Nick Saban’s daughter Kristen Saban makes her stance clear on NIL & transfer portal - “College football has been altered drastically"

Nick Saban's daughter Kristen Saban understands that modern-day college football is different from what it was a few years back. With the change in rules and regulations for NIL deals and the transfer portal, NCAA athletes have more accessibility and can make money during their collegiate careers.

During a recent Q&A session on her Instagram, Nick Saban's daughter was questioned about the current scenario of NIL deals and the transfer portal. Kristen said that the game of college football has changed drastically in the past few years.

"I feel strongly about it all. I think the game of college football has really been altered drastically," Kristen said. "I don't know if it's for the better or for the worse, but from a personal standpoint I don't see it as the best. Things change over time, I get it. You have to adapt to the changing times but it's difficult to watch something that was once so great turn into something else.

"You can agree or disagree, but that's where I stand after seeing the huge changes that have come about after being around this game for 33 years of my life. It's not just the same anymore," she added.

Kristen grew up around the football scene. After spending the past 17 years in Tuscaloosa and watching her father coach the Crimson Tide, she is bound to feel the changes that have taken over in the past few years.

Nick Saban's daughter is looking forward to interacting with Kalen DeBoer's children

During the same Q&A session, Kristen revealed that she had yet to meet the DeBoer family after Kalen DeBoer was announced as the new Alabama Crimson Tide head coach. Kristen said she wouldn't mind having a girl chat with DeBoer's daughters Alexis and Avery, and provide them with some insights into everything related to Alabama.

"I haven't met the family yet, but if his daughters want to have a girl chat about all things Bama, I'm here for them."

Despite Coach Saban's retirement, Kristen is not planning on shifting from Alabama anytime soon since her son also goes to school here.
