In a performance on Pakinomist Channel last year, the Saban urged Congress to step in and make zero “straight everywhere.”
“And I think it should still exist for all players, but not just a pay-for-play system that we have now that the one who raises the most money in their collective can pay the most for the players, which is not levels on par. I think you in any competitive place, you want some guidelines that give everyone a good opportunity to get a chance to get success,” he said. “
Saban said NCAA “can handle” zero And no matter what changes are needed, but Congress “needs to” add “national law.”

“Now we just have state law – and every state is different – it would protect NCAA from litigation when we set guidelines for the future of college -athletics. But the trial is what got us to this point right now,” Saban said. “We need to have some protection against litigation. I don’t know if it’s antitrustlove or whatever.
“I am not preserved enough on all that to really make a recommendation. But I know that we need some kind of federal standard and guidelines that allow people to enforce their own rules.”
Last week, NCAA adopted rules that Colleges would be allowed to pay athletes as a result of a trial for Multibillion dollar that is expected to take effect this summer.
