Your daily briefing on what's going on with Alabama athletics and how to watch the Crimson Tide.
The SEC announced it will sponsor rowing as the conference's 22nd sport and the 13th women's sport on Friday. The announcement means Alabama will no longer compete in rowing as a Big 12 program, but instead join the res of the Crimson Tide athletic programs in the Southeastern Conference.
"The addition of Oklahoma and Texas has given us the opportunity to add an additional conference sport and to provide a championship experience for a new set of SEC student-athletes. We look forward to growing the sport of rowing in the SEC," said SEC commissioner Greg Sankey. Alabama will compete with Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas in the league's initial season. The SEC Rowing Championship site is yet to be determined but will be held in May of 2025.
"This is something that every rower at Alabama, from the beginning of our program, has dreamed of. I am very excited for our student-athletes," said Alabama head coach Glenn Putyrae. "Every athlete at Alabama trains to compete for and win an SEC Championship. Our rowers now have that opportunity, and I know they are excited about it."
