Alabama is a top 50 public university. Their athletic program is self-sufficient. NO TAXPAYER DOLLARS ARE USED TO FUND ANY PROGRAM. They can do whatever the hell they want.
Let's see, what do you want to bet that tax dollars have been spent to build that university, so they could field a football team, eventually, that funds the school?
What do you want to bet that the local community has spent money to build roads to service the university?
Etc., Etc., Etc.
Like there are not enough blacks in Alabama that need a scholarship...so we'll spend football tax money on Kenyan blacks.
Give all the academic scholarships to Kenyans, or Mexicans for that matter, but let them focus on school, not athletics...especially if they are over 18 as "freshmen."
And, BTW, they cannot do whatever the hell they want, their are NCAA regulations, which is the topic here, at root.
The regulations should be changed in order to eliminate this waste.
