## Resource

Nick Saban is going to save college football. And with the federal government's help. Tat's a sure bet, right? Nick Saban testified before the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee this week about college sports in an ongoing effort to protect competition and support student athletes. The former Alabama coach has become the face of this college athletics reform. He said the bill creates competitive balance, parity, and an opportunity to have a framework to build a fair-play system. Is he right? And is Saban the messenger college sports need for something to change? AL.com reporter and columnist Michael Casagrande joins "Beat Everyone" to break it all down! Learn more about your ad choices.
