re: Alabama and the number 12

This is copied and pasted from the NCAA website relating to Poll Champions. I count 17. Most folks think we're being arrogant when we claim 14 but actually we're being gracious.....

re: Can somebody from Alabama explain this to me?

Incorrect. As much as I hate the lawsuit against an alumn, it is about precedent. Others could use the fact that the University doesn't exercise same requirements to all vendors.

The University likely couldn't care less about the 3-7% of what Moore makes ($30-70K wld have been University's take on the 2009 paintings). It is about protection from others. They've spent way more in legal fees fighting this than they would have made from Moore. It isn't about Moore. It's about everyone else...as crazy as that sounds.

More than any of the answers, this is correct.
