“Worth every penny considering ‘Bama football is a $100 MM revenue business.”

Nice to have a business where the labor is essentially free.

University of Alabama: one of the few schools where there is a spot on the admissions form for “Ring size”. For future reference purposes.

According the Forbes, the Bama football program earned almost $100 million for the university last year. That’s a lot of books and test tubes for the different departments for the college. There is a huge negative feedback from the public about the money spent for all the college sports programs, but most major universities and colleges are floating because of the income generated from football. It make tuition a little less and provides better classrooms. And TV contracts and bowl money are premium.
