Nick Saban supports Witt’s call to appeal NCAA sanctions

Look on the bright side. There are some good reasons for Alabama to appeal its NCAA sanctions from Bookgate, as the school has announced it will.
Here’s perhaps the best reason of all:
Nick Saban believes the school should appeal.
The head football coach hasn’t said so publicly, but behind the scenes, on more than one occasion, he’s expressed his approval of university President Robert Witt’s decision to try to gain some relief.
No one should be surprised.
He may not have presided over the 16 games Alabama won in 2005 and 2006 that the NCAA vacated, and he may not share any blame for the players who took advantage of the system and the system that took far too long to catch them, but c’mon.
