SEC Monitors Hurricane Isaias Threat to Alabama-Georgia Game as Trump Plans Saturday Visit

Summary
Alabama said Tuesday there are no plans yet to alter Saturday’s game against Georgia in Tuscaloosa, even as Hurricane Isaias threatens the region and officials keep reviewing forecasts.
Isaias could come ashore along the Alabama, Florida or Mississippi panhandle in the coming days, leaving the SEC and both schools waiting for clearer guidance on the storm’s track and strength.
SEC officials said they have been in contact with schools for two days and are weighing contingency plans, though alternate sites are constrained and Alabama would risk losing millions in game-day revenue.
Trump is also scheduled to attend the matchup — his second SEC game of the 2026 season — and Secret Service teams were already on campus Tuesday preparing for a possible presidential visit.
A clearer decision path is expected by Wednesday as Alabama juggles the high-profile game, Trump’s visit and other major weekend events across the state.
