“Someone with one of the best corners in the nation (in high school) came to me and asked if we’d pay them $800,000 for the player to sign here. I told him he can find another place to play,” Saban said, according to Baker High School (Mobile) coach Steve Normand, who was there.
“I’m not paying a kid a bunch of NIL money before he earns it,” Normand said Saban added.

“Yes, he did say that,” Norman told OutKick on Saturday morning. “Coach Saban was talking about that and how there has to be more regulations with NIL and how the NCAA needs more ways and means to control it because it’s getting out of hand.”….

…..When asked about the portal, Curtis confirmed that Saban said this: “We lost 10 players and one starter to the portal this year. One of them wanted $500,000 and for us to get his girlfriend into law school at Alabama and pay for it. I showed him the door.”

Not letting him out of his LOI would have scared away future recruits. The athletes have the leverage now.
