I hope Nick uses his retirement bully pulpit to tell the public what NIL money and the transfer portal have done to college sports. The rot has percolated down to high schools where it's now OK for an athlete to engage an agent to maximize $$. Something has to moderate this madness. The NCAA needs to take a leadership position and come up with reasonable guardrails.

Saban did an episode with David Feherty, the golf guy, a couple of years ago, talking about life and leadership and Saban's role in molding character. Remarkable man unless your alma mater got regularly creamed by Alabama. I'm glad he stepped down at the peak of his game. How did LSU ever let this guy get away? Maybe the same way Texas A&M let Paul Bryant get away??
