Why would they not give out the numbers??? Seems very strange, what are they hiding?

Every Division I public school in this state provides us a copy of those reports. Only Alabama blacks out the scholarship numbers for every sport.
We know from the latest form that Alabama reported spending $3,041,356 on football scholarships for the 2009-10 academic year. We don't know how many players Alabama reported having on scholarship that year.
The News has asked Alabama several times to explain why it withholds information we believe is a public record. The heart of the explanation, from university spokesperson Deborah Lane: "Federal privacy laws prevent the University from providing the media with personally identifiable information related to its students."
Excuse me, but what? The NCAA form doesn't include the names of players on scholarship. Just the numbers. Besides, if Alabama considers it a potential privacy violation to release the number of football players on scholarship, why does the school announce the names of its signees every year?
Alabama's argument is inconsistent with its own practice.

The location of the rainbow that Nick Saban keeps his pot of gold at.

A better question is why this hack thinks Nick Saban or the University of Alabam owes him, or anyone else, anything.

As long as it's not blacked out on the reports to the NCAA...I just consider it being: Alabama trolling some folks

I like where Alabama fans decided to write U Mad on that picture.

A guy from Alabama calling other people from Alabama "rednecks". Classic.

The location of that "U Mad?"

What I gather from that article:
Former Auburn beat writer basically admits that his oversigning articles has no factual numbers to base his claims on.

Right where they knew the Auburn fans would be looking....

WTF? You know Bama doesn't have MORE scholarship players than is allowed. So, now you guys are giving up on the oversigning BS and are picking up the Bama-Doesn't-Have-Enough-Scholarship-Players mantra?
