| NEWS ❓ What's the most "under-reported" story from Alabama Athletics in 2024? And, on the other hand, what's the most "over-rated" story this past year?

[TerryP]

I got this idea from a news show yesterday (CBS) which was asking their "panel" the most under-reported story for the news this year. I thought, "well, what about UA?"

What's your most under-reported story? And, vice-versa, the most over-reported?

Under-reported, in my view?

Kristi Curry and how she and the Bama team have quietly put together a 13-1 record heading into SEC play (UF, Jan 2nd, at home.)

Personally, I don't make a lot of their road loss to Cal in Berkeley. I do think the game a week after Florida (TX in Austin) should start to paint this season's picture.

Not saying negative of positive. BUt imo :


Over reported. Nicks retirement. And subsequent reactions. And continuing reactions

Under reported. The once fantasy of having a new basketball arena.
And just like that ....... it was gone!

This would fall in the category, under-informed.

There have been updates: from here all the way to the Board of Trustees. CNO has voiced his opinion as well as his priorities. Those have been echoed by the AD.

The next major step for the program? The new training and development facility which had the design and budge approved by the BOT a few weeks ago.

You want a bottom line update?

The administration, the staff, the coach..they all say our focus is on the NIL and then the new arena. The fans? Their focus is backwards. "We want a new arena" but don't show much passion towards the training facilities (where teams are built) or the NIL "elephant in the room."

As a side note you guys should all be paying attention to along with this? More money is being spent on the women's program. Why? It's part of that process to reach the "fans end game."
