Seven-time national champion coach Nick Saban discusses the implications of student-athlete compensation and how name, image and likeness deals could impact the future of college sports on ‘Special Report.’

Pat McAfee really wanted to make sure Nick Saban was well-fed during ESPN’s "College GameDay" on Saturday.
