Deion Sanders warns Saban, ‘I’m not the one to play with.’

Deion Sanders and Nick Saban exchange massive shots.

Alabama head coach Nick Saban caused quite the uproar this week for some of his comments regarding the current direction of college football and their NIL laws. While Coach Saban did say that Texas A&M and Jackson State had paid players, he never accused them of cheating. Nonetheless, these two programs did not take it well and both have fired back.

Jackson State, a Historically Black College and University (HBCU), landed the No. 1 overall commit in the 2022 class in defensive back, Travis Hunter. Saban said of Hunter and JSU,  “I mean, Jackson State paid a guy a million dollars last year that was a really good Division I player to come to school. It was in the paper and they bragged about it. Nobody did anything about it.”

First was Texas A&M Head Coach Jimbo Fisher who called a press conference Thursday morning to unload the clip on Saban. Deion Sanders joined shortly after.

Sanders was very hurt by what Saban said and wants to have a public conversation about the comments that he made. Sanders also went on to say, “I don’t even wear a watch and I know what time it is. They forget I know who’s been bringing the bag and dropping it off. I know this stuff. I’m not the one you want to play with when it comes to all of this stuff.”

Saban and Sanders have appeared in Aflac commercials together before so it will be very interesting to see how these two hash out the beef.
