Alabama head coach Nick Saban said on the Always College Football podcast Monday with ESPN commentator and ex-Crimson Tide quarterback Greg McElroy that he believes "megaconferences" are here to stay in the wake of USC and UCLA's moves to the Big Ten.
The seven-time national champion spoke about how conference shuffling has led to long-standing rivalries (e.g. Oklahoma vs. Nebraska) ending before noting that this new era will have some staying power (h/t ESPN's Alex Scarborough).
"But I think we're going to deal with it in a greater capacity than ever before because I think megaconferences are probably here to stay," Saban said.
