Saban won't say if he will bench Jones, Ingram if Alabama doesn't hear from NCAA before game time

Julio Jones' status for Saturday's opener against Virginia Tech appears to be in the hands of the NCAA. Alabama coach Nick Saban talked this morning about the fuzzy opening-game status of wide receiver Julio Jones and running back Mark Ingram, defensive end and Monday shooting victim Brandon Deaderick and linebacker Cory Reamer, who has been sidelined with the flu.
Saban was asked if Alabama does not get a ruling from the NCAA by Saturday on the fishing trip that Jones and Ingram took in the spring, is he planning to sit the two starters out of the 7 p.m. game against 7th-ranked Virginia Tech?
"I think that is up to the NCAA," Saban said on the first of what will be a weekly Southeastern Conference teleconference with reporters. "It's not my decision to do anything."
Alabama investigated the trip and reported its findings to the SEC, which put the case in the NCAA's hands. The SEC Rocks!
