That is my point. Of those 22,136 applicants, how many met the minimum qualifications ? Every kid who is a bammer football fan will pay their $50 application fee.

That's such a weak arguement. I could say the exact same thing about Auburn, and like you, I would have nothing but guesswork to back it up with.
I'm sure the number of applicants does go up when the football program is doing well due to increased exposure but those applicants aren't limited to the unqualified. Out of state applicants and enrollment is largely driving the growth and those students are much less likely to be Bama fans. As you and others have stated, Bama has made a concerted effort to nationally recruit scholastic standouts, but you won't accept that as causing an increase in average ACT scores. No, it has to be Bama fudging the numbers.
