re: AU gets literally laughed at in Joel Klatt’s breakdown of Bama/Michigan. Hate to see it

SoFla, it's a matter of degree and how much a school's administration will prostitute itself just to win BIG in college sports. UAT decided a hundred years ago that football was much easier and cheaper to bring notoriety and acclaim to campus via football than academic achievement. The much more harder and expensive and not as parade ready as football was the improvement of diets, promoting soil conservation, increasing the quality of housing, preventing sickness and providing food and fiber to people and industry. There is a reason(s) that Bill Curry, Mike Dubose, Mike Shula won so many games and championships at UAT however were not successful at any other school. It may be a short list but Saban would not have similar success he has had at Bama at: GA Tech, Purdue, Northwestern, CAL, NC State, VA Tech, West Point, Vanderbilt, Miss State, Kansas et al. Saban is a fine football coach and may be a terrific person but if he is the GOAT then it is because he coaches at Bama the last true football factory in America.
