Just so we're clear, you don't believe Bryant had the clout to force Wallace's hand in '65 (had he chosen to)?


Dude, read the damn article and STFU.

quote:

“[Wallace] was especially watchful of the University of Alabama and let it be known to the school's president, Frank Rose, that funds would be cut if he crossed swords with Wallace on racial policies,”


I swear, you make beating a dead horse look like a vacation.

That really doesn't address the critical part of my hypothetical.

It's perfectly evident that Wallace would have his way if Bryant remained silent (publicly) on the issue. I asked what he'd do if Bryant made his desires known to all. The article doesn't answer that question and neither have any responses on the thread.

Not sure why that's so frustrating.
