The new name, image and likeness policy of the NCAA may not be a good idea for Alabama head coach Nick Saban.

The reason Texas A&M finished first in recruiting last year was because the school bought every player on their team, according to the man.

According to Mike Rodak, the Alabama coach said Wednesday.

"I know the consequence is going to be difficult for the people who are spending tons of money to get players. You read about it, you know who they are. We were second in recruiting last year. A&M was first. A&M bought every player on their team. Made a deal for name, image and likeness.
“We didn’t buy one player. Aight? But I don’t know if we’re going to be able to sustain that in the future, because more and more people are doing it. It’s tough.”
