What's the timetable of these rules actually going into effect? How will this affect elite recruits and the way college coaches go after them? Al also dives into the unfolding drama concerning Nick Saban and former starting quarterback Jalen Hurts, who has voiced his displeasure with the Crimson Tide coaching staff and their lack of communication.
