Nick Saban may not be stalking the sidelines during Alabama football games, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t still passionate college football. The ESPN analyst for “College GameDay” remains vocal about NIL, and he shared those thoughts Thursday with U.S. Sen. Katie Britt at Faulkner University’s annual fundraising dinner.

Lynch, who has been better known as "Beast Mode" for the past decade, is among the most charismatic people in the world of football, celebrated for his hilarious catchphrases and overall unpredictable nature. He will be back in town this week as California hosts GameDay ahead of their matchup with the Miami Hurricanes on Saturday.

Saban has been a welcome addition to "GameDay," but he has a lot of work to do on what’s actually happening with the economics of the sport.
