6-5-26 Hinkle Law Offices Top Five - Canty calls out Saban for his stance on NIL

Nick Saban went to Capitol Hill to speak out about the future of college football, NIL, the transfer portal, and the growing concerns around the current state of college athletics. On this edition of Last Call, Mick Gillispie and former Alabama quarterback Jake Coker react to Saban's testimony and discuss whether college sports has moved too far toward a pay-for-play model.

Should college football have salary caps, transfer limits, stronger regulations, and a return to more regional rivalries? Mick and Jake break down why Saban believes college athletics needs structure before the sport changes forever. The conversation also turns to the college baseball tournament, where Alabama, Auburn, and Troy are making noise in the postseason. The guys discuss the impact of St. John's upsetting Florida State, what it means for Alabama Baseball's path forward, and why the future of Olympic sports could be in danger if football's revenue model continues to shift.

And is Saban the messenger college sports need for something to change? AL.com reporter and columnist Michael Casagrande joins "Beat Everyone" to break it all down! Learn more about your ad choices.

In this June Q&A episode, we open up the Verballer mailbag and start looking ahead to preview season with some early college football summer loves. Which teams are we already talking ourselves into before the magazines arrive? Which programs are interesting, dangerous, confusing or just fun enough to pique our interest as the 2026 season gets closer? We also dig into first-time College Football Playoff possibilities, the rising risk of major transfer portal investments, and whether Curt Cignetti’s championship run at Indiana was more impressive than anything Nick Saban or Kirby Smart ever did in a single season. Plus, we talk through what fans of rebuilding teams should actually look for in Year 1, why playoff expansion arguments still feel slippery, and which players or teams are perfect for showing off at a June cookout. And, naturally, the episode eventually drifts into Brendan Fraser playing Dwight Eisenhower in a D-Day weather drama, bad old predictions, Drake Lindsey discourse, Arkansas despair, and Dan’s ongoing effort to make Ty regret his phrasing.

Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart made waves with his comments about the state of modern college football — and Mick Gillespie and former Alabama quarterback Jake Coker are breaking it all down. Smart said the elite Alabama teams from 2012–2015 would “beat the dog out of” today's college football teams because of one major difference: depth. He believes the game itself has not changed as much as the rosters have, with today's programs forced to play younger, less-developed players because NIL, the transfer portal, and roster turnover have made it harder to build long-term depth. Jake Coker gives his perspective as a former Alabama quarterback who played under Nick Saban and lived the “Saban Standard” firsthand. Coker discusses how NIL and the transfer portal have changed the culture of college football, why he believes the sport now feels more like “semi-pro football,” and how the loss of player development, senior leadership, and locker-room brotherhood has changed the way championship teams are built. The conversation also dives into Coker's memories of Alabama practices under Nick Saban and Scott Cochran, including the extreme physicality, mental toughness, and internal accountability that separated the Crimson Tide during its dynasty run. Coker also shares a classic story about one of Saban's most intense practice rants and how Alabama's championship culture was built from the inside out. Are Kirby Smart and Jake Coker right? Would the best Alabama teams from the Saban dynasty dominate today's college football? Or has NIL, the transfer portal, and modern roster management simply changed the sport forever? Topics include:

   A report on Sunday indicates Travis Kelce has decided to come back for a 14th season but says he and his agent may be shopping around to play for somebody other than the Chiefs.  Seems unlikely but I think we'd understand why.    KCI was evacuated due to a bomb threat Sunday as would be passengers poured out of the terminal and planes onto the tarmac, the streets and cell phone lots.  It was a crazy scene.    Iran has chosen the son of the former Supreme Leader to take charge.  This seems like a death wish.  Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer just unloads on President Obams for his hateful speech at Jesse Jackson's funeral and it didn't sit well with Jackson's son, either.   The conference tournaments are set in KC and Nashville for our area basketball teams.  It starts after a scathing column by a writer in Arizona that can't believe the tourney is in KC every year.    USA Baseball is rolling in the World Baseball Classic and has games against Mexico and Italy the next two nights.  17 Royals are playing in the tournament.   A former runningback at Alabama calls out Nick Saban.   Charlie Woods is the highest priced college golfer and the worlds largest flashlight is changing the eco system in our Final Final.

Nick Saban as college football's commissioner? Brian Smith lays out a bold vision for saving the sport, arguing only a leader of Saban's reputation can restore order amid NIL, transfer portal chaos, and rampant tampering. Drawing parallels to the NFL's disciplined approach, the show proposes automatic penalties—scholarship losses, hefty fines, and strict transfer rules—to end the current “wild west” era. Key topics include enforceable rules for NIL collectives, revenue sharing discrepancies (with examples like LSU's big signing class and Nike's NIL-sponsored programs), and playoff expansion rumors swirling between the SEC and Big Ten. Brian Smith explores potential leadership dream teams, including Urban Meyer, Don Staley, and even NFL executives, insisting that political interference only breeds bias. Is college football ready for real accountability—or will the chaos continue? Don't miss this provocative take on the future of the sport.
