Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher took part in a press conference Thursday to discuss comments made from Alabama head coach Nick Saban.
On Wednesday, Saban discussed Texas A&M, accusing the Aggies’ program of buying student-athletes in recruiting.
“We were second in recruiting last year, A&M was first,” Saban said. “A&M bought every player on their team, made a deal for name, image and likeness. We didn’t buy one player, but I don’t know if we’re going to be able to sustain that in the future because more and more people are doing it.”
The Southeastern Conference has a bylaw in place that refrains coaches and administrators from public criticism of other member institutions, staffs or players.
