CNN —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 (TX).
“I’m for student athletes being able to share in some of this revenue.
Second, committ to work with their peer institutions in this subdivision to create rules that may differ from the rules in place for the rest of Division I.
At the conclusion of the roundtable, Saban again expressed his worry for the future of college sports.
