Coaches Team Up To Fight the Opioid Epidemic

Alabama coach Nick Saban is set to join current and former athletes and coaches from West Virginia and Marshall universities this week as part of an effort to fight the opioid epidemic. They’re coming together at the Greenbrier Resort for a group called West Virginia Game Changer. It’s a community initiative designed to educate and support youth to make healthy choices. Saban and his wife are both West Virginia natives. There will be a golf tournament Thursday on the Old White Course along with a luncheon featuring prevention specialists and educators who will detail the group’s plan to address opioid misuse. Former WVU football coach Rich Rodriguez and current coach Neal Brown will also be there.
