Alabama coach Nate Oats, who can’t stay out of the news, made this statement after the Crimson Tide’s game today. It’s hard to believe how tone deaf Alabama has been this week.

- Auburn defeated USC, 12-6, and has won two straight over the Trojans in Alabama.
- USC defeated Washington State, 68-65, in double OT at the Galen Center. Here’s the bracket for the Pac-12 women’s basketball tournament.
InsideUSC with Scott Wolf 
Just read the account and apparently this Alabama hot-shot brought a gun in his car to his friend who later shot up another vehicle that he had an argument with, killing a girl he was interested in but was not reciprocated. There is a question as to whether the driver hot-shot blocked the opposing vehicle which could land him an accessory charge but the DAs don’t think they have a case at this point.

If a USC football player brought a gun to a friend who used it to kill a girl and drove the car to the scene he would undoubtedly be suspended from the university by the student judicial counsel. He would also likely be charged with a crime. Keenan Christian put someone in a headlock who was making advances toward his girlfriend and never played again. Budda Bolton threatened to kick someone’s ass at a fraternity party and never played again. And Bru McCoy and Matt Boermeister were kicked off the team based on disputed allegations of physical abuse toward a girlfriend.

I don’t think Saban would put up with Mr. “I’ve got a gun you can use. Do you need a ride.” Certainly, the Bama football players know you don’t pull the frisk move in front of Saban. All of this shows a “lack of institutional control” on the part of Bama. How about taking away 30 football scholarships over a three year period and no bowl games and see if this affects their program.

****On the other hand S, Mick Cronin in 4 years @ UCLA has:

Problem with basketball interest, one man’s opinion, is too many points are scored,
the opposite of soccer’s problems of practically “Zero to zero’ points.
‘Widen the net,’ ‘extend the 3-point shot-line out another foot,’ and presto, problem solved

Speaking of Miami…..The Women’s basketball program received the first NIL-related penalty. The details are a little vague on what the actual infraction was. They use the blanket “lack of institutional control” which covers it all. That means we get little to no details.
The penalty amounted to a parking ticket and a slap on the wrist. We can both agree it’s a start headed in the right direction. But does State law supersede the authority of the NCAA? Might we see it tested in the courts down the road?
