How is this for academic priorities? The University of Alabama announced that it would cancel three days of classes, from January 6 to the 8th, so that students and faculty wishing to attend the Rose Bowl could do so. Not to worry, of course, as "[s]tudents should expect additional assignments to make up for the lost class time."
This is from the same university that pays its football coach, Nick Saban, 4 million dollars a year, which is seven times what its president makes.
And to think that some people still refer to the football players as "student-athletes." "Commodities" might be a much more appropriate moniker.
At least the University of Alabama does not pretend to be anything it is not.
Pasadena better be ready as the Tide rolls!!!
