Alabama head coach Nick Saban expressed his belief Monday that college football players would be better off amid the COVID-19 pandemic by staying with their respective teams as the 2020 season appears to be in jeopardy.
ESPN's Chris Low shared Saban's comments on the matter:
"I want to play, but I want to play for the players' sake, the value they can create for themselves. I know I'll be criticized no matter what I say, that I don't care about player safety. Look, players are a lot safer with us than they are running around at home.
