Good catch Bobby, and exactly what I thought when I read the quote. They are all doing it. I also find it amusing that he's ok with portal tampering but NIL 'free agency' is the debil. I guess he is like most, it's good when it benefits you and bad when it doesn't.
It’s pretty obvious when a guy hits the portal and his nil deal is worked out and signed within 24 hours.
Since retroactively giving back trophies is a thing we’ll gladly accept the 1984 and 1990 SEC championships back to UF. Thank you.
He's really only that to the people absolutely 100% convinced he was paying players- negotiating deals. But in reality, you saw how many hit the portal when he left. Tells me they weren't being paid but wanted to play for Nick Saban.
And the fact that he talks about so openly might be reflective of the rumors he has the onset on dementia.

They still have it over at the UAA somewhere....they should put it back in the case where it belongs.
Still???? You do know that Saban left AFTER NIL was legal. Those dudes were DEFINITELY getting paid. They just wanted more.
