 plus years old,,, his legacy is set,,, goodbye
Coach Saban didn't retire about not getting 5⭐ players he had them on his team when he retired wake up people he was ready to retire he got more NC than any coach out there please quit talking out of your feelings and speak real facts
@@user-pg5ep8zj5m He retired because he no longer had 5star players as debt on the bench, those players through NIL and the portal would go to schools where they could get paid and start. Coach Sanders said to compete in the SEC you need 4 and 5 star players on the OL and DL coming off the bench for debt. You can find play makers anywhere but you need quality debt coming of the bench. LSU lost a 4star DL who was a bench player he transferred to CU. Alabama was already paying players under the table.
First of all, I'm nowhere talking out my feelings. Let's get that clear. Nick started seeing he was not getting all the 5 star players anymore, and that is a fact. He lost players to other schools, including Deion. Schools that were never talked about the playoffs or championship game or showing up. Yes, his got a lot NCs under his belt, but let's be honest, the NIL and the portal are game changers.
@@user-pg5ep8zj5mquestion is has he won a NC since NIL. And the only reason why his team got picked up for the college football playoff apparently he convinced the playoff committee to do so since he was retiring. But nope y’all lose to Michigan and thus should have not been in the playoffs
The coaches are jealous of the players for making money.
Jealousy is primarily because Black players would benefit more than any group in America. That is the real matter.
You can learn about your true enemies by watching and listening.
Roland, get the information out. THANK YOU!
Amen roland ive been talking about this forever. Players get your money💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Facts Frat...
It's cool when they do it!
This man earned 10M a year (as a state employee) off the backs of football players and has had a beef with NIL / transfer portal since Travis Hunter picked Jackson State over Alabama. Betting is what ruined College Sports.
Exactly
And the NFL.
He actually picked Florida State, then Jackson State, when coach Prime got the job.
😂😂😂😂😂 How the Hell has Sports wagering "ruined" Sports? 90% of it is done illegally. It's the only I've ever made a dime off Sports
So if the players don’t win the big games. He don’t get paid and keep his job. So nick sit your white ass down bad of course his with fake Cancun Cruz
Alabama is the same school. That didn’t want any black players, until they started getting their a$& whooped. Also if he’s the best coach of all time how come when it’s legal to start paying players, now he wants to quit. Shows he had was just paying players to go there. Shows it wasn’t the coach, it was the money used as a cheat code.
Good points. The players will find a way to develop themselves.
11.1 million dollars and benefits and perks.
ROLAND MARTIN you hit it out the park. As a sports fan I couldn’t believe how informed you were on this subject. The NCAA is still not paying, the money comes from sponsors and business.
