I saw the report so I know you are not lying. But can the Bama fans explain to me how the program made money this year. I have seen yalls attendance on TV, there seems to be no way yall are pulling a profit

You would be wrong....Bama averaged over 11 thousand fans per game this season and that is with a crap product on the floor.

It's more than LSU and twice as much as Auburn providing yet another reason why the OP is one of the dumbest posters on TRant

Bama basketball makes money and puts arses in seats.

Which is more than UAB football has been able to do in 20+ years of existance.

On TV, you are only seeing the lower seats. Those season tickets get bought by people that just want the Tide Pride points. The tickets are still sold, but the seats aren't always used. We still have a good amount of people that buy the single game tickets which are in the higher seats.
