                                If you were surprised by this one, we’d like to sell you the NIL rights to the Brooklyn Bridge.

Confirming the report that President Trump will be forming a commission on college sports, TheAthletic.com reports that former Alabama (and Michigan State and LSU and Miami Dolphins) coach Nick Saban will be named the commission’s co-chair.

The other co-chair is expected to be a “prominent businessman with deep ties to college athletics.”

The development should raise crimson flags for the players who have finally secured the freedoms that they had been wrongfully denied for years. Under the guise of fixing a problem that a corrupt system created, the commission undoubtedly will work to re-tilt the playing field in favor of the institutions — to the detriment of the kids who play the college sports that generate the revenue.

Saban’s point of view on the matter has been abundantly clear. Before resigning from his job as the head coach at Alabama, Saban said to himself, ‘Maybe this doesn’t work anymore, that the goals and aspirations are just different and that it’s all about how much money can I make as a college player?’”
