I am surprise how many Bama fans do not know the inner workings of their own program. I guess that is why they are called sidewalk fans.

Explain the Rec to me


The Red Elephant Club has a secret office in the Bham office of the SEC and dictates everything from the SEC in football to fall in the favor of Alabama. This included scheduling, officiating (before game setup), officiating (during game extortion), officiating (post game rulings and explanations), player eligibility, NCAA payoffs, extermination of anyone who threatens Alabama brand, media hype, Saban's grass mowed, etc...

Its like the FBI, the CIA and the illuminati had a child which inherited all their powers but decided to use them purely for evil in the realm of college football.

As it is now, it exists solely to benefit Bama.

But the truth is, it exists solely to protect the show cow. Time was, that meant protecting Florida.

Nope. Still not over the phantom three-yard "gain" for Tebow or the late hit called on Bua.

And I wish I could say that I'm surprised that someone like you could take what's evidently five straight years of reading conspiracy theories on ITAT and turn that into "fact."

I was told that was the reality for the majority, but that there was a powerful inner circle that did the dirty work you mentioned under the myth.

Ask around a see if you think it is a conspiracy theory. Like I said, most sidewalk fans have no clue.

Ask people for their theories on the conspiracy theory and see if that makes you think it's any less of a conspiracy theory. fricking brilliant.

Saban buys a Mercedes Dealership... Mercedes builds a plant 20 min down the road. Tell that the REC is not real!

A group of rich old men who were used to having their hands in the football program and never being told no. Until Saban came in and cussed them like a dog and threatened to have them disassociated.

I thought you might be more than a sidewalk fan. But you still might know an actual member.

Myth: They are a mafia-like organization who uses their money and influence to turn games in Alabama's favor by paying off the officiating crews.

Exactly what I imagined

They're just big money people. They bought Nick Saban's house in 2013 and continue to pay the property taxes while he and his wife live there just to "make him happy." There's no question who runs the REC since 2007.
