I'm not here to debate the merits of playing in the spring but take anything that anyone in the SEC (including Sabag) says with a grain of salt. They'll all flip on a dime if they have to and will pretend as if they never said anything contrary in the past. That's how cults work. And all the media that surrounds them are full-borne members.
Truth.
Look, I want to play football in the Fall, but Saban is just a big dirtbag. He is denigrating Spring football as "JV" when, what, several dozen draft-eligible seniors would opt out? F that guy. He doesn't even have final numbers on the guys who are opting out of the Fall football season. Again, I don't want to see a bunch of opt-outs, but if these 20-year-old athletes continue to see "outbreak" stories like you have at North Carolina, we might start to see a surge of opt-outs even for the Fall.
And then what will Little Nicky say? "Oh, remember that time I said it will be JV football if a batch of seniors opt out? Yeah, well I didn't mean that for FALL football, even though we have a bunch of opt-outs too."
