A home-and-home between Alabama football and West Virginia is a big deal. The future scheduled series between the Crimson Tide and Notre Dame and Texas should be bigger but they are not. West Virginia and Crimson Tide games are bigger because of Nick Saban.
Alabama football fans are already making plans for Morgantown, WV in the fall of 2026 when Nick Saban takes his team home. Home, of course, being the state of his birth and young life. It will become one of the hardest regular season tickets to score ever for Tide fans. There will be plenty of Nick Saban fans from inside the state of West Virginia in attendance as well.
