SEC looking into Alabama's use of Apple watches

The SEC is exploring whether Alabama will be able to continue using Apple watches to monitor its football players' physical activities during the league-mandated shutdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic, sources told ESPN on Friday.
quote:
During a conference call with reporters Thursday, Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said his program had provided Apple watches to players, and that new strength and conditioning coaches David Ballou and Matt Rhea were "very instrumental in setting up this whole program of what we're doing with the players in terms of the Apple watches for their workouts and apps on their phones for weight-training programs.

Some other FBS coaches weren't sure that the NCAA's mandates for strength and conditioning during the shutdown permitted the Crimson Tide to utilize Apple watches.
During a conference call with reporters Friday, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said he didn't believe monitoring devices like Apple watches was permitted.
"I don't know, maybe [Alabama] got a different interpretation or something," Swinney said. "There are a lot of different interpretations out there right now."
Earlier this week, Texas coach Tom Herman also expressed frustration about the uncertainty surrounding what programs can send their players. The Big 12 told its schools that it could only send items like nutritional supplements and light training devices to players, while teams from other leagues are sending boxed meals to players who were on university meal plans.
"The one thing that has me and other coaches in the Big 12 a little upset and a little confused is the ability to send your players workout equipment and tracking devices," Herman said. "They've really restricted that moving forward, but yet other conferences have had two weeks of shipping this stuff out to their players. Are they going to make those players send it back? We've got to figure out how to level the playing field as far as that's concerned."

It would be Herman and Dabo doing the whining.
Some things never change.

Saban has always cheated. The NCAA has no balls. LSU should cheat to because you can be sure the NCAA will not tell A1abama to stop.

Unless it was expressly prohibited, I have no idea why any coach from a Power 5 conference would complain. Get on board and make the most of what you've got. It's not like they're poor.

Uh ohhhhh!
Cheating during a global crisis? BAD look!
Wow.
Winning that Citrus Bowl and losing big Scotty Cochran has made Coach Sabah desperate!

Is this where we call Saban a gangster and brag about how he shite all over the NCAA?

Not true.
Ed O is 1-1 in the Citrus Bowl in the last five years.

These people have too much free time on their hands. Who cares if they do give them the watches? Smart watches are great for workouts, especially cardio.

Not that long ago.

Ed used to own property in the Citrus Bowl.
He sold it to the little cheater.
And be glad he did, because without that you wouldn’t have a ranked win in years.

Cool.
Saban still owns Tiger Stadium so he'll live.
Ed O is 0-2 against Saban there being outscored 39-0 in those two games.
Also, Ed O has more appearances in the Citrus Bowl than any other bowl game.
Saban, on the other hand, has more appearances in the Sugar Bowl than any other bowl game.

We own that cesspool of broke by Bama garbage.

I guess I'd rather O had gotten to the Citrus Bowl in his first season at LSU as head coach.
Unlike the Independence Bowl like Saban.
