It looks like Nick Saban has followed up on his threat to shut down the NFL's access to Alabama's practices.

Several scouts have said Saban has made it known that they're not welcome at Alabama's practices until further notice. Saban wants the NFL to crack down on agents and runners who jeopardize the eligibility of players. Alabama junior defensive end Marcell Dareus is being probed by the NCAA for a trip he took to Miami in the spring and whether any part of that trip was funded by agents. Dareus may be forced to sit out games this season depending on what the NCAA finds.

At the SEC media days, Saban didn't hold back on what he felt like needed to be done to fix the problem.

"It's not going to stop until we as college coaches lock them out, tell the NFL people not to even come to campus, that we're not going to let them on," said Saban, adding that he was going to talk with several of his coaching colleagues about adopting similar policies.

"We have a responsibility to educate the players, and the players have a responsibility to make good choices. The NFL has a responsibility to monitor what those people do, and I don't think that's being done correctly. As soon as they take somebody's license away for affecting the eligibility of a college player, they won't do it anymore."

Florida coach Urban Meyer has also closed all practices this season, in part, to protect his players from agents and runners.

"I'm concerned about stuff where you get NCAA violations and scumbags that are involved that shouldn't be involved," Meyer said last week. "One way to control it is ... get out."
