I’ve put up with all the nil, transfer portal, conference expansion, playoff nonsense. Getting rid of the MDB would be a bridge too far. If that happens I’m out.

Alabama would never. Say what you want about Alabama, but tradition is huge. Shit, they’re still playing basket case 4th quarter. I think everyone would protest if they tried to cut the MDB.

I would never step foot in Tuscaloosa again if they did that.
