Multiple members of the sports world reacted unfavorably to Nick Saban stating Deion Sanders and Jackson State paid a player one million dollars to join their program.
Here are a few of those reactions.

Two things in life can be true:
1. Nick Saban is the greatest college football coach any of us have seen
2. He came off looking bad tonightYou can’t brag about Bryce Young making 7-figures before he ever made a start at Alabama – then throw out the accusations he did tonight

Nick Saban politicking the NCAA to do his bidding so his program can continue running a monopoly knowing the NCAA will look the other way when it comes to Alabama. This is a pathetic look. https://t.co/N16wVXJqp3
