Broadcasting legend Verne Lundquist shared his thoughts on why legendary Alabama football coach Nick Saban decided to call it quits after the 2023-24 collegiate season.
It shocked everyone when Saban retired from coaching after leading his team to the College Football Playoff following an SEC Championship win over Georgia.
Lundquist, who called college football for years prior to stepping away from CBS’ coverage in 2016, believes that name, image and likeness – better known as NIL – led to Saban’s retirement.
