Private meeting in Sabans office:
Little Nicky to assistants - "why aren't our fans and boosters giving millions so we can keep up with NIL", "I have to go out a rail against NIL so I don't look like a failure at something"
assistants - "you know our fans are aren't like the leading NIL schools, they are bandwagon fans that can't name a Bama head coach past you", "they are not smart enough to see that NIL can end our, I mean your, Dynasty"
Little Nicky - "Kids these days are all "Show me the money" , "they want to be rich in college and not wait there 3 years to make the NFL" , "get out there and get the boosters and fans to give, I can't retire with my recruiting classes going down"
