What Alabama will reportedly pay Utah State to come to Tuscaloosa in 2022 is absolutely
ridiculous and insulting to the smaller schools in the state. According to Brett McMurphy,
the Crimson Tide will shell out a whopping $1,910,000 to play the Aggies at home. Per
McMurphy, that's the third highest total ever for a visiting team. Officially, the game has
not been announced yet by either school. What's disgusting to me and many other people
who live in the state is that Alabama will not schedule games with UAB, Troy, Jacksonville
State or South Alabama. Scheduling some of these smaller in-state schools would create
more interest than a Utah State and help our in-state programs. Sucks when you consider
Alabama schedules Mercer, Georgia State, Chattanooga, Charleston Southern, Western
Carolina and other boring matchups no one wants to see.
