The football program at Alabama is adding money to the general fund and is helping the university attract elite students from all over the country. The majority of students are from out of state. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-met-illinois-students-brain-drain-20180405-story.html https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/06/education/edlife/survival-strategies-for-public-universities.html About 84% of the football players at Alabama graduate with their degrees. "Alabama is one of seven programs that recorded a 100-percent graduation rate for members of its 2010 freshman football class. Joining the Tide this year are Cincinnati, Middle Tennessee, Northwestern, Utah, Utah State and Virginia." http://www.rolltide.com/news/2017/12/6/alabama-football-shares-2017-afca-academic-achievement-award.aspx Great football and great academics.

Joshua Dobbs played QB for a big time college program and earned a degree in Aerospace Engineering, arguably the most difficult engineering degree. http://espn.com/blog/sec/post/_/id/115511/joshua-dobbs-aerospace-engineering-and-five-more-cfb-players-with-crazy-majors Rosen said that it’s too hard to play football and do academics, so it must not be true. We all know that Rosen is god-like with his superior intelligence and intellect.

Rex was a horrible hire. -
Dear Brian Daboll, -Do you stink as an OC?

If Alabama hired him he must be good. -

Maybe it’s just a little premature to throw Daboll under the bus? -
Moving up to #2 = No Playoffs for the next three years

It's not only the football team that is getting top performers. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-met-illinois-students-brain-drain-20180405-story.html

The article says that we should thank him for sparking a debate. The problem is there isn't much interest in a debate. And if you dig deep until what he is really saying, consciously or unconsciously, the debate will be pretty inflammatory. http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2017/08/instead_of_hating_josh_rosen_f.html

Name calling isn't becoming to you. I thought we were supposed to be thanking Rosen for sparking a debate? Isnt that what the article at Al.com says that you keep linking? Now that there is a debate you are having a hissy fit. http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2017/08/instead_of_hating_josh_rosen_f.html As a group, what is different between swimming, diving, softball and gymnastics and football? Even though the 75th percentile ACT results between UCLA and Alabama are nearly identical, why do you think that the 25th percentile results are so different? Put on your thinking cap.

UCLA SAT: Overall Male: 1307 Male Athlete: 998 https://thehuskyhaul.com/2012/05/16/comparing-the-acceptance-rates-of-athletes-to-the-general-public/ The irony in Rosen’s comments, of course, is that UCLA is one of the worst offenders in bending the rules for athletes. As far as I can tell, no media outlet has picked up on this. But that is the sorry state of journalism these days. And what does swimming, diving, softball and gymnastics have in common, and how do they differ from football?
