US EditionDeion Sanders calls for paying players who reach the playoff and Saban supports the proposal
Deion Sanders and Nick Saban support structured playoff bonuses to improve fairness and compensation for college football players amid recent $20.5 million NIL deals, officials said.
- Earlier this year, Deion Sanders proposed paying players for making the College Football Playoff and increasing pay for wins during the unveiling of a new Aflac commercial.
- Since July 1, policy changes have allowed schools to pay up to 20 athletes each alongside third-party NIL deals, while conferences receive $4 million for making the 12-team playoff, with payments rising each round.
- Saban argued that "For years and years and years as coaches, and when we were players, we learned this, we're trying to create value for our future," while Deion Sanders proposed payments ensuring "now it's equality, now it's even and every player is making the same amount of money," framing the debate bluntly.
- Both coaches agreed that Sanders and Nick Saban see the need for clearer deal structures, with playoff qualification tying payments to performance since 'there's no guaranteed playoff spot.'
- Saban, now an ESPN analyst, noted the NFL-style playoff bonus concept sounded good as Sanders, recovered from bladder cancer, walked over a mile after practice ahead of Friday's opener against Georgia Tech.
