Final decision made as Alabama maintain talks for saban college future

It’s a time of transition in college football. The Pac-12 is all but dead, killed by the endless quest for more television money, while other realignment across the sport, kicked off by the SEC’s poaching of Texas and Oklahoma, is leaving smaller brands out in the cold and ending historic rivalry games.

From the outside, the sport appears headed to an era of superconferences, regardless of the impact on historic games. Alabama would almost assuredly remain at the top level of college football, however it changes, but head coach Nick Saban still didn’t seem thrilled by the current direction.
