Nick Saban revealed he had no problem with college football players unionizing and making college football ‘like the NFL’ at the SEC spring meetings last month.

Saban doubled down on those thoughts in a recent interview with Fox Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt.
“It never scares me that people are organized,” Saban said. “I think there’s some good in that. I think General Motors and the automotive industry has had unions for a long time and they survived fairly well, I think. But there’s a lot of people who are a little skeptical, and I can understand why: that you make college student-athletes employees. And I think when you organize them, that’s maybe what the ultimate result may be. I can’t honestly say that I’m qualified to know exactly what the cause and effect of that would really be.”
