Texas A&M Wanted SEC To Punish Nick Saban For Comments Made About Buying Players, Emails Show
The punishment for Nick Saban in regards to calling out Texas A&M for allegedly buying its recruiting class could've been worse if the Aggies got According to the emails, Texas A&M was looking for the SEC to suspend or fine the Alabama head coach.

After Nick Saban made his statement in Birmingham, saying that the Aggies ‘bought every player’ in the 2022 recruiting class, Texas A&M president M. Katherine Banks, Athletics Director Ross Bjork and SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey exchanged emails about the path forward, the morning of May 19.
Part of the email obtained by On3 stated that the SEC should look into punishing Saban with monetary or participation penalties.
“Coach Saban’s statement is false, beneath the dignity of the SEC, and corrosive to the fabric of sportsmanship in college football as a whole and especially within the SEC. We expect the league to take strong, public action against Coach Saban and the University of Alabama to demonstrate that such unprofessionalism and disrespect for Texas A&M’s student-athletes, coaches, and the university as a whole, will not be tolerated.”
Towards the end of the email, Aggies made it clear that the league should consider other avenues of punishment.
“The league should also consider monetary and participation penalties against Coach Saban,” the Aggies further stated.
There are days when I don't think the Aggies are that bad and this is one of them. I agree wholeheartedly as I think Saban should be suspended for 3 games and be fined 150K.
