Annual Crimson Caravan spring Nick Saban speaking tour 'on hold' for 2016

The annual spring barnstorming tour featuring Nick Saban will not occur this year.

The Crimson Caravan, which drew hundreds of fans at each event, will not take place in 2016.

"We're putting it on hold this year while we consider what we've done in the past and some possibilities for the future," said Alabama athletics director Bill Battle in a written statement to AL.com.

Tickets last year were priced between $60 and $75 with top donors getting access to a VIP room and photos with Saban. Other coaches made appearances at the various stops. Saban remained the headliner and appeared at each stop, arriving by private plane and returning to Tuscaloosa immediately following each stop.
