I would argue that the Alabama football team hasn't really been engaging in "supporting" people that couldn't otherwise go to college for a long time. It is a billion dollar Enterprise that generates nearly $200 million in revenue every year. The only amateurs in college sports were the athletes (at least over the table). Now they are not. That's the only thing that has changed here. Major college sports are a professional game now.
I would STRONGLY disagree with that. Stars sure. There are a lot of kids on that roster that have no chance of going to the next level and getting that education is important to them, despite what boosters and fans think. Each school has a limited amount of them and here is a chance to increase it. Its short sided by fans to not see the larger picture for their school.
