Nick Saban pushes for players to 'unionize,' has 'no problem' with athletes being paid as employees

Whenever Nick Saban steps to a podium, he commands the attention of the college football world, and his recent comments at the SEC spring meetings were no exception. 

On Tuesday, Saban suggested college football adopt a pay structure similar to the model that exists in the NFL.

Saban specifically pushed for the creation of some type of union at the collegiate level. 

"I have no problem," Saban said, via CBS Sports. "I mean, unionize it. Make it like the NFL. It's going to be the same for everyone. I think that's better than what we have now."
