Anyone paying out of state rates to go to Alabama....over in state to Rutgers is not doing for academics.
But it's not even money. I believe Bama is giving full rides to top out of state students that qualify for the Honors College.
I already stated that if you get a full ride at any school you have to consider it. It's difficult to beat free unless they don't have your major or you just don't like the environment. RU also gives out academic scholarships (partial or full).
Personal taste is absurd? I wouldn't be caught dead dressed up for a football game like I was going to chatillion. It's self important douchebaggery at its finest for airhead sorority girls and meatheads, celebrating a cultural identity that is a chancre on the ass of American history.
Gads, are all the posters here super into traditions that reify elite status? I was more of a Dead Kennedys guy.
This is a big difference you guys don't seem to get:
“There’s less of a ‘Let’s get athletics’ among our faculty than most places,” said Dr. K. Clark Midkiff, a professor of mechanical engineering here for 30 years and a former president of the faculty senate. “I think what they are doing with athletics is reasonable and proper. Yes, winning three national champions was a nice bump, but it isn’t the dominant reason for our growth. We had a vision as an institution, and a lot of people worked hard to make it work.”
Last year, the athletic department recorded a $33 million profit, according to university documents. It gave $9.1 million to the university, including $4 million for the university’s Presidential Scholarships, which go to top-performing students. Since 2010, athletics have also provided $1 million annually toward faculty salaries. The biggest line item in the budget is $16 million to pay for more than 300 scholarships at full price.

You should read scarletstate's post. Alabama is the exception, not the norm. RU lost 36mm last year. one can argue addition by subtraction.
