Nick Saban, Alabama football makes a change in COVID testing protocol

To continue promoting safety and peace of mind for its student-athletes, Nick Saban and the University of Alabama football program has made some changes to its Coronavirus testing protocol.

Earlier in the summer, it was the first collegiate program testing players three times a week.

While it was very successful, Saban wants to assure the team that he has its best interest at heart. For that, he shared one of the internal things the Crimson Tide has done this offseason. Alabama has transitioned to performing daily tests on players.

“It is best for the players,” Saban said on Wednesday.
