See what Nick Saban thinks of the Big Ten movement away from games against FCS teams
quote:
“I’m for five conferences – everybody playing everybody in those five conferences,” the Alabama coach said Thursday night before speaking at a Crimson Caravan stop. “That’s what I’m for, so it might be 70 teams, and everybody’s got to play ’em. …”
“I mean, strength of schedule is important, but also, how about the fans? Don’t they want to see good games and all that?
“And the better the games – maybe you don’t have to win every game to be in the championship game. You know? The Giants won the Super Bowl, and what did they lose? Six or seven games a couple years ago? It’s called competition.”

Yep, that's been his stance for a while now.

His fear of Kevin Sumlin is so delicious.

Saw a tweet from Feldman saying Saban "doesn't have time to read what Bob stoops thinks"

Good. Maybe he can convince Battle that we need to stop bringing in tomato cans for 11:30 am beat downs that nobody cares about.

There is the foul stench of hypocrisy and mendacity in Saban's words. I'm sorely disappointed in him. Was thinking of naming him my hero.

I agree.
I say 6 conferences, ten teams each.
Ten games a year with a round robin schedule. Winner of each conference gets into the playoffs with a few wild cards.
