As I recall Alibaba football players live together in a dorm, are given special tutors, and generally graduate in Sociology. Your halfback is from Vallejo, California and couldn’t get into California even under its small percentage of entries under an athletic code. I admire Saban’s graduation rate, phony though it is.

Lots of General and Leisure Studies majors on those football factory teams. It would do an Evergreen College “student” proud.

I’ve heard many former players who even after their playing days are over, say that the lessons Saban taught them about attention to detail still ring in their ears today.

That’s a good coach!

Wrong. Why don’t you tell me what school you support so I can ridicule your team?

If by “California” you mean UC Bezerkley, I wouldn’t exactly be bragging on supporting that violent, Anti-American hellhole. It’s not a university but a Marxist propaganda factory.

The same applies to UCLA.
