For years he did advocate for a 9 game sec schedule. Why he changed I don’t know


Well it’s obvious imho. Alabama was rumored to get AU/UT/LSU as permanent rivals. They would have been the only program to have three big6 programs locked in every year. Everyone else would have a cupcake locked in.

Saban isn’t paid 9mil a year to put Bama in a bad position. It’s a competitive imbalance that he rightly pointed out.

But when the competitive imbalance benefited Alabama y’all defended it and said we were scared.

Now suddenly y’all want a balanced schedule.

Amazing!

It changes every decade and Bama deserves a real schedule for the next decade.
