Bama fans in general seem pretty impartial to basketball now that Saban is in town.

Doesn't Bama include student tickets to non-football events in the cost of attendance?
Maybe if they forced students to pay full price for each and every game, students would have the power of the price signal to influence the quality of their basketball team?
Think about. By handing out reduced priced tickets to Alabama students, the athletic department is basically writing their own checks. But if you forced students to buy their own tickets, and if students aren't impressed with the quality of the non-football athletics, they won't spend their money to attend.
Therefore, you create an incentive system for the athletic department to improve those sports.
