    What’s the actual theory here? Looking at the score, they only lost by 2 on Friday night when playing in Baton Rouge.

    between the gambling infractions, Henry Ruggs, and a quarter of the basketball team's crimes, I think it's safe to say we need a complete and total shutdown of their athletic department until we can get to the bottom of this.

    Bama's coach pulled the starting pitcher like 30 minutes before the game and Vegas didn't have enough time to change their lines. The bettor in Ohio got tipped off about the pitching change.

    This is from a group text. I don't know anything else

    Greg Byrne deserves to be fired for so many things at this point. What an embarrassment his department is

    But at least all those out of state students got Bama into the top 125 of the US World News rankings. Oh wait

    This is an odd place to bring down Alabama.

    Ever since Great American Ballpark opened in 2003, they have had a restaurant in left field called The Machine Room that has a 1970’s Reds theme.

    The seats are terrible and it’s always struggled, so they licensed it to a local place Buffalo Wings & Rings, which is a Buffalo Wild Wings knock off.

    It still struggled, so they allowed BWR to put a sports book there, with 15 betting kiosks.

    Casinos here are required to report any cash transaction above $10k, but no idea if that is what triggered this.

    If Bohannon’s firing is tied to the gambling issue, then he has to be more involved than just making a late scratch pitching change. Either he made the change and tipped someone off to it to place a bet or the bet was placed for/by him by proxy. He has to be tied to the bet more than just making the late pitching change. Only thing that makes sense to me. But nothing has been said that the gambling issue has anything to do with why he was fired.

    Bunch of law schools opted out of the rankings

    And Bama devised this whole enrollment management approach to rise up the rankings and I think they actually dropped significantly
