The McBeane Character Requirements...
Sky Diver replied to blacklabel's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So. Where did Nick Saban say anything bad about Rosen? Can you point it out to me? -

The McBeane Character Requirements...
Sky Diver replied to blacklabel's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Rosen should have had three or four girls in the hot tub in his dorm room, not just one. He should have played up the oppression of college football players more too and thrown in race for good measure. Why just one more SB than Brady? He should have said that he would at least double his total. Rather than F Trump on his hat, he should have spray painted it on himself naked. Rookie mistakes. He probably needs a better agent. His level of ridiculousness is good, but i think he could have taken it to a whole other level. -
Inordinate Amount of Focus on Quarterback

Not sure why people think Mayfield can’t fall to 12

I wish. Hoping that the Pats trade up for Rosen. -
Is there a fight??? I'm educating since there is a lot of ignorance about Alabama. Are top students attending Alabama? The answer is clearly yes. The proof is the 75th percentile ACT score of 32 and the number of NMF's, which is among the highest in the country. With the guaranteed merit scholarships it's a bargain for students that have high stats. I don't know how to define a "top" school. Alabama has world class facilities, they produce a high number of Goldwater, Rhodes, Boren, and Truman scholars, and graduates are successful at getting into great graduate and professional schools and companies.

Don't think that will be his career path. He's a great punter. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/jk-scott?id=32462018-0002-5600-7115-5dafcb9a6922 Alabama is about 1/2 the cost of Berkeley for CA students that have a min 32 ACT and a min 3.5 GPA, plus those kids aren't guaranteed admission at Berkeley. In-state cost for Alabama students isn't germane to the discussion. https://financialaid.berkeley.edu/cost-attendance Top Kids from IL are flocking to UA because of the cost of The University of Illinois. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-met-illinois-students-brain-drain-20180405-story.html

Really nice letter from Minkah Fitzpatrick regarding his experience at Alabama. Amazing player and seems like a genuine guy. There are some insightful comments about Nick Saban. https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/minkah-fitzpatrick-thank-you-alabama There are a lot CA kids at UA. Berkeley is about $140K for in-state studends for 4 years and for kids that have a min 33 ACT and 3.5 GPA, Alabama is about $60K. Plus not all CA students get into Berkeley. If you can get into Berkeley and pay for it without massive student loans, it's a great choice.

I'm not close to the program, but I haven't heard much negative about him. I heard he cracks a lot of jokes with the players in the film room. He's obviously a perfectionist. I've heard that even at kids camps he pulls kids aside and coaches them up. Former players seem to like him. https://www.seccountry.com/alabama/nick-saban-10-years-anniversary-alabama-football-players-tribute-crimson-tide Students run into him at mass and I've heard that he is gracious. I think he is different personally than his public persona.

VT does have a large 25th - 75th percentile range, 25 - 30. but not as large as Alabama's which is 23 - 32. Alabama also admits students directly into their engineering program, which means a lot of kids get weeded out fairly early on. Depending on the engineering discipline, about 15 - 25% of the students who start in engineering graduate with an engineering degree. Alabama has invested 100's of millions of dollars into their engineering program and has world class facilities. http://news.eng.ua.edu/2014/04/vision-is-reality-with-the-opening-of-the-final-building-ua-ready-for-a-new-era-of-engineering-and-science/ VT is an excellent school.

Top students from all over the country feel differently. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-met-illinois-students-brain-drain-20180405-story.html http://www.businessinsider.com/ronald-nelson-turned-down-every-ivy-league-school-for-university-of-alabama-2015-5 https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/06/education/edlife/survival-strategies-for-public-universities.html

Of course I Of course, every college has scholarships, grants and other forms of financial aid. I am talking about guaranteed scholarships based solely on merit. Here you go. With the cost of college, this is obviously a hot topic that he has been heavily researched. https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/2006094-2017-automatic-full-tuition-full-ride-scholarships.html

My point: The University of Alabama has very generous scholarships for high stat students. If he was in high school and was a good student, Alabama would be a good candidate school. GA has the Hope Scholarship though, so UA is a little less compelling than for GA stduents than for top students from states that have high in-state tuition. On the other hand, a lot of really good students can't get in GT or UGA.

Huh? The media loves him. Good for business. Ridiculous and stupid sells. The more outrageous the better. He should have had three or four girls in the hot tub in his dorm room. He should have played up the oppression of college football players more too and thrown in race for good measure. Why just one more SB than Brady? He should have said that he would at least double his total. Rather than F Trump on his hat, he should have spray painted it on himself naked. Rookie mistakes. He probably needs a better agent. People seem to never tire of side show antics.
