BOL Round Table

The reason why is last year's 994 was tied for the fourth best single-year score in the nation. So in the year-by-year scores Alabama dropped, but its overall score was higher.

Awesome, thanks Chris.

The people's academic champions?

Yeah, seems I remember Texas talking about the PAC 12 being so superior academically to the SEC when they were entertaining thoughts of leaving the Big 12. Guess that is everyone but the football players.

This is priceless. I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that Alabama posts solid APR's, while Auburn's football APR is pretty mediocre. And I thought Saban was the one running players off to make room for new prospects? So why is Auburn's APR so much lower?

According to Marshall, Auburn is just kicking players off the team for drug use and having talented kids who are buried on the depth chart transfer. I guess Saban just runs them off, and then the REC pays the NCAA to inflate Alabama's APR numbers.

Not if they were on pace to graduate.

What he's clearly overlooking, and on purpose, is what kind of kids you recruit. We have a high standard of where we try to bring in kids that can succeed on and off the field. Sure we take a few gambles but compared to aubarn it's not even close. I know we have more to pick from than aubarn but PM would never admit that either. All comes down to the fact that more kids want to come to Bama and we can choose the best combination of STUDENT athletes that we want. Or at least stable kids that will grow in our program and do the right things. My two cents.

Btw...I love how I spell aubarn now without even thinking about it.
