Alabama head coach Nick Saban laments the historic rivalries and traditions that will disappear because of realignment in college football.
In each instance, Saban believes the region-based conferences that existed with former iterations of the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC were overlooked, as well as the overall well-being of student-athletes in football and other sports.
"Whether it's good, bad or indifferent for college football – I guess you have to define what is good and bad for college football," Saban said."I think one thing I would just hope that we would keep in mind in all the choices and decisions we make relative to what we do in college athletics is the student-athlete.""They're here to get an education. We try to help them develop careers on and off the field," he said.
