Maybe the NCAA will listen to Nick Saban and Kirby Smart.
“ INDIANAPOLIS -- Alabama head coach Nick Saban and Georgia head coach Kirby Smart both called for increased regulation on Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) deals for college athletes during their joint College Football Playoff news conferences Sunday.
Without more regulation, Saban and Smart said the same teams are going to continue to dominate college football.
Right at the top of that list are Alabama and Georgia, who meet Monday for the national title for the second time in the last five years. Alabama is vying for its sixth national title in the last 11 years.
"You're going to have the haves and have nots, and the separation that is already there is going to grow larger," Smart said. "The schools that have the capacity and the ability and are more competitive in the NIL market are going to be schools that step ahead on top of other schools. So I don't want (recruiting) decisions to be based on that, but ultimately a lot of young men want to make their decision based on that."
