I think you mean that the officials are in Bama's pocket.
Refs, Mark Emmert, Mike Slive, media etc.

Did you know that bama was the only school to not report scholarship numbers during the Saban era and even sued to keep the information secret?

for reference, in 2011, Saban explicitly stated, "Nobody really knows how many guys we had on scholarship last year, but it wasn't 85. I can tell you that"

Nick Saban coached at Bryant Denny Stadium which is only 55.1 miles via I-20 W/I-59 S and only takes 58 minutes to traverse one way or the other.

This enables referees to literally walk from Birmingham to Tuscaloosa if they needed to, that is how close it is


When is the last time you walked 55 miles?

The point of the post and clearly not one retard gump denying it is bama cheats.

Just a daily reminder that bama cheats and are only successful b/c they cheat at everything and more than anyone.

For what? For college athletics!!!

The entire State of Alabama is Crimson Tide Territory.

The account of cognitive dissonance required to believe both "Alabama doesn't have the money to compete with the big boys in college football in the world of NIL" and "Alabama only wins because they buy off the refs in every sport" at the same time is impressive. Sometimes it feels like every non-Bama poster on this board must be a woman.

This has always been a major problem in football not so much other sports. This maybe coming to an end.

A little research into how and why the SEC office is Birmingham.
A LSU Head Coach who became the commissioner of the SEC moved the whole thing to Birmingham.
History lesson for the day.

That is why Bama doesn't have the NIL money others schools do. Such a large percentage of their budget goes to pay off officials and the SEC office
