Nick Saban's daughter Kristen recaps her biggest moments of 2024 on New Year's Eve via her latest IG post

While the Alabama Crimson Tide attempts to salvage its season at the ReliaQuest Bowl, Nick Saban's daughter Kristen Saban is recapping her year through a new Instagram post.

The reel shows some of the highlights of her year, including attending her father's Icon Award gala at this year's ESPYS and some Crimson Tide games at Bryant Denny Stadium with her kids.

The reel also showed her father working at his new gig as one of the hosts of College GameDay. Beyond that, it showed some non-football-related aspects of her life, including what seemed like trips to beach-like destinations.

The post was accompanied by the following comment in the caption:

"2024…Made it out alive ♥️🙏🏼"

Alabama is currently playing in the ReliaQuest Bowl. The game is a rematch of their College Football Playoff semifinal of last year, against Michigan. They're currently 16-0 down at the start of the second quarter.

Nick Saban College Football Commissioner? Yes, according to James Franklin

With the ever-constant expansion, and its ever-more significant turn toward business-like practices, every year it's more clear that college football is its own animal.

This has led to some discussions, not for the first time we might add, regarding the possibility of the sport breaking away from the NCAA to form something more akin to the NFL.

If that were ever to happen, Penn State's James Franklin knows who would be the ideal person to lead the sport into a new age: Nick Saban. In his Sunday presser, the Nittany Lions coach touched the point and said:

"I think one of the most important things we can do is, let's get a commissioner of college football that is waking up every single morning and going to bed every single night making decisions that's in the best interest of college football," Franklin said on Sunday ahead of the Fiesta Bowl, via ESPN.

"I think Nick Saban would be the obvious choice if we made that decision. Now, Nick will probably call me tonight and say, 'Don't do this,' but I think he's the obvious choice, right?"

The possibility of college football breaking away has recently resurfaced, especially after a college realignment in which almost every significant program ended up either in the SEC or the Big Ten. This has led many to wonder if the SEC and Big Ten schools wouldn't be better off breaking away and forming their own thing.

How that could develop, we don't know. But we do know Nick Saban would be the perfect choice to lead that transition.
