ICYMI: Is The Release Of Maurice Smith Setting A Dangerous Precedent?
I didn’t think Coach Nick Saban would give in on the Maurice Smith deal and I was wrong. After a night to sleep on it, I can see clearly the reasons why.
Cecil Hurt with The Tuscaloosa News was the first to break the news that Alabama football had granted Smith a full release to pursue a transfer with no limitations on where he goes.
Now, it’s left in the hands of the Southeastern Conference offices. I think Saban believed the conference office would speak up soon after everything concerning this got started, but they never did.
