It's not only the football team that is getting top performers.

Pretty incredible what a thriving athletic department can do for a university. 

 

Quote

 

The university invested heavily in new dorm construction and campus modernization to entice non-Alabamans, as well as in new scholarships to make Alabama’s costs comparable to students’ local universities.

 

In 2016, Alabama spent more than $136.3 million in merit scholarships, which are not based on a family’s financial need, according to university data. That is up from $28.5 million a decade ago.

Competition is healthy and it will make them both better. I don't see Jalen beating out Tua. I think Jalen would be better served changing positions if he wants to play in the NFL, but let's see how it plays out. It would be a pity if Jalen transfers, but I would wish him well. He's a great kid, as is Tua.

Old pic, by the way. he has a new look.

I'm not sure I buy into this this list completely, but Nick Saban is #12 on Forbes World's Greatest Leaders list, so at least they got that one right. ;)

Not the first time he's been on the list. He was #11 in 2016. He's dropped a spot.

 

i'm thinking of driving over to Tuscaloosa and throwing a brick through his window.

It's one of those new fangled Alabama rules.
