Former Alabama head football coach Nick Saban addressed growing speculation Wednesday about his possible involvement in a new college sports commission reportedly being formed by President Donald Trump to address issues surrounding name, image, and likeness (NIL) rules.

Saban, speaking at the Regions Tradition pro-am golf tournament, confirmed he had heard about the effort but said he has not yet been formally asked to participate.

Further reporting indicated Trump’s intention to create a commission on college sports to help to solve the issue and that Saban was going to be one of the co-chairs of the commission.

“To be honest with you, I don’t really know much about this commission,” he told reporters. “I don’t really know what this commission would do. I think we know what needs to be done. I just think we’ve got to figure out who’s got the will to do it…I’ve learned one thing about coaching for all these years that when you get into a subject like this that’s very complex, it’s probably good not to talk about it off the cuff. So I’ll find out more about it.”

“If there’s something that I can do to help college football be better, I’m always going to be committed to do that. I was committed to do that as a coach, to help players be more successful in life. And I would continue to do the same thing now,” Saban said.
