In an appearance in Pak Gazette Channel last year, Saban urged Congress to intervene and make him void “the same in all areas.”
“And I think that should still exist for all players, but not just a game payment system as we have done now, where who collects the greatest amount of money in their collective can pay more for the players, which is not a leveling playing field. I think that in any competitive place, you want to have some guidelines that provide everyone to have the opportunity to succeed,” he said.
Saban said the NCAA “can handle” null And the necessary changes, but the Congress “needs” add “national legislation.”

“Now, we only have state legislation, and each state is different, which would protect the NCAA from the litigation once we establish guidelines for the future of university athletics. But litigation is what led us to this point at this time,” Saban said. “We have to have some protection against litigation. I don’t know if they are antitrust laws or whatever.
“I am not well versed in all that to 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, the NCAA approved the rules by which universities could pay athletes as a result of a multimillionaire demand agreement that is expected to enter into force this summer.
