Since the beginning of the season, Alabama head coach Nick Saban has been an advocator of the college sports bubble created on each university campus. The meticulously planned out scheduling keeping each player in line acts as a line of defense against COVID-19 as it shortens each player’s exposure.
But the biggest concern of any team is when they allow their players to travel home.
Especially for the holidays.
Unlike some teams in the College Football Playoff, Saban allowed his players to go home for the holidays last week and then return to Tuscaloosa to prepare for the game.
