Credits to USCwest. Alabama is not where they are today if NCAA/rest of college football isn't jealous of USC's success ---> wrongful punishment.


Alabama went 26-2 in 2008 and 2009, winning an SEC and National Championship. This was while Pete Carroll was the coach at Southern Cal and before the NCAA handed down any type of probation. Southern Cal went 9-4 (5-4 Pac 12) and lost in the Emerald Bowl in 2009. They lost their luster before the NCAA started handing down punishments.

So after losing the SEC Championship and getting taken down by Utah and then their emergence in 2009, there's no doubt scholarship reductions and bowl bans gave Alabama an edge moving forward. A lot of recruits want to play for NCs.

"It was also banned from bowl games in both 2010 and 2011 and was docked 30 scholarships over three years."
