NEW: Nick Saban says NIL wasn't his reason for retirement, instead it was his age:
"That’s not why I got out of coaching. We had three years of this, you know, my last three years. I coached in the NFL, so I was used to managing the salary cap and that type of thing."
Saban added: "The one thing I didn’t want to do is ride the program down. And once you get a certain age, people start using that against you in recruiting and your ability to attract the kind of players that you want to attract."

NEW: Florida's Jon Sumrall refers to Tuesday as "Bloody Tuesday" and his "game day":
"We got a great indoor here. On Tuesdays, we don’t use the damn indoor. I don’t want anybody going in the indoor on Tuesday. We’re going to be outside. I hope it’s hot. Tuesdays have to be physical and violent, and you gotta strain, or you don’t know how to play way on Saturday."

The Senate is currently voting on last-minute Protect College Sports Act amendments.
Sen. Rand Paul proposed giving the NCAA full antitrust immunity that would allow it to go back to pure amateurism with unpaid athletes.
As of this tweet the unofficial tally is "Yea 1, Nay 87."
This is hysterical. One of many reasons this bill will never pass and it's becoming a clown show. Another reason Government does not need to be in college sports.
Cory Booker's amendment implements restrictions on coaches that mirror the bill's athlete limitations, sources tell @YahooSports: (1) requiring them to sit a season for 2nd job move; (2) subjecting their NIL deals to NIL Go; (3) salary cap of $5M; (4) buyout cap of 1 year salary.

NEW: Miami OC Shannon Dawson takes a shot at the SEC and says there shouldn’t be rankings until October:
"Everything's SEC, SEC. They have all their teams in the top 25. Good for you. At the end of the year, half of them will be in the top 30. We can’t sit here and say, ‘hey, we play X number of top-25 teams’. We’ll count those chips up at the end of the year."
