He took a shot at Bama because they're at the top, but I feel like he was really taking a shot at SEC schools in general.
Regardless, Stanford still fields a better football team and owns UCLA's arse despite being having higher academic standards. It was a dumb statement from him even thouhh there is still some validity in it.

Just by taking a quick look at the overall history of Notre Dame...
It seems completely with in reason to create a dynasty with pretty top notch academic standards. So go frick yourself Josh Rosen, you fricking nerd.

Rosen should have done a bit more homework before trying to make a point.
Although a 2008 report: LINK
Data from the same report at different link: LINK
Even when UA was in the desperate probation years, it admitted football players with an avg. 926 SAT while the elite, high standard UCLA was admitting football players with an impressive 935 SAT avg ... a whopping 9 pts difference.
However, as noted in the first point, that admission standard gap from regular student to "student" athlete is bigger at UCLA than any other school.
Special admission standards and cluster athlete degree programs are the norm for all major sports schools. I fully understand why he chose UA as they are on top of the college football world and it plays into a national narrative about weak Southern academics and corrupt athletics, but he should have been a bit more introspective in his assessment.
All sports programs are corrupt to some degree. The vast majority of all athletes in major sports in colleges receive admissions privileges over the normal student. But, when your school leads the way in providing those privileges, according to latest info available, ... shut the frick up or own it.

Alabama also has no disciplinary standards.

You are the premier idiot out of all the idiots around here.
The off-season title is now within reach for LSU.

No but you clearly lack any reading comprehension of that is what you took from the article. I mean you must be Forrest Gump level of retarded.

There's a reason the writer chose Alabama for forest gump. Even a fantastic tale such as this has to have somewhat believable parts. What school can I put my dim witted, half retarded character in that would make sense. Stanford? No. Alabama! Yes. Even a fairy tale has to have some realism.

Or it was because Forest was a poor boy from Alabama, it was pure luck that college coach saw him, and Alabama had one of the best teams during that time period which just made his story more incredible.

How many times is this going to be posted before the start of the season?

Sounded like a very well stated opinion. And he isn't wrong.
