Nick Saban declines Alabama vs. Wisconsin home-and-home series - NCAA Football - Sporting News

 

[Igothawked]

Not surprising for obvious reasons, but still pretty spineless on Saban's part.

Alabama has nothing to gain playing Wisconsin.

 

[Kinnickson]

I thought Wisconsin was an elite program?

 

[TheOnePercent]

Alabama has a tough enough schedule as it is. No recruiting benefit from playing Wisconsin either.

alabama played a home & home with penn state very recently, maybe even the past two seasons?
I don't think saban is "afraid" of becky as much as he just doesn't care to deal with a jerkoff like bielema

Florida Atlantic, Western Carolina &Western Kentucky disagree

Their fans love to think so.

Alabama plays Michigan this year (neutral site - Jerry's place), West Virginia in 2013 and 2014 (both in Atlanta) and Michigan State in a home and home in 2016/2017. Also, Georgie Tech in 2019 and 2020. That's not bad.
