Saban Weighs In On Trump's Potential College Sports Commission

Nick Saban, the recently retired head coach from Alabama, has responded to buzz about his possible involvement in a new college sports commission, rumored to be spearheaded by none other than former President Donald Trump! This commission would reportedly tackle the hot-button issue of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) regulations in college athletics.

"I Don't Really Know Much About This"

Saban, speaking at the Regions Tradition pro-am golf tournament, admitted he's heard the whispers but hasn't received a formal invitation to join. Reports had even suggested Saban could co-chair the commission.

"To be honest," Saban told reporters, "I don’t really know much about this commission. I don’t really know what this commission would do. I think we know what needs to be done. I just think we’ve got to figure out who’s got the will to do it."

Saban: Always Willing to Help College Football

Ever the strategist, Saban added, "I’ve learned one thing about coaching for all these years that when you get into a subject like this that’s very complex, it’s probably good not to talk about it off the cuff. So I’ll find out more about it."

However, he made his stance clear: "If there’s something that I can do to help college football be better, I’m always going to be committed to do that. I was committed to do that as a coach, to help players be more successful in life. And I would continue to do the same thing now."
