It may not be allowed, but I have a feeling this means they set him up a "quarantine" location inside one of the stadium boxes to skirt the rule.

"However, it turns out that a NCAA rule will prevent Saban from having any contact with the coaching staff during the game if the coach has to remain quarantined at his house. Saban would be prohibited from communicating with the team or coaches beginning 90 minutes before kickoff until the end of the game. That means no halftime speeches or adjustments from Saban would be allowable under the rule either.

A similar scenario unfolded earlier this season for first-year Florida State head coach Mike Norvell, who tested positive for the coronavirus and missed his team's game against Miami. Norvell was involved in preparation from his home during the week, but he was not able to have contact with his Seminoles staff in the 90-minute period before the game and during the contest."

Did anyone else notice the face mask CNS wore in the last game and last night's interview was  very transparent, see through?

If Bama players start getting infected this could be a sad season.

If we could get our defense back to a Saban defense we could win the NCG with no worries I think. RTR!
