Alabama Athletics will support former head football coach Nick Saban's new program for former players.
on Tuesday, appearing at the Old Overton Club in Birmingham. He began his annual Nick Kids Golf Tournament and announced a new venture with the University of Alabama.
“We are funding that to some degree. You know, when players get finished with playing, they aren’t done with me. We have so many great resources to help these guys move on to the next career. That’s something we want to get organized and do a better job of. Projects like that, I’ve never had a chance to do that,” Saban said.
“But that last one doesn’t last long, so eventually you’ve got to have that next career. ... You’re preparing yourself for when you can’t play football when you go to college. We have great resources at Alabama.”
