Saban not in favor of changing SEC transfer rules

Alabama coach Nick Saban said Tuesday he wouldn't support the Southeastern Conference's changing its rule requiring in-conference graduate transfers to sit out a full season before they are eligible to play.

NCAA rules allow graduate transfers to play immediately, but under current SEC policy, players are unable to transfer within the conference without a waiver. If they choose to do so anyway and don't receive a waiver, they must sit out a season before regaining eligibility.

"I don't think it should be on me," Saban said during the SEC spring meetings in Destin, Florida, according to ESPN.
