On Sunday, social media blew up about Alabama students when images erupted on twitter showing students in big groups without masks on, and not social distancing.
Nick Saban’s daughter Kristen Saban, and Alabama football center Chris Owens was one of the first to start the conversation.
Even Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne joined in on the conversation and called out students for not following the suggested guidelines.
Byrne started by asking, “Who wants college sports this fall?”
And went on to tell fans and students that, “We’ve got to do better than this for each other and our campus community. Please wear your masks!”

Alabama is one of the programs in the country doing whatever they can to keep the hopeful start of college football alive.
When the Big Ten and Pac 12 decided to cancel their fall football season, the SEC, ACC, and Big 12 made it clear that they’re planning on playing this fall.
With the hopeful start of college football season in just a few weeks, the conversation has resolved around how Universities can prevent the spread of the coronavirus, protect the athletes, and preserve the upcoming season.
Alabama will find out on Monday the schedule for this fall.
Let’s hope, at this point, there will still be a season this year.
Roll Tide will keep you up to date with the very latest!
