"I mean, we were second in recruiting last year," Saban told the audience. "A&M was first. A&M bought every player on their team -- made a deal for name, image, likeness. We didn't buy one player, all right? But I don't know if we're gonna be able to sustain that in the future because more and more people are doing it. It's tough."

That prompted a stern response from Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher, a former Saban assistant, during his signing day news conference the following day when he said that coaches spreading rumors about deals promised to recruits were "clown acts" and "irresponsible as hell."

"Hell, read about it in the paper. I mean, Jackson State paid a guy $1 million last year that was a really good Division I player to come to the school. It was in the paper, and they bragged about it. Nobody did anything about it. I mean, these guys at Miami that are going to play basketball there for $400,000, it's in the newspaper. The guy tells you how he's doing it."

Saban's comments on Miami referred to former Kansas State men's basketball player Nijel Pack, who transferred to the Hurricanes in April. Shortly after, it was announced that he signed a two-year, $400,000 NIL deal with Florida-based health tech company LifeWallet.

1. Poor, Poor Saban

I mean, the guy is a winner, but he is also a big crybaby. Always has been.

2. And how much has Saban personally profited off the athletes he has coached?

3. Aggies Suck 😂😆🤣 Roll Tide!!

The TEXAS A & M football team was placed in a remedial English class. The professor asked the class, "Does anyone know what comes after a sentence?'

All of the players raised their hands. "The appeal," they shouted with pride.


A TEXAS A&M football player was almost killed in a tragic horseback-riding accident. He fell from the horse and was nearly trampled to death. Thank God the manager of the K-Mart came out and unplugged it.

What are the best four years of a TEXAS A&M student's life?

Third grade.

Why don't Aggies eat barbecue beans?

Because they keep falling through the holes in the grill.

5. Another one:

The baker asked the Aggie if he wanted his pie cut into 8 slices or six.

The Aggie replied, "Six. I don't believe I could eat eight."
