On Monday, Alabama coach Nick Saban addressed an incident Saturday after his team’s loss to Tennessee on Oct. 15 where a video on social media appeared to show Alabama wide receiver Jermaine Burton hitting a woman on the field. Burton was not suspended by either the program or the conference, and Fox sportscaster Tim Brando ripped both Saban and the SEC for not punishing him.
“I thought what happened with Burton was beyond the pale,” Brando said on the Jacques Talk podcast. “Any other player does that, any other player does that on any other team, the conference office comes in and suspends the kid for a game. If the coach doesn’t do it, the conference office does.
