Total bullsh!t. The cost of tuition throughout the UA system has rose more than 50% since 2000. The Bama football program does pay for itself, but they just had major upgrades like you mentioned, and they just bought out Shula.
blah blah blah
Total bullsh1t. I wish they'd burn the University in Tuscaloosa to the ground and salt the earth. Bunch of dumbass rednecks run the place, and I can't wait until UAB gets enough government support ot leave the system.
Yeeeeeeeeah, let us know how you really feel.
Prove that it didn't rise due to an expanding athletic budget.
Tuition always rises, but it has risen a MASSIVE amount -- an increase never before seen in the system. If there is millions laying around to pay Saban, then why are they increasing tuition? The Bama football team makes a lot of money, but not that much. You should go look into what teams have made over the past 5 years. It was in the NYTimes not long ago.
It's New Year's Day. I'm getting ready to take my son out to throw the baseball around some. You prove it.
BTW - Funding for the Athletic improvements were done through grants, donations, and loans. Nothing that sounds like it would affect tuition to me.
Alabama also has done some MAJOR non-athletic capital improvements as well - New buildings, new dorms, renovations, bought new land, etc etc etc.
