The dust may have settled a little bit since Nick Saban accused Texas A&M of buying recruits, but the higher ups in the programs are not letting it go.
According to On3 Sports, Texas A&M president Katherine Banks and director of athletics Ross Bjork sent a letter to SEC commissioner Greg Sankey and requested several punishments that should be issued for Nick Saban.
They not only want Saban to apologize publicly to Texas A&M, but also added more punishment requests.
“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,” the letter said.
“A public apology from Coach Saban to Coach Fisher, Aggie Football, and Texas A&M University is a good starting point, but the league should also consider monetary and participation penalties against Coach Saban.”
Fisher objected to Saban’s statement the morning after the comments were made, during an incredible 10-minute rant that looked like something out of the WWE.

“It’s despicable that we have to sit here at this level of ball and say these things to defend the people of this organization, the kids, 17-year-old kids and their families,” Fisher said. “It’s amazing. Some people think they’re God. Go dig into how God did his deal. You may find out about a lot of things you don’t want to know.”
The feud between the two national championship-winning coaches has ramped up since the Aggies topped Alabama 41-38 last year in College Station. That win by Fisher marked the first time in 25 tries that a former Saban assistant defeated the legendary Crimson Tide coach.
