“The one thing we can do is that we can make each state be at the same level [for NIL money]… now, between that, we need to come up with some rules for transfer portals and possible contracts for players, all the things that make college football the biggest sport ever. We do not want to turn into less league sports. We can do things we just have to get it gone, ”he told 109.9 the game in Tuscaloosa on Wednesday.
Tuberville, however, accused the Democrats of the continued Virvevind, which is the current atmosphere of college sports.
“I think we can get it on the floor, the problem is to get it past a democracy group that really doesn’t want anything to do with making this country better. They don’t care about university sports or education, they care about the power they control in this country. It’s a hard way to go, but if anyone can get it done, it’s President Trump, and hopefully we can have some discussion Sports, ”he said.
