Alabama football has implemented the use of Apple Watches to track player training in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused schools to shut down their offseason workout programs.

That brings up the question of whether the practice violates the NCAA's Division I COVID-19 Question and Answer Guide, which states that teams "may not supervise or conduct such workouts" and that student-athletes "may not report voluntary athletically related activities to institutional coaches or staff members," via ESPN's Mark Schlabach.

The SEC is reportedly exploring whether the Crimson Tide will be allowed to continue their usage.
