Who's Pimping Who?

So im setting back watching sportcenter, and saw the clip of University of Alabama's football coach Nick Saban using a analogy that Sports Agents are pimps. Because of the allegations of some of his players accepting money/gifts. The NCAA has been having a huge problem with agents coming on campuses and trying to recurit serious pro potentional prospects, in order to gain the players trust and hopefully, get the player to sign with their respective sports agency.

I thought Nick Saban comments were funny epsecially coming from him, the same man that will ditch a school or pro team as soon as another opportunity presents itself while preaching loyaty, commitment, and dedication to his players and the media.

Now i've seen American Pimp Documentary a while back and the Pimps don't give money to their prostitutes, Nick Saban has it all wrong when referred to agents as pimps. But lets take a look at the NCAA and schools that benefit the most when the player is enrolled at said school, with the players that brings in millions of dollars to the schools, you name from their jersey's being sold in the bookstores to EA sports video games using their physical likeness in the game, and without the player being payed or compensated, so my question is who's pimping who?
