"President Donald Trump is considering an executive order aimed at greater scrutiny towards name, image, and likeness deals in college athletics following a meeting with former Alabama football coach Nick Saban," Cameron Salerno wrote. "Saban, a vocal critic of NIL's impact on college athletics, reportedly proposed NIL "reform" rather than elimination."
"One specific situation that reportedly sparked Saban's concern was the Nico Iamaleava situation that recently transpired. While the exact changes Saban is advocating for remain unclear, it's evident he's working behind the scenes to help reshape and preserve the future of college sports. Now, it remains to see if the meeting works and Trump is going to go through with it."

Cookston does not mention that Kirby Smart has spoken with Trump and Saban at length. Currently, some members of the US Congress have floated the idea of Coaches like Smart get huge pay cuts--in Kirby's case a $10 million a year pay cut. Congress wants to pick winners and losers and determine how much each 'coach', down to the level of GAs, can earn.
That philosophy does not smell like Teen Spirit- more like Socialistic predation.
