It was a major slap in the face for the other collegiate football programs in the SEC today when Alabama's coach Nick Saban announced that he would be signing Tua Tagovailoa's 86 year old grandmother as 3rd string quarterback. The news came as a shock to many but Saban maintains that the move is perfectly legal as Mrs. Tagovailoa just enrolled at the University this semester. With a line-up of more push-over teams ahead in the schedule Saban states that Tua's Grandma will probably start and see more snaps than her grandsons.
Many see the signing as a major victory for senior citizen rights, and she will surely be an example in the future. She has since become spokeswoman for the National Arthritis Foundation but maintains that she will receive no financial compensation.
