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.
