They can't come up with the money. It was going to cost $75MM to get them out of Legion Field into a purpose built facility, fund support facilities, staff, and operations for something like the next 3-5 years. The don't have it, can't raise it privately, so the only option is for their daddy Bama to fund it or to raise it through a new bond deal.....i.e. for the University system to take on debt to support a loss making operation that attracts maybe 5-7K per game and has zero fan support despie having 22 years to show some results.

Actually yes most of the money was already pledged for the stadium, enough to pay back the debt payments for the next several years giving plenty of time to raise the rest of the money.

And you know that, but keep making up lies to make your side sound better.

They average 22k per game this year. Had 3 games with nearly 30k. And in the lowest attended game of the year on a cold December game after the killing of the program was announced they still had more fans than the figure you just said.

But like I said, keep lying out your arse to make yourself feel better about it
