Saban accused Texas A+M of buying their new recruits with NIL money. A+M has the best recruiting class for next season in football.

"Saban also singled out Jackson State in his comments, saying the school paid Travis Hunter, a five-star prospect who flipped his commitment from Florida State and signed with the HBCU program during the early signing period in December, $1 million to join the program. Jackson State coach Deion Sanders denied the rumor that Hunter had been offered more than $1 million."
